    Crumpling things tends with your hands to result in said things becoming ball shaped. What shape do you recommend I crumple paper into?

    When I’m building a fire I crumple the newspaper into a ball because it increase the surface area and density of the fuel, so it will burn longer and hopefully catch the wood on fire

        I’m just using it to start a fire, so the efficiency isn’t really important. What I need is a couple minutes of hot flame that will light other things on fire.

    You have been deceived. People always crumple paper into a flat disc shape. All evidence showing ball-shaped paper must have been fabricated.
