    Bought 10 lbs of wax from Hobby Lobby today. It was nice getting 40% off the regular price. Made it less than half of what wax bought by the one lb box cost. I should have enough wax for my firestarters for years.

    AD5AFEDB-D238-4582-B744-B3EF7665E008.jpeg Sawdust from cutting kd scraps for kindling. We eat a couple dozen eggs a week. Wax from candle butts. Free fire starters.

    This is more than I’ll use in a season. Some will be given at Christmas to my wood burning people.
