Often seen these made by others, been planning on making them for ages.
Ingredients:
Card egg box
Tumble drier lint
Candle wax
Saw dust/twigs/shavings
Sacrificial pan - empty bean tin used
Simply put melt the wax (I used a bean tin in a pan of boiling water) and pour it over the lint placed in the egg box, let it solidify and then cut into individual fire lighters.
I added some small shaved twigs and wood chip for extra fuel, seen sawdust added and will try for the next batch.
Lit easily, seemed pretty wind resistant and burned for about ten minutes
Not sure if it is a factor of the wax (mostly my wife’s left over scented candles) but it did burn with an oily black smoke so I’ll use them in the burner and bbq.
