I was in a carpenters workshop yesterday and picked up some off-cuts of pitch pine.The wood looked and smelt very 'fat' with lots of resin despite being 2nd hand decking timber off a ship.I briefly put a flame to a small slither and 'hey presto' had a mini inferno in my hand. I was so impressed with the flamability of this wood that I decided to try and light a fire in the rain with it. Despite wet kindling and no other tinder,I managed to light a fire in a torrential downpour. Q; is this what 'Maya' sticks are made from? I have never used the commercial variety and wondered if anyone can give a difinitive answer
