    These make great fire starters. All you need is a mason jar some Cork's and 91%rubbing alcohol let them soak for a couple days and your good to go. Each cork burns for 2-3 minutes.[​IMG]

    Yeah I started on a jar last year, big one. Just to make sure they are corks and not the plastic foam substitutes. These days I use fat wood but these would really do well if in a windy area!

    Sometimes I get tricked by the blue or nearly invisible flame!

    If you wanted to, you could put some zippo lighter fluid in there, think that might help with slowing down the flame a little?
