The best thing to do is buy a box of starter logs. You have to have really hot coals to get many oaks to burn. I use duraflame starter bricks and save half hour of prep time.
Kindling is simply small splinters of wood used to start a fire. When you are splitting wood, save the small pieces as 'kindling' to start your fire. Small wood starts easier than large pieces of wood. It is simply small pieces of wood.
The smokehouse I once toured had three types of wood on hand: Oak, Hickory, and Pine. The Hickory was the main wood for the fire. The Oak was used to 'cool the fire', and the Pine was used to 'heat up the fire'. In the lower 48, Mesquite wood has become popular. Happy 'cuing!
No, it is difficult to start a fire with wet wood because the moisture in the wood makes it harder to ignite and sustain a flame.
FIRE OF TIME oak wood is realy strong when you try to cut it it will taske a while but the work will pay off ones you throw it into the fire it will keep you warm for a long time
oak is a very hard wood
Trying to start a fire with damp wood is very difficult. When I backpack I always carry some tinder (dry shavings) to start a fire. Wet wood will not burn unless the fire is hot enough to evaporate the water that is in the wood. You can burn damp wood on an already burning fire but it will not burn as hot. Wet wood tends to smoke a lot and may go out on a small fire that does not have a good coal base. I have had to use damp wood to start a fire before but I had to shave down the wood until I found dry wood inside. Once you get a small fire started gradually add wood until you can get a hot fire. Too much wet wood at once can put out a fire. Not a good thing when you are cold and wet. Be patient.
The ignition temperature of oak wood typically ranges from about 300 to 400 degrees Celsius (572 to 752 degrees Fahrenheit). This is the temperature at which oak wood can catch fire and sustain combustion. Factors such as moisture content and the presence of additives can influence the exact ignition temperature.

To effectively start a fire with wet wood, you can use dry kindling and tinder to help ignite the wet wood. Additionally, you can try using a fire starter or accelerant to help the fire catch on the wet wood. It's important to ensure proper ventilation and airflow to help dry out the wood and sustain the fire.
To effectively start a fire using wet wood, you can use dry kindling and tinder to help ignite the wet wood. Additionally, you can try splitting the wet wood to expose the drier interior and use a fire starter such as a fire starter log or gel to help get the fire going. It may take longer and require more effort, but with patience and persistence, you can successfully start a fire with wet wood.
oak is better than mapple to keep a fire going . maple starts faster than oak and is more warm.
