How to Burn Firewood With Moss Growing on It

Scrape or pull the dried moss off of the wood and collect in a small container or pile.

Place two pieces of fire wood next to each other, roughly 6 to 8 inches apart. Ideal fire wood for these starter pieces should be four to 6 inches in diameter and 1 to 2 feet long.

Place the dried moss between the two logs in a pile at what will be the epicenter of your fire.

Lay small (the smallest and driest you can find) twigs across the two base wood pieces, over the moss.

Cover the first layer of small, dry twigs with another layer of slightly larger twigs. Lay the second layer at a 90-degree angle to the first. Leave room between the twigs for air to penetrate and reach the layer of moss below. If the twigs (and wood pieces of any other size) have moss on them that you no longer need for kindling, simply throw them on the fire, moss and all.

Light the moss on fire with a lighter or match.

Add larger pieces of wood to the fire once the twig layers are burning steadily.
