campfire

Not sure if this is the area to ask but how do y'all start yer campfires. I use alot of newspapers and twigs. Sometimes it takes awhile. Thanks.

  • I start with crumpled up newspaper, maybe 3 sheets. then I create a tee-pee of real fine dry kindling. Then light it. I will add a bit bigger, and bigger DRY pieces as it gets going.
  • I use one cardboard egg carton and some kindling. I lay the carton in the fire pit upside down and stack the kindling on top and light the egg carton. It will usually start right up. JMO
