DIY Lint Log Fire Starter
To properly build a fire, you need to have tinder (easy-lighting material), kindling (finger-size sticks that will catch fire quickly) and fuel (logs that will sustain the fire). The good news is that most people have a readily available supply of tinder right in their own homes: dryer lint! To make fire starters, stuff empty toilet paper tubes with dryer lint. Dryer lint “logs” will light quickly and easily burn long enough to light up the kindling, and you won’t have to resort to lighter fluid!
DIY Wine Cork Fire Starters
Fill a mason jar with wine corks and rubbing alcohol, and let the corks soak. The corks will burn pretty well in a couple days, but you should let them soak for a week for the best results. Be sure the corks are natural, not synthetic.
