because we do
By burning wood in it. Build some paper and small dry wooden parts to start the fire and slowly increase the size of the logs. You should take care that the wood gets enough air to keep burning. This can be facilitated by starting the fire on andirons and/or a fire grate.
Natural wood is the best fuel for a fireplace. Large logs are typically considered the fuel for a fire, but in order to get the fire started, you need some smaller pieces of wood, called kindling. A great way to go for easy fire starting with natural wood is to use fatwood kindling that has tree resin in it, which allows it to ignite easily.
Start fires with kindling or another fire starter
It is difficult to ignite wood or coal using a lit match. The match would burn down and singe your fingers long before the wood or coal would light. Using kindling of dry wood shaving, or thin twigs and dry grass, or paper (with or without kerosene), will ignite with one match and burn long enough to light a fire of wood or coal.

1.Kindling a fire is adding small pieces of wood to the fire to get it started. 2. Kindle means "ignite" i could use a little more info than this
to use a kindling for a fire
It is best to use a soft wood for the spindle and base board. Some examples of soft wood are cotton wood, elderberry, mulefat, and saguaro. You can also use cattail for the spindle if you are able to find it.

use newspaper or a fire log,start with kindling then add the bigger pieces when the fire gets going I use old cardboard egg cartons, you can place old candle wax into them and keep them for the next fire. You can also pour melted was over pine cones as these work well too. Scrunch up a piece of news paper and place the egg carton on top. A few pieces of kindling wood leaning up against that and a couple of pieces of thicker wood on top of them (note: only put a large log on the fire once it is going well). Make sure there is plenty of draft(air getting into the wood box).
Let's find some kindling to start the campfire
To start a fire, people commonly use tools like matches, lighters, or fire starters to ignite a flammable material such as kindling, paper, or wood. By combining a source of ignition with dry, easily combustible materials, they can create a flame that will grow into a fire.
