Traditional, odd & funny alternatives to firewood: need

[CaligaeTravelFiles]

Isn't there much firewood in your country or in any of the world spot you have visited? What are traditional, odd & funny alternatives to it?

I am preparing an e-book about how different world nations traditionally substituted firewood for any odd local alternatives in case of its shortage or absence. If you wish to be part of it, suggest me one!

Here are a couple of examples I have already picked up: in the woodless steppes of Kazakhstan they traditionally used dried cow dung providently piled for harsh winter times. In the southern Spanish province of Valencia which is famous for its oranges, they burnt dried orange peels. Many other Mediterranean countries that produced olive oil used to warm themselves putting mashed olive stones into their stoves.
