The quick growth stuff the paper companies around here have been planting for the last few 50 or so years wont ever make much of a pine knot.  It just rots.  Banjo
Never explain, your friends don't need it, and your enemies won't believe you any way.

Look for old stumps.  Bust away the rotten outside, and the fat liter will be in the middle and down into the ground.

Old dry cedar cut between the branches about 10" long.

 In my part of the country,Tennessee, I find that pine,cedar, sassafras, and sycamore start fires pretty good.Sassafras and dried sycamore burn like they have gasoline injected into them. I try to avoid cutting up a lot of this wood, I prefer shag bark and pignut hickory, white oak and red oak for my woodpiles.

Fresh sawn, even heartwood, has too much moisture.  I only use the "good stuff" which is fat pine from old stumps.
