We make our own "fire starter pucks" every year. I start with a paper egg crate left over from most any grocery store purchase. Once the eggs are gone, I reach into the back of the table saw and get a handful of sawdust to pack into each of the "egg depressions". After they are full, I pour melted "Gulf wax" (bought in the canning section of any grocery store) over the sawdust. Once that sets up, I close the lid on the egg crate and put it in the trailer. When needed, just break off one of the "egg depressions", paper and all, place it in the firepit, light it and it'll burn (sort of like a candle) producing enough flame to encourage most firewood to a nice flame.

When I cut firewood with a chain saw, I save the larger sawdust chips produced by the chain saw. They tend to produce a better flame than the finer table sawdust, but both will work for most applications.
