I've always thought I'd use the paste for fire starting. It's just a medium to hold the oil. I use dry sawdust and oil atm but drying sawdust is inconvenient for me.

If you leave sawdust and oil mix in the burner for long enough you may save on matches🤣

Ash gets conifer sap off your hands btw.

 

Mix it with the sap and make epoxy for setting your arrowheads 👍

 

It's good soap, mixed with fat. I use ours for scouring and degreasing the baking tray and frying pans. Pour ashes in, a bit of water to make a slurry, and leave it outside for a few days. The ash and fat combine to make a soap like chemical, which is easily washed out into the long grass.

It won't surprise anyone who has seen my efforts on the cooking thread to discover that I don't wash my baking trays or frying pans. Good tip anyway though.

Alkali and oil makes soap I think - lye from wood ashes is quite akaline 9thats the inner geek in me knowing this stuff)
