I use the egg cartons and dryer lint with wax. However, I recently made a big batch of them and ran out of the lint. So as I was cleaning up I was using a paper towel and an idea hit. I dug in the trash bin and pulled out all of the used paper towels and found that half-a-towel fills one egg cup. So I made a dozen more starters.

I haven't used sawdust as I have no supply of it. Sad

And the wife still thinks of me as crazy. Cheesy

Best, Duncan

Wow, thats neat. Often thought there should be some use for all that lint from the dryer.

Derek

it does well in a compost pile too. Wink

for fire starting i use natural stuff i find laying about. the best are sassafras sticks and birch bark. both will burn v. hot even when green and in a downpour.

Hey guys

Great tips. Have any of you used these for starting heat beads in a chimney? Do they burn long enough? Let us know.

Greetings Robbo,

Yep, I use mine all the time to start my heat beads. By the time the starter has turned to ash, the heat beads are lit and ready. They also work good in the fireplace. No small bits of wood required, just two big logs and the fire is lit in 10 minutes. Cool

Thats good to know and a great use for the old lint, what about the teabag firelighters, anyone?
