We get something from LLBean or similar, fat wood (?) which is expensive and then use a small fire starter. We live in a forest so have access to plenty of wood. I like the idea of making up a bunch of non-chemical starters and having them on hand.
If you live in the forest, then you should have access to plenty of free fatwood. Fatwood is the rosin-rich wood from the core of pine trees. When a pine dies and falls, it leaves the stump in the ground. A few years of age/rotting on the stump and the fatwood is easily pulled from the middle.
