This article is about the firemaking material. For the dating app, see Tinder (app). For other uses, see Tinder (disambiguation).
Tinder is easily combustible material used to start a fire. Tinder is a finely divided, open material which will begin to glow under a shower of sparks. Air is gently wafted over the glowing tinder until it bursts into flame. The flaming tinder is used to ignite kindling, which in turn is used to ignite the bulk material, to produce a fire.[1][2]
Tinder can be made of any flammable substance, as long as it is finely divided and has an open structure.
