I had read on the internet somewhere ages ago, about saving your toilet and kitchen roll inner tubes for making mini fire 'logs'.
Each tube is thickly packed with shredded paper until no more can fit into it, then used as mini logs on the fire:
They burned fine. Not as long as a small log but longer than kindling. Not all councils allow shredded paper in the bins so if you are in one of those areas, and have a fire, give it a try.
That's a really good idea. There's not many councils or recycling places that can take shredded paper and on it's own it burns quite strangely. I used to do something similar and pour in some melted tealight dregs. They make good firelighters.
ReplyDeleteI did think about that but these burned well.
DeleteThat's an interesting one. Clever too. xx
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteGreat idea and I am going to get some ready for our fire pit season in the spring, summer and fall. Thanks for sharing.
