Maybe it's time to make sure you have a few candles and some firewood/
coal in. Bring the barbeque into the living room.....? |

We've got loads of firewood, but I was really struggling to light the fire last night as I had to scrabble around the shed for something vaguely useful to start the thing off. And I had no newspaper, and A4 printer paper isn't that good. Oops! Michael |

One of my friends takes the fluff out of the tumble dryer's filter and stuffs it into empty toilet roll tubes to make little fire-starting 'logs'. Works incredibly well. |

I bet he didn't learn that from Ray Mears. Never seen a tumble dryer on the tundra... Well that's obviously because they're nocturnal and experts at camouflage... I suppose it's a good way of making something out of what might be readily available around the house (well, with a bit of planning, anyway). Me, I just save all the small offcuts from the workshop in a couple of 5 gallon buckets and use those. The lady who used to own our house meanwhile seemed to source her kindling from a local sawmill - there was a good stack of strips with two cut sides and bark on the remainder in the basement when we moved in (the house had a monstrous wood-burning furnace, although it's no longer in use) cheers Jules |
