Only fires I light are the BBQ.

I use old wood from garden pruning or DIY offcuts to build a fire, light it using my hot air paint stripper (takes 2 or 3 minutes and is free with PV on summer days of course). I let the fire burn down to embers and then cook as normal. Works a treat, no chemicals and no carbon footprint. Haven't bought charcoal for 25 years :beer:

doritos or leftover prawn crackers are cheaper ;-)


Burn either and then think about what they do to your insides!


Using home made firelighters at the minute, old non recyclable paper/cardboard/tape soaked in rainwater for weeks, mixed with leftover sawdust from power tools/saws etc then put through a brick press. Leave to dry naturally for weeks in airflow then cut up into small pieces and use as firelighters. When dry you can coat them in leftover/used cooking oil etc if you want.
