Somewhat puzzled at Derek saying that his shavings don't burn that well.
Mine incorporate lots of air because of the way I turn, allowing me to use
them as fire starters.

The shavings burn fine. Its the smaller chips that are more of a
problem. I tend to seperate and save the long shavings for fire
lighting, and shovel the chips on in small doses so as not to dampen the
flames too much.
