Re: DIY firestarters
Poke a small hole in the top for the combustion gases to escape while burning. Once the smoke from the hole becomes clear, the charring is complete. Remove from the heat and immediately stick a toothpick into the hole to seal it off and prevent oxygen from entering the tin, allowing combustion to continue. You want this to essentially be charcoal and good charcoal is created in a mostly oxygen free atmosphere.
I prefer old, ripped demin. Makes a stout char cloth. Store it in an air tight container or it will absorb moisture from the air and won't take or hold a spark as well.Sed ego sum homo indomitus

Wood burner in the barn gets used infrequently.
I recycle cardboard into heat, along with wood.
Birthday cake candles work great for getting a little flame going
Last longer than a match, dont burn fingers like the disposable lighters.
