Cedar - good for kindling?

[tree888]

Hi,

 

I have been offered some cedar to put through my kindling machine. Does Cedar make good kindling? Any potential issues I should be aware of? Thanks!

if it's dry it will burn well. lots of oil in it.

I've been using Cedar kindling for the past 2 years, all from the same tree, don't think there is much better, easy to split and burns with a fury.

Good for kindling & as the main fuel.

 

Its sort of half way between soft & hard woods. You do go through the volume of it as its so light when dry.

Great when you can get it, here in the states it adds different colors to the fire as well, neat!.
