An alternative to firelighters?

[Robbyrasta]

As the title says- are there any sort of products that are the same sort of size but might burn longer?

Or have people found different makes that burner better than other brands?

 

Is firelighters gel a contender?

 

Ps not for lighting a log fire, so wet wood isn't the issue....

Doritos the crisps or a bog roll holder stuffed with lint from the tumble dryer work well. So does the box my beer comes in but my wife doesn't understand that is why i buy so much

Bog roll middle stuffed with the red wax off dutch cheese . Bit of dry bark on top .

Wil try both ideas- would the red wax off a baby bell work?

Presuming you've got some form of kindling ready - cotton wool with petroleum jelly rubbed into it or a 100mm strip of rubber. I cut my old windscreen wiper rubbers into just such lengths, (and also have a ready supply of the aforementioned prepped cotton wool) for lighting my 'Woodgas' stove.

I find a few pages of tabloid newspaper, not exceeding 10 or 12, crumpled up and placed in the middle of the grate surrounded by selected random split conifer, after lighting place a knarley splintery lump on top.

With a good pulling flue.

And one door held ajar by the latch.

Woila!

No firelighters needed.
