Fire Starter, home made wax pads

I saw these online somewhere and learned to make my own. They really make fire starting easy.

Go to the makeup department of your local grocery and pick up a pack of cotton round pads. I get mine at Safeway.

I have whats left of 5lbs of wax I used to use to clean and wax my bicycle chains. It is in an old pressure cooker. On low I melt the wax and then dip the pads leaving one edge clean.

The clean edge is where you light the starter.

I finished off my pack of pads.

Then I put them in a container which goes in my "kitchen" box.

Just put 1 of these under your kindling and light the edge.

Fires right up and you'll be warm or cookin in no time
