Why is it necessary to start a campfire with many small pieces of kindling rather than a few large logs?

Starting a campfire with many small pieces of kindling is essential because smaller pieces catch fire more easily and burn hotter, providing the initial heat needed to ignite larger logs. Kindling allows for a quick and efficient buildup of flames, which helps create the right conditions for larger fuel sources to catch fire. Using a few large logs at the start may result in a smoldering fire that struggles to establish itself. Overall, starting small ensures a more successful and sustainable fire.
