Have you ever tried to start a fire with a bunch of paper? It doesn't work great, and what a mess.


Done it plenty of times.

Works great until you run out of paper.


It burns too quickly, and leaves a ton of ash behind that flies everywhere.

Of course it works in a pinch.


Yes, and it was fine, but sure, I typically burn wood.
