Making Firestarters

I wanted to share how I make firestarters. In this post I will create two different types of firestarters. The first one I cover is a hockey puck style that works, but is definitely NOT my favorite. Let’s dive into the video after we cover the list of items needed. This is a very cheap project as the first two items on the list can be purchased at Goodwill for one Lincoln ($5).

  • A large candle, preferably UNSCENTED.
  • A pot to melt the wax in.
  • A mold such as a jar lid or egg crate
  • Material: sawdust, lint, tiny stick pieces, etc

Below is my favorite camping firestarter method. It is long lasting and comes in single use sizes.
