Don't forget about coal which is: 13) very energy/weight effecient, renewable in all the mines (less so for transition caves and stream banks), burns extremely hot (useful for interloper, where wind chill is more relevant).

Coal requires another fuel source to start the fire, but a single stick can suffice (and isn't destroyed, if the fire fails like tinder is). The only real disadvantage of coal is requires a light source to find, but searching a mine every few days with a torch, lantern (oil is renewable), or a flashlight during an aurora is not too difficult.
