Willy Pete Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 I'm bored and figured I'd post what is (in essence) a free way to make a decent firestarter. What you do is simple: collect dryer lint and use it to fill toilet paper rolls. It'll take a good few loads of laundry, but I've got a bunch of these things under my desk at home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odizzido Posted May 16, 2020 Share Posted May 16, 2020 Have you tried one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willy Pete Posted May 17, 2020 Author Share Posted May 17, 2020 @odizzidoHaven't had a chance to yet, I live in a hot and dry climate so starting fires for fun isn't ideal. I have tried using just dryer lint before and it seemed to burn pretty slow. I might just light one on cement just to see how it burns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odizzido Posted May 17, 2020 Share Posted May 17, 2020 Cool, let me know I am curious. I mean I guess I could always try it myself, though it would be a bunch of burning hair(four dogs) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilsonaka Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 It would work even better if you mixed the lint with a bit of petroleum jelly. Not that this by itself wouldn't work. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
