Twisted Fire Starter or Damp Squib

Ever since we had a tree cut back and since thechimp stripped all the rotten wood out of the workshop, he has been waiting impatiently for an opportunity to burn some of the rubbish. This evening being damp and uninviting seemed like an idea opportunity- hopefully causing our neighbours as little annoyance as possible. At one point it looked as if it would be too damp for the fire to flourish but its burning away merrily now.
