Pine cones as fire starters

I've got a wood burning fireplace insert that I've used for years. Very
recently I saw a thread here that included the suggestion of making pine
cone fire starters.
My lot has several pine trees so pine cones are quite plentiful.
Grabbed a few dried pine cones and tested them as a fire starter.
Worked fine.
Any real difference between using them and the so called "fat wood" fire
starters sold commercially?
They do have some pitch, but that should not be a problem when used as
starters. I often used cardboard.
