lightwood
Easily ignited wood
Lightwood is wood that catches fire easily, especially the resinous heartwood of pine trees used for kindling.
The term is primarily Southern American: We gathered some lightwood to start the campfire.
Lightwood burns hot and fast, making it ideal for getting larger logs going.
