I need a bucket of them sticks
If you like gathering fatlighter, do yourself a favor:

You can split bunches in 1/4 the time and investment is well worth it.
poor 2th, so misunderstood.
"This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you." John 15:12
"Strive for peace with everyone, and for the holiness without which no one will see the Lord." Hebrews 12:14
I was trying to light-heartedly offer the group a tongue-in-cheek compliment, but that's a bit above your level, eh?
Sorry to disappoint you, 2th, but I am well aware of where fat lighter comes from and have used it for decades. Unfortunately, I can no longer have fires in the fireplace as it bothers my wife even if the flue is drawing properly, which is why I was offering it to someone who might be interested in using it. I see no sense in my spending much time pulling stumps to chop up or cutting up logs to get to the heartwood instead of hauling them to the burn pile.
My question, which, again, was obviously above your maturity level to comprehend, or answer, is whether there is a particular variety of pine tree that tends to generate better or richer fatwood than others. It was just a curious question that a young neighbor kid asked me and I didn't have a good answer, but figured someone here might know. Apparently not, or they're all the same. No hair off my ass...
Go drink some more fluoride, 2th. It may help you some day.

I think it was a form of southern yellow pine, but don't exclude VA pine
Personally, I think I find more fatwood in thinner trees in VA pine (at least it seems that way when I run over thinner ones with the bush hog), than I do in Lob Lolly or Long Leaf, but I've never really studied it as I'm not a poet. I guess I should get Duckcutter up here one day and let him roam around.

Hercules never made gunpowder or dynamite from fat lighter.
My boy will spend a week digging up a stump. If anyone needs some, we got plenty F6A3146D-EACE-4A95-B241-FC936BD5ADBA.jpg
I find old growth logs of long leaf that are straight grained and cut them into 10" blocks that are easy to split. The log in the first picture is over 20' long and feels like it weighs 300 lbs.

Lewis Stowe just turned a trumpet call from a fat lighter knot. Turned out beautiful!
