I build a "teepee" and then throw in copious amounts of paper. Light the paper and it gets hot quick, with lots of flame and the wood starts nice and quick too. I also don't use thick wood when I build the teepee. Only when the flame goes do I begin to throw on thicker logs.

While I haven't tried it, I must say that I like Jayem's approach.

I once saw a guy try to kindle the fire by pouring gas onto it, right from a full can of gas. Everybody froze as they watched him do it, certain that he was going to blow up the can he was holding. Fortunately it was uneventful.
