NEU! Anzündholzmaschine
Mit dem neuen XX lässt sich ofenfertiges Anzündholz spielend leicht herstellen.
Rund- oder Kantholz (Weichholz) wird über die Holzzufuhreinrichtung und das gefederte Einzugsband zum V-förmigen Spaltmesser gebracht. Dort wird das Holz im 3-Sekunden-Rhythmus mehrfach gespalten.
Ergänzt wird die Maschine durch zwei Verpackungsoptionen (geschichtet oder lose im Netzsack).

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

kindling
Easily ignited material, such as dry sticks of wood, used to start a fire. Also called regionally fat pine, fatwood; Also called lightwood.
REGIONAL NOTE In the southern United States, there are several regional terms for kindling. Lightwood, derived from the verb light (as in to light a fire), probably originated in Virginia and is now used throughout the South and especially in the South Atlantic states. Fatwood is used chiefly in Florida and Georgia. Fat pine also refers to the longleaf pine, native to the Gulf states, whose resin makes even a small sliver of the wood easily kindled.
