DIY mom: Make you own fire starter - by @altacbotha
I am not sure about other countries, but in South Africa we are famous for our braai (BBQ).Many of us do it at least 2 - 3 times a week. It can be costly to buy fire starters, especially if you have to use a lot when the wood is still wet. I want to share a solution that I use and works like a bomb.
Step 1:
Use old or new cooking oil and your egg holders. (I normally use the old cooking oil)
Step 2:
Pour a little oil in the holes just enough to just wet the surface
Step 3:
Pack the wood on top of your holder and light
Enjoy your fire!
You can also use other paper-based materials that will absorb the oil. I sometimes use cardboard box with paper cloth - but the egg boxes work the best!
nice tricks buddy. Love you
Thanks!
It works like a charm... P.S. if your wood is wet, you can add a spoon of sugar as well. The theory is that the sugar makes your DIY firelighter burn even hotter.
Thanks, I am definitely going to try it.
Lol this is actually very clever. One more way to speed up starting a fire. Upvote for originality!
Have a good day - @tonac :)
Thanks
Hehe this one is funny i'd call it a life hack, also a good way to get rid of egg holders they always take way to much space in the trashcan!
Yes, I agree and used cooking oil.
excelente truco, de muy buena ayuda a la hora de realizar una parrilla, que la mayoría de las veces se torna un poco dificultoso encender.
Gracias. Estoy totalmente de acuerdo.
That's a pretty cool trick. I will definitely be using this technique. My wife and I are planning a trip to South Africa in the next 2 years. I hear it is beautiful there.
Thanks. It is beautiful country with the most amazing weather. Cape Town, Pilanesberg and Kruger National park are the most popular locations to visit. Enjoy!
wow this is amazing i dot stay in south Africa but am so borrowing this concept
Thanks
