    Campfire-in-a-Carton

    Campifre-in-a-Carton

    I learned a trick from a park ranger at Fall Creek Falls State Park in Tennessee; he taught me how to make homemade fire-starters. You’ll need lint from a clothes dryer; a cardboard egg carton; and a taper candle. Place a little of the clothes-dryer lint into each of the egg-carton compartments. Light the candle and carefully drip the wax on top of the lint in each compartment to seal the components. Now you have fire-starters at a bargain price. To use, simply cut the individual egg sections apart and store them in your RV. When you’re ready for a campfire, place a section under the kindling and light a corner of your homemade fire-starter. Soon you’ll be talking of the day’s adventures by the warmth of a crackling fire.

      I am a Scentsy consultant. When I change my fragrance wax, weekly, I save the wax in a plastic bag. It's fantastic for starting and it is safe! No torch for me. A match will do. When we go RV'ing we have Scentsy plug-ins in our RV, so we have a continuous supply without shopping! Kathy Bogenberger

      I have been making these for years and they work great. I've even been able to make a fire with soggy, wet wood in a pinch at the cabin because they keep a flame that is just hot enough to get the wood going.
