Fire Starters  CAUTION: When melting paraffin wax , always use a
double boiler or a can set in a pan of hot water. NEVER melt wax
over direct heat since it can burst into flames very easily.

Melted paraffin wax and cardboard egg cartons and dryer lint
make some of the best fire starters you ever saw! Stuff a bit of
dryer lint (highly flammable, by the way) into each egg holder
and add some paraffin - don't fill them to the top, about 2/3
full is good, but half way will do fine too! Let them cool, or
put them in the freezer. Then when they are set, use a serrated
bladed knife and 'saw' them into individual fire starters. The
wet won't hurt them, they aren't toxic, won't hurt the
environment, you are reusing old things and they WORK!!!
