When your bike gets a flat, keep it and cut it into strips. It’s probably the most toxic fire starter on the list but it’s still effective. I’ll spray bug repellent or squeeze some hand sanitizer on it as well, just to get things going. It’s highly flammable and burns for a good chunk of time. Yes, one more thing you can do with Duct Tape. And once the fire is going, it's snack time. Pringles Hot and Spicy, Doritos Spicy Nachos and Fritos Corn Chips are my choice. The greasier the better when choosing which snacking chip will burn the best. Remember, it may look like a doobie-but definitely doesn’t get you high. QuickFire will never expire or lose flammability Completely odorless, which is. Waxed paper burns fantastic on its own but you can also wrap-up dryer lint or sawdust on paper, twisting both ends of the paper to hold the contents. Light the carton-you might want to squeeze hand sanitizer or bug repellent on it first to help get it going. Place a chunk of charcoal in each section of cardboard egg carton.

Some companies are now making alcohol-free sanitizer and that won’t work. Make sure the product you are using, however, contains alcohol. Squeeze a good supply of hand sanitizer on the wood and it will burn long enough to dry things out. If you’re on trip and you don’t have cotton balls or petroleum jelly but you do have Q-tips and lip balm, try those together. I’ve even dipped them in paraffin wax or even melted petroleum jelly and stored them in my pack in a Ziploc bag. They're lightweight and when petroleum jelly is worked into the ball, it becomes highly flammable. Cotton Balls & Petroleum JellyĬotton balls are my favourite. Also, try dipping in rolled up newspaper tied with string (don’t use nylon string) or pine cones into the wax to make fire starters.

At The Genie Stove, we know that lighting fires can often be a messy and frustrating task thanks to unreliable and chemical-smelling starter fuels. The Burner Firestarter is the latest and safest way to light your Genie, fireplace, wood burner, wood-fired oven or barbeque. Sawdust, shredded paper or even cut-up pieces of egg carton top work well as filler. Burner Fire Starters (100) SKU BURNERFIRESTARTERS100 Category Shop. If you don’t want to spend the money on paraffin then simply gather all the half-burned candles in the house (or go to a bargain store). Melted wax makes a real mess to clean up. And you might want to use an old coffee can rather than a cooking pot to melt the wax in. The simmering water will melt the wax at a much slower and safer rate. To slow down the melting rate, and reduce the chance of combustion, make a double burner by having the pot with the wax in it above another pot of water. Wax or paraffin wax is highly flammable so don’t just throw a cube of it in a pot and heat up up over the stove burner. The main trick, however, is to melt the wax without burning the house down or ruining your good cooking pot.

It’s an easy project and brings back days of making crafts in public school. The classic homemade fire starter is a wad of dryer lint placed in each empty storage department of a cardboard egg carton with melted wax, or better yet, melted paraffin wax poured over top.
