- Building a fire fast is important when it is cold outside! These simple & cheap homemade fire starters are quick and easy to make. We saw some other videos of homesteaders making these & just had to try it for ourselves. Thanks for watching!
Those are great! I've tried 'em before.... but I still resort to my tried and true pine shavings, like from a planer or jointer or you can buy a bale of shavings at Tractor Supply or other hardware store, mixed well with some drainage oil. Take a 5 gallon pickle pail.. put about 3/4 full of shavings... about a cup or so of oil and mix well. Ready for use! Next day they will be even better and won't leave any residue on your hands when handling. Half a handful will start a fire real quick along with some kindling.
That is a good idea! Thanks for watching!
Just stop by the farm store and get a bale of Pine Shavings used for pet bedding. Works great for a fire starter. Light enough to light with a lighter but heavy enough to burn long enough to start the main wood.
That's great! Thanks for sharing!
loved the idea of the fire starters. I hope they are something I can experiment with in the future. We used to have a wood stove but no longer. Just cooking outside they would be beneficial. Great lesson.
Thank you for watching! They would work for outside also
Fire starters are always great to have around. I was going to make some for our stove, but decided against it because we have a catalyst in it. Lol I don't want to do anything to mess that thing up.
I don't blame you there. Got to do what is right for you! You probably done need to start many fires Lol you can probably keep one going night and day to stay warm up there!
Yes! I use the dryer lint too. Will have to try this out tho! I love a good fire!
Yes give it a try! We will have a fire building video out soon using them. I really enjoy the wood stove, but I was about to roast standing right in front of it haha
@ I bet! Wood stoves are awesome but definitely hot! I can’t wait to watch the next video!
Seems like a good use for all those candles they have at places like salvation army. Sometimes you can get a big damaged one for 50c
That is a good idea!
Hello Brook and Colton. I have seen several fire starters made by a lot of Alaskans. They all seem to work well. Anything to get a fast fire going on a cold winter day or night. Love the wood stove!💚
That is right! Thank you
Standing right up beside it I was about to roast Lol
