Break it down into usable/manageable pieces put it of some tin foil and leave it the oven for a few minutes....depending on how wet is is.

How did you get on with your fir steel by the way??

Sorry....just read that again ......do the same as you would making Char Cloth.....put some small pieces in a tin and place it in the embers of a fire you will end up with some nice charcoal
