Cotton Ball With Ashes Fire Starter - No Match Needed

[Boss Hoss]

Or maybe eat all the Fritos. The resulting "natural gas" is useful for creating fire….

Just light the bag. Reading this thread, we have a lot of "city folks" here lol.

So I opened a new bottle of vitamins and the cotton filler is a nice long piece. Looks perfect to test out theory. Problem is pouring rain and my outside fireplace ash is saturated. So trying to get some ash from woodstove buddy.

Please note I said ASH!

Film the test. I haven't tried it myself. Just start a fire to dry the ashes out. I know a trick.

Absolutely! Epic failures always better on video!!!

Here's a thought, would this work with smokeless powder instead of ashes? What burn rate?

Remember…all the oil in Fritos burns well. I have also heard Cheetos do as well, but I eat them too quickly.

Try some coffee creamer. Burns really well when dry.

I would try something near Bullseye, H1000 is too slow. You would be rubbing forever.

Id try one of the vihtivouri magnum powders, all I have read on here lately says they're too hot and torch every rifle throat in 50 rounds
