What is fat lighter?

Fat lighter, also known as pine resin or fatwood, is the highly flammable and resinous heartwood of pine trees. It is produced when dead or dying pine trees secrete resin in order to seal and protect their wounds.

Fat lighter is a popular fire-starter due to its exceptional flammability, with even a small amount of the resinous wood able to catch fire easily and burn hot and fast. In addition to its use as a natural fire starter, fat lighter is also used in a variety of other applications, including as a natural adhesive, as a natural insect repellent, and as a key ingredient in certain musical instruments. It is also sometimes used as a natural disinfectant, as the high levels of resin in the wood can help kill bacteria and other pathogens. Overall, fat lighter is a useful and versatile natural resource with a wide range of applications.
