Firestarter from egg carton

This is a simple way to build some fire starter bricketts.

Next time you buy eggs, look for cartons made out of cardboard. Get the eggs home, take them out of the carton, put them in the fridge.

Take the cardboard egg carton and where the eggs used to be, put a brickett of self lighting charcoal in those spots and cover with melted wax.  Cut the egg carton apart.   When you are ready to build your fire, put the egg carton in the grill or fireplace and lite the carton.

Keep two or three of these stored in your shed. As long as the cardboard and the charcoal stays dry, it will be good to go.
