Good suggestion, thanks for being concise I'll give it a try, 8 minutes is a good long time.

Thanks for sharing. I've never seen this type before. Definitely the cheapest and simplest one

Yup, easy to make. Possibly just a little messy.

We made some when I was a kid with egg carton bottoms, wax, and sawdust. You could cut each egg holder out for an individual fire starter. I believe we used paraffin wax which you used to be able to find at any hobby store. Anything that burns and is soaked in wax will work!
