Fire Starters
Easy fire starting
Sawdust, egg cartons and wax make excellent fire starters. I use an old frying pan and do this on the grill outside. Some of the candles have scents that are pretty strong that you might not want in the kitchen.
While egg cartons make for nice storage containers for small things, sawdust works well for soaking up garage spills and to patch holes in wood, like the kind carpenter bees make so I always keep some on hand. Old candles can be used on shovels to prevent sticking, on wood to prevent stains, can be melted down to make new candles or used in wax warmers.
While I just used sawdust in this batch, I have used sawdust and lint from the dryer too. I saved the candle wicks, maybe I will make candles with these next time.
What do you think?
