I want to say thanks to all who have contributed. I've pulled many things over the years from this and similar threads.
Setting for this last weekend's "first time out of the season" I used the kleenex boxes for plastic bag storage (confused my wife, as I neglected to tell her about that).
Also installed a small bungee and metal hook fastened to the exterior door to hold it up out of my way when trying to light or manage the refer. Much nicer.
At our cub scout meeting a couple of weeks back, I had the boys make their own firestarters out of dryer lint and Gulf wax. We go the mini muffin paper cups, stuffed lint in them, stuck a piece of natural twine out of them (read, wick) and poured melted wax on them. I'm happy to report that they worked beautifully this weekend. My son had a sense of contributing when I let him light his own starter for the family to enjoy a nice campfire and round of smore-making. Of course, he's a boy, so anything with fire...well, you know.
