Comparing Three DIY Fire Starter Variations

How do three of the most popular versions of DIY fire staters made with cotton pads and wax compare for weigh, burn time, intensity, ease of lighting, and melting in storage?

Regardless of content, the length of time these three units burned related pretty directly to the starting weight. Also, regardless of content, even the very oily ones, all the units can be sealed and have the same exterior with a quick dip in pure paraffin as the last step in creating them.

I pack saw dust and chips into egg crates and cover with hot wax. I'd like to see those comparisons... Corse dust, from a planer or such.

Ill keep that in mind. Thanks for the suggestion.

well the Vaseline one if you know your going to have to use stuff that's slightly damp cause of the burn time could get it going

It might be interesting to test that. Thanks.
