Make Your Own Fire Starters

My husband found this idea of making your own fire starters, and we love them. They create a slow, intense burn that helps light the rest of your stuff on fire. And they are super easy to make with things you can save from around your house!


Supplies:

Old wax
Paper egg carton
Dryer lint

Instructions:
  • Fill all the holes with old dryer lint.
  • Optional- my husband has put used matches down in some to use as a "wick" 
  • Melt down wax. We use old candles and put the jars on the stove in a pot of water.
  • Pour the wax over the dryer lint until the lint is pretty saturated. Not really a right or wrong amount here.
  • Tear apart the egg carton and you are done!
  • Place where you would like to start a fire and light. Use responsibly :)





I have heard that these are good for use in a charcoal grill. You don't get the taste of lighter fluid that way.
