Aren't Christians one of the most likely groups to
engage in book burning, historically speaking?

Actually I like the idea of using books that are in
bad enough shape to be on their last read in that
manner.  Stephen King even wrote one that was labeled
as being specifically for this purpose. :)

Since I have recently taken to reading ebooks on my
iPaq I haven't figured out how to use this method.  I
guess ebooks just aren't good firestarters. :)

Seriously, my emergency kit contains a couple Bic
lighters, a candle, and some parafin soaked corrugated
cardboard all in a ziplock bag.  These items have
never failed me for starting a fire when needed.

Traditional methods are good to know and fun to
practice, but when soaked and cold, easier is better.
