Not really wasting too much, just a preferred way of starting.

^^^ I agree. I’ve always found it very easy to use a chimney of lump, or even briquettes, to start my woodburner. I find it a- helps begin to warm the heatsink formed by all that metal, b- lays down an initial coal bed before any wood is fully burned, and c- works great for lighting the splits very evenly.
Just my pov. . . .
