I'll try anything. I'll see if I can find some around and give it a shot. Winged sumac is abundant here so I intend to try that too, just haven't gotten around to it yet. So many hobbies, so little time...
I did try Crash's method of using tinder fungus as my hearth over the weekend with a hand drill and it worked pretty well. Bored through the fungus pretty quick, but it worked!
