How do YOU start your campfire?

Campfires are old fashioned and dangerous and undesirable (by me). Isn't that the reason for RVs which have a furnace, a stove and micro-convection oven? In any case, you can see how I light MY campfire.....:B

Local bee keeper sells honey comb caps as fire starters. Just a bit of kindling and one 4" sq sheet an craving fire is in short order.

Kindling, torn up paper and matches...works every time :B

sawdust soaked with used paint thinner.

That would be kinda noisy at 6 in the morning!

Method for burning a yard fire. Pour a few gsllons of used motor oil onto the pile at least a week before intended burn. On burning day add a couple more gallons of old motor oil plus whatever else flammable is in the garage like that mixture of mineral spirits, acetone, laquer thinners anything else that went into that trash plastic gallon container. Follow that with just a little dash of gas (it is $10 gal around here) & a match.

Watch in satisfaction at a fire well primed.

Lately I've been cheating and using the propane torch, but we do carry a tinder box. It's a dollar-store plastic shoebox container with some cedar scraps (from a pergola I built) and paper from the shredder.

A wad of shredded paper on the bottom, split the cedar up into cigar-sized pieces, then larger cedar pieces on top followed by wood. Lights every time.

I cut a Duraflame log into 1/2" slices and then quarter the slices (sometimes just 1/2 slices). If the starters are not available I'l use a kindling stack into a teepee. One works just as well as the other.

A Bed of Pine Cones is like gas stack lumber on top, we campout in Florida and Georgia.. pine trees are plentyful

Keep your leftover dryer lint in a bag it works great for fire starting
