What you need to start a fire properly
The secret to making a good fire is to build it up gradually, beginning with small pieces of wood, then progressing to larger branches and logs as the fire gets going. Your wood should be graded into tinder, dry kindling, and lots of small sticks, large sticks, and logs. Get each size of wood burning well before adding larger pieces.

Tinder
You will need a ball of tinder at least the size of a grapefruit, buffed to its finest consistency. Tinder is the most important part of a fire, since you cannot start a fire by just lighting thick sticks…unless of course you use a manufactured firestarter that takes the place of tinder.

Once the tinder has begun to burn, you can add dry kindling in the form of small sticks and leaves. Make sure that the kindling is bone dry. The sticks should be about the thickness of a pencil.

Scrooge When the kindling is burning well, you can add sticks about the thickness of a finger. The sticks take the flames from initial stages to a fully burning fire.
Main Fuel
Large sticks act as the main fuel. They should be thicker than your finger, but easy to break into manageable pieces. You will use mainly this size fuel for your fire.

Thick logs are for keeping an established fire going all night, or in a semi-permanent camp. Make sure that they are completely burned when you put out the fire or you use enough water to completely put them out.
