Definition
Dead wood, especially from pine trees, that has become impregnated with resin and is used as kindling because it burns easily.
Etymology
From 'fat' (in the sense of oily or full of resin) plus 'wood', describing wood that is 'fat' or rich with combustible resin.
Kelly Says
Fatwood was historically invaluable for starting fires—resin-rich pine heartwood would smolder and catch flame reliably in damp conditions, making it the 'premium fuel' of colonial America.
