A loose fill allows for better airflow when lit. <\/p>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-3-melt-the-wax\"><strong>Step 3: Melt the Wax<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Heat old candles, tea lights, or wax until melted. We recommend using a double boiler for this. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Place a heat-safe container filled with your wax inside a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/pots\/\">pot<\/a> of water. Heat the water on low to medium heat, allowing the wax to melt slowly. Never heat wax directly on the stove, and always keep an eye on it as it melts. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"998\" src=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/fire-starters-6-1024x998.jpg\" alt=\"pouring candle wax in egg carton\" class=\"wp-image-41062\" style=\"width:399px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-4-pour-the-wax\"><strong>Step 4: Pour the Wax<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Carefully pour the melted wax over the dryer lint in each egg cup. It should seep into the open spaces and hold the lint together. This helps the lint catch fire and burn longer. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"836\" src=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/fire-starters-7-1024x836.jpg\" alt=\"cutting fire starters into pieces\" class=\"wp-image-41063\" style=\"width:439px;height:auto\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"step-5-cool-and-cut\"><strong>Step 5: Cool and Cut<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n<p>Allow the wax to cool and harden completely.

All you have to do is take an empty toilet paper roll and loosely stuff it with dryer lint. That&#8217;s it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you want to keep things tidy, you can pinch and fold the ends of the roll. You can also wrap it in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/parchment-paper\/\">parchment paper<\/a>, and twist the ends for easy storage.<\/p>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"tips-for-using-your-fire-starters\"><strong>Tips for Using Your Fire Starters<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Position Properly: <\/strong>Place your fire starter underneath small twigs, wood chips, or kindling to give the fire enough fuel to grow. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Use Safely: <\/strong>Only use fire starters in designated areas like fire pits or fireplaces. Never use them in enclosed spaces without proper ventilation. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Store Properly: <\/strong>Keep your fire starters in a cool, dry place. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/food-storage-bags\/\">Plastic baggies<\/a> work great during camping trips. <\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Multiple Uses: <\/strong>These fire starters don&#8217;t just have to be for camping. You can also use them in your backyard fire pit or even indoors in a fireplace.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>There&#8217;s nothing quite like the satisfaction of lighting a fire with something you made yourself. These homemade fire starters only require a little bit of time and a few household materials, and they&#8217;ll make your next camping experience smoother and more enjoyable.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"bb-carousel bb-category-carousel\" data-cy=\"bb-category-carousel\">\n\t\t<div class=\"container\">\n\t\t\t<h2 class=\"section-title\">Shop Camping Supplies<\/h2>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"carousel-controls\">\n\t\t\t\t<button class=\"carousel-button carousel-prev\" data-cy=\"carousel-prev\" disabled aria-label=\"Previous\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"icon icon-arrow-back\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t\t<button class=\"carousel-button carousel-next\" data-cy=\"carousel-next\" aria-label=\"Next\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<i class=\"icon icon-arrow-forward\"><\/i>\n\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"carousel-container bb-category-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"bb-category-list carousel-track\" data-cy=\"blains-carousel-carousel\" role=\"list\"><div class=\"carousel-item\" role=\"listitem\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"bb-category\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/camping-gear\/\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"bb-category-image\" src=\"\/\/objects.blains.com\/taxonomy\/300\/060201\/20231207123152.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/camping-gear\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"bb-category-title\">Camping Gear<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/camping-gear\/\" class=\"bb-category-link\">Shop Now<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"carousel-item\" role=\"listitem\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"bb-category\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/tents-shelters\/\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"bb-category-image\" src=\"\/\/objects.blains.com\/taxonomy\/300\/060202\/20250513145539.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/tents-shelters\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"bb-category-title\">Tents &#038; Shelters<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/tents-shelters\/\" class=\"bb-category-link\">Shop Now<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"carousel-item\" role=\"listitem\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"bb-category\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/camping-beds\/\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"bb-category-image\" src=\"\/\/objects.blains.com\/taxonomy\/300\/060204\/20231110080223.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/camping-beds\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"bb-category-title\">Camping Beds<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/camping-beds\/\" class=\"bb-category-link\">Shop Now<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"carousel-item\" role=\"listitem\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"bb-category\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/hiking-gear\/\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"bb-category-image\" src=\"\/\/objects.blains.com\/taxonomy\/300\/060205\/20250612153102.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/hiking-gear\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"bb-category-title\">Hiking Gear<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/hiking-gear\/\" class=\"bb-category-link\">Shop Now<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div><div class=\"carousel-item\" role=\"listitem\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"bb-category\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/camp-kitchen\/\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"bb-category-image\" src=\"\/\/objects.blains.com\/taxonomy\/300\/060206\/20231110075708.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/camp-kitchen\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"bb-category-title\">Camp Kitchen<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/camp-kitchen\/\" class=\"bb-category-link\">Shop Now<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\n<p class=\"has-light-blue-background-color has-background\">For more how-to guides like this one, check out our other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.farmandfleet.com\/blog\/tag\/camping\/\"><strong>Camping articles<\/strong><\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Learn how to make DIY fire starters using just a few simple materials.
