firelighters

6 Posts

having seen a post were using vacuum fluff as a firelighter reminded me of the way my mothers taught me. i still use this method for every fire i start, though not a coal fire which this method was used on. quite simply take two sheets of newspaper roll diagonally into a long tube, then tie it into a knot (like the first part of tying your shoe laces), this leaves you with an oval shape about 150mm long. take accouple of scrunched newspaper sheets with 3 or 4 of these on top and away you go

I light the fire with loo roll tubes, drier fluff and when all else fails, I cotton wool ball with a bit of acetone
