A question was going around at a party (beer may have been involved) about how do you light a fire when all the firewood is wet...

Some answers were pretty funny. Involving flame throwers, WP, and other military solutions.

When the time came for my ex to answer, she said: "Call down to room service and demand dry firewood".

And so it goes. ;)

Poor on a bunch of used motor oil.
add a cup of Gas. Stand back and light from afar.(quickly)

Do not do this in a confined area.

When my buddies and I used to go ‘’camping’’(late-teenage male bonding with booze and uh... other libations) I solved the ‘’wet firewood’’ problem nicely. We were camping out here in the Pine Barrens of southern NJ and it had been raining so what to do? I remember passing a small hardware store(remember those? ). So I said “Wait here a minute guys, I’ll be right back’’. I jumped into my VW bus, went back to this little hardware store, luckily for me ‘cuz the old guy was getting ready to close, bought a small can of paint thinner and presto! No more wet firewood.
