Thanks to the internet, I found this little gem of an idea…it works great!firestarter

Save all your drier lint, used candles, and paper egg cartons (trust me, this will make sense).  Stuff each egg compartment with lint.  Melt and pour the used candle wax into each compartment, soaking the lint and paper container.  Once dried overnight, cut into 12 individual fire-starters.

The wax keeps it water-resistant and keeps it slow-burn, the carton provides airflow, and the lint is the tinder.  Place it under a pile of sticks and light a match.  Take all precautions when melting/pouring wax… it can be very messy.
