    Explanation:

    Kindling can lead to higher temperature in shorter time than Large sticks or logs. In Kindling the surface area per unit mass is greater hence, heat transfer is quicker so, in less time it reaches its ignition temperature

    Whereas in a log of wood heat is not as concentrated as in kindling as it conducts to a greater mass and hence, they are slower to reach the ignition temperature.
