Dryer Lint

[oldpink]

As CindyE mentioned, putting it in egg cartons with candle wax dribbled over it with a match stick in the middle to act as a lighter and wick, works really well for a fire starter.
It also makes songbirds really happy if you leave it outside for them to gather together to line their nests.

I just dig it out from my bellybutton when needed.

When your ol' lady clears the dryer trap and finds a dead tick in the lint..........you have started a hell of a fire (turkey season years ago).

I've actually never thought about this until now. Thanks for the idea!

The birds get ours. Wife puts it out at nesting time.

That's very thoughtful.

Stuff works great with a flint and steel.

Form it into a cone shape to catch the sparks. This is how we start our firepit, we have bags of it.

This. MUCH easier.

I just put cotton balls in a ziplock along with a dollop of vaseline. I spend about 5 minutes massaging it into the cotton balls. To create a firestarter, remove one cotton ball, rip it apart so there are cotton fibers sticking up and hit it with a firestarter. Fires right up and burns pretty hot for a minute or two.

Thats exactly what we do too and it works great!
