[QUOTE="MillIronQH, post: 307886, member: 4658"] I started making my own firestarters a couple of years ago. I used to take one of those store bought fire logs and cut chunks off it to start an fire. Go to your friendly nieghborhood cabinet shop and pick up a five gallon bucket full of sawdust and shavings. Melt a couple of pounds of parafin on the stove in a big pot and mix the sawdust with it till you can't mix anymore. put those paper cupcake wrappers or what ever they're called in a couple of muffin tins and scoop in the wax and sawdust mix. Let them set up and then do it again until the mix is used up. When you want to build a fire stick one or two under the wood and light the paper. They'll burn long enough to start even green wood burning. And you don't have to fuss with the fire to get it started. Works for campfires, pits or in the heating stove. BTW..... You might want to do this while the wife is at the beauty parlor. Some of them are kind of touchy about their pots and muffin tins.Z [/QUOTE]
