In this video we're making and comparing three kinds of char rope:
* hand-braided strips of burlap (jute)
* cotton-ish rope (We don't think it's 100% cotton.)
* hand-braided strips of 100% cotton denim (from jeans)
The charing time in the fire was about 8 minutes.
The Results - From Most Successful to Least
(The back of a knife down a ferro rod was used to make the sparks onto the char ropes.)
#1 - The braided, 100% cotton denim char rope takes a spark the easiest. The braiding causes the denim to keep a coal the best when compared to denim char cloth (that isn't braided).
#2 - The braided burlap took a spark easily also. It comes in a very close second to the cotton denim.
#3 - The charing process verifies that the cotton-ish rope, well, it isn't cotton. The white rope charred into a shrunken, crumbly, hard mass. It would not ignite with a spark. There were a few times that a little spark glow would land on the charred material then it would go out in just a couple of seconds.
