Fire starting candles - what are they called.

I had a box of these candles that you place under the wood you are trying to get started burning for a fire. Campfires, fireplaces etc. They look like tea lights but the entire thing burns up even the wax and the wax paper covering. They make a very hot flame unlike some of the other fire starting products and last about 10 minutes or so. Anyone know what these things are called? Hexamine? Used to cook with them in the forces. -- Liverpool. European City Of Culture 2008 http://www.liverpool08.com |

Dunno, but I googled and found this site that tells you all this stuff to use. It's sort of interesting. http://www.campfiredude.com/fire-starters.shtml on the last Survivor TV episode,Yau-man used his glasses with a drop of water on a lens as a magnifier to start a fire on their first day. He lit coconut fiber for a starter. -- Jim Yanik jyanik at kua.net |
