Gave my married kids a firepit for Christmas and included a basket of these DIY fire starters. I enjoyed the project and they turned out great !!! Thank you for the video !!!
That is awesome!
We are in our late sixties and early seventies. We have planted tens of thousands of various pines on our property. All and any cones open up. It just takes time. They have to open up for the seed to come out. It's simply God's ways for replenishing the forests.
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks that’s so easy and I have always wanted to know how to make them. I can’t wait to get started
Have fun!
My neighbor constantly asks for my newspaper for his starter. This would make a nice gift basket.
I think your neighbor would love it!
This is the one! Thanks so much for demonstrating the best homemade firestarters
You’re welcome! I’m happy you liked it.
The pine cones were presented so beautifully at the end. Great video, thank you.
Glad you like them!
Thanks for making the video....its just what I needed. Straight forward and simple. Great job!

You’re welcome. I’m happy you liked it!!!
Can't wait to give this a try!
Hope you enjoy!
Yeah my neighbor asked me to get some pine cones because my yard has a lot of pine cones and his guy thought I was raking them up to be nice and don't be waking that up without getting money from her but then she I thought it was for a crap for her grandkids and she said they were fire starters for the wood burner stuff hell I'm 40 years old and I just now found out
Thank you ,this is perfect.
You’re welcome. I’m happy to help!
love this
Thank you!
Very nice. I like the simplicity of your project.
Thank you!
I have been using Pine Cones as weed suppressants in my between my Herbs and also. spray painted some of them silver to hang on an outside Christmas Tree. Now, I see another use. I'd use Jute String on mine though, it takes a light very nicely. Thank you for sharing,
Great idea using Jute instead of the regular string. When I tie on the decorative tags I use Jute for the rustic appearance, but I never considered how well it burned. Thanks for the suggestion!
Cool!
Thank you!
I would never burn these , they are so pretty
Here where I live we have only regular spruce and pine with smaller and less pretty cones
Interesting video. Great Thanksgiving or Christmas gift idea.
Yes they make great gift ideas, especially for people who love handmade crafts.
This looks like a very doable project for our senior church members to do. Could you add a bit of flitter to the cones after the final dipping?
I’ve never tried it but I don’t see why you couldn’t. Sounds like a great idea to me.
Lightly dipped in old candles burnt. They burn for a good line time no string need over kill
Is there in any odour when they burn? and what if any residue does it leave in the fire/chimney/flue?
I've never noticed an odor when they burn. If anything I'd say it's similar to a candle. The paraffin wax is clean burning so I don't have any issues with a residue buildup. The residue they leave behind is a small puddle of wax on the bottom of your fireplace/wood stove as they burn but that goes away as they burn up.
Can I use these to start charcoal for my grill!
It would depend on what type of wax you used. If you're using an old candle with added scents and coloring, I don't think I would cook over it. However, if you're using wax with no additives it would be fine.
Great idea! Can we use it just like a candle or only Firestarter?
Pinecone fire starters are used to start fires in fire pits/fire places and are not intended to be used as a candle.
Thanks! I only recommend using it as a fire starter.
What kind of wax did you use?
I believe they were old candles in the video but I’ve also used paraffin wax with a wax dye for color.
Have you ever added fragrance?
I have not, but I've used old scented candles which works really well.
What is the benefit of adding the wax?
Easier to light and they burn longer as opposed to a normal pinecone.
What? No demo?
So nice job. Are you just starting the channel and creating do it yourself stuff on video? Aren't you afraid you will not have enough things to talk about? It seems it would be a limited amount of information just in firewood. Great to have you here and showing us creative and inventive stuff on firewood. Oh I'm making the fire wood rack today. Got my materials. Left you a message about raising the rails off the ground...Let me know what you think.
Firewood isn't free... Or basically nothing. I have some pinecones.
Is that a calphalon pot? Surely you have a shittier pot lying around.
Haha yes I believe it is! It’s just my designated project pot after food started sticking in it.
