I make a similar fire starter using egg cartons. I use sawdust and old used candles. So all my materials are free. The difference is, I mix the sawdust into the wax over heat until I get the desired amount mixed in. This way the wax penetrates the wood. Then I spoon it into the egg carton and give it a slight pack down. Right now I have so many cartons, candles, and sawdust, I need to make more. LOL
Oooh, I love the idea of getting was at Goodwill! I'm one of many that just uses drier long but up until now I've been buying paraffin. I know what I'm loading up on the next time we're at a thrift store! Thanks you😊
They can be custom to whatever you desire. I can generally light these with a match or lighter no problem. In the past I’ve made them with some dry dryer lint on top to ignite with just a striker. These are a ton easier to light that the dense wood fiber type though. Thanks for tuning in!
Haven't tried it yet because it's summer here. No need for fire. I wonder if sawdust would work? I get it for nothing at work. Along with my free firewood.

We just purchased our first camper and needed fire starters on our first weekend out. This is a great idea! Thanks!
Enjoy that camper!
I don't know if I'll ever use this, but I'm glad I know about it.
Serrated knife might be a great , safer, tool for separation. Nice video.
Love it!!!
Video is 🔥🔥🔥
Should the carton have had brown or white eggs in it?
I add magnesium shavings and road flare dust…… guaranteed to burn HOT and not get blown out in rain or wind……
It was a pretty "pour" job....
I'll see myself out.
Lol, thanks for the laugh!
well, what you do with wax on the bottom of your grill? you have to scrape it, right?
How difficult were those to ignite? Would a wick have helped? Would adding a few match heads to each have helped?

I use dryer lint

Sawdust could work, might make the fire starter more dense bit experimentation is part of the fun!
@@samvore2963 Looks like I got some experimenting to do. Gotta wait until the weather isn't so hot.
Would it be safe to use as a starter in bbq?
As safe as lighter fluid if not safer.
