Even a 3000°C ferrocerium spark can't set a whole log on fire at once. It burns itself out rapidly, while the log may only be warmed a bit. You have to build up the fire from tinder to kindling to small logs before whole logs will burn.

I guess you can just pour lighter fluid on the whole thing too and it will ignite fast, but in my experience all you get is a massive display of flames and fire at first, yet no guarantee that the big logs will stay lit after the liquid fuel is exhausted
