I am not not one to make fire starters or buy them far to cheap to buy . most of my fires start with junk mail.
but I grabbed some boxes at the grocery store to pack my groceries in , wife sent me the last few weeks and I take my truck and 12 bags of groceries are just a pain , I can slide the card board boxes in and out much easier and 4 boxes and I am done.
Dole Celery Boxes have been available and are a good size sturdy and are waxed . cut into strips really do make for nice fire starting better than standard cardboard strips.
just be careful not to use too much it gets hot.
it also cuts very easy the wax seems to lubricate the knife cutting through the card board.
well thats about all the more exciting my wood burning season has been the wood has been dry. the burning easy and generally uneventful.
cut and brought home 2 trailer loads of wood , big multi trunked maple that the power company took down below the wires first trailer load was all wood they left lay. the second was most of the rest of the tree. I have a few logs left to finish that tree.
everything I have brought home is split and stacked in the shed already
one or two more trailer loads will probably do for next year with what I already have put up.
some kindling and some strips of waxed cardboard . light and done , fire.
