Tinder is the bridge between a spark or a flame and your kindling. It has one job: to catch easily and burn long enough, and hot enough, to light the twigs above it. Good tinder is fine (lots of surface), dry and airy. Some natural tinders add a fourth quality that matters enormously in Britain: oils or resins that burn even when damp.
