Great story. In 6 weeks I'll be giving a bunch of brand new Boy Scouts MagFires as cross-over gifts. Owning the tool is just the first step in learning to use the tool.

I still don't understand what "fat wood" is. At one time I read of someone who had found a bag of it at Home Depot. For a while I thought it was a specific type of tree or bush, but you say you got some from pine tree stump. Hmmm. Can you provide a layman's explanation of what fat wood is and exactly where it can be found?
