Seaweed (dried)

I was walking along the coast this weekend and came across a lot of dry seaweed. I was wondering if it would be good for tinder. Any thoughts!

Didn't they used to burn seaweed for fertilizer in days gone by ?

Put a match to it, see if it burns and let us know.

That's a good idea, why didn't I think of that? I was thinking does it give off any harmful fumes or taint the food. Well Ive got a few new tinder ideas to test this week.
