What kind of trees do they have in Germany that have such perfectly formed branches? The trees in America were designed on LSD day. It's a miracle if you can find more than a 6 inch segment that's straight, not to mention the uniform width and perfect wood.

[@FelixImmler]

haa ha haa, this one is hazel... 😀

[@danstheman33]

Basswood, Tulip Poplar, and Sycamore (in that order) all work pretty well, and are pretty common in the Northeast at least. Basswood especially for the fireboard, with one of the other two as the drill, is my favorite. Basswood doesn't last long, you only get very few uses per hole (maybe 1-3 coals per hole), but it's so easy.
