Sawdust fire starters

I always get asked if there is a good use for sawdust. This is one of the things I use it for and it seems to work really well.

You might try a coffee percolator to melt your wax. I've used one for years. Has a spout, very easy to use. Just remove the insides of the percolator, lid isn't needed either.

Thank for the idea. Normally have a lot of wood pellets left over after the season.

I use spent candles and dryer lint into empty egg crates 😊

Loved the recycling aspect of this video and a great idea.

You can also use your candles that no longer burn in the jars. Take a knife and cut into small pieces and melt or pour on your shaving, dust what ever. You can also melt the candle in a double boiler, pan of water with towel bin bottom , pour in water and heat on open fire or house. Then just pour into whatever .

Great idea. I'll give making the firestarters a try. And the roast looks delicious!

Cool video. Love the shop.

Can you comment on the burn time from different size roll containers. Lengths, wood types etc. Good idea. I do the cosmetic cotton pads dipped in wax. Great for Bug out bags and the like because they are small and flat. Easily stored. I get roughly 6 minutes burn time with a 10 inch tall flame. Thanks

Great idea

I don't have saw dust, but I have an abundant supply of shredded documents on hand.

What are your thoughts on mixing the wax and sawdust before filling the tubes or molds? I see a lot of people doing that

[@Opapaskateboarding]

Great video!!!! Any specific wax

[@brentfrank7012]

Luv it

If I use these in a chiminea what happens to the wax. Takes a while for wax to burn off in a candle so does it just collect in the bottom?

Hi. Great video. I found you because a video of mine has been watched by loads of people after watching this one of yours 👍 Analytics and Algorithms 👍

[@scottboeckling7986]

I’ve read that burning wax in a wood burner is a no no…..is that true?

[@GregNice1906]

I take a toilet paper roll... Stuff it with lint from the dryer... Burn it outside only.. Works well but doesn't burn as long as your fire starters... Well done sir

[@daniellands6984]

Try paraffin wax

Just an aside.... for someone that claims to be a wood worker and doesn't know the difference between wood shavings and SAWDUST.. c'mon man. There is zero sawdust used in this video. Also, Gulf Wax works well and is available in Walmart and most supermarkets/hardware stores and is cheap. Now go change the title, lol.
