Scrunched up newspaper and a few sticks, but if you gave me a bag of Doritos I'd be more inclined to burn than eat them it would be like burning cardboard which is what the taste reminds me of.

Silver birch bark works very well when dried

+1 got a load of birch and wanted to get fire going so used bark went very well and a good flame.

My dad uses the prawn crackers that comes free with a Chinese. Like the Doritos they burn well & really get the fire going.
