A few of my friends have asked on Facebook-'How do you make your Fire Starters....So here you all go!
This is super easy!
1) save all your 'lint' from your dryer
2) save your cardboard egg containers
3) save some wax (the bottoms of candles, Scentsy or other wax that you throw away normaly
4) save a can (coffee, beans, you get the picture
5) save any sawdust from a home project (not as important as the above, so don't worry)

Now, take a Cookie Sheet place you egg carton on it open, fill with your lint, (you can also use the sawdust, leaves, I use paper from the paper shredder too)

Now place all your wax in the can, fill a pot with about 4inches of water, place can in the water (it a simple double boiler, and you not ruining ours)...and wait for it to melt. once melted completely, simply pour over our carton...make sure you get as much of your lint and stuff waxy...and yes it will soak though(that's why it's on a cookie sheet)
Once it is dry...tear each 'egg' and you have a starter!
Happy burning!
