grum I don’t buy newspapers and I’m not going hunting for free papers just to burn them
No hunting required. There’s loads of ’em about. If you find it too difficult to ‘hunt’ for them then you must really struggle ‘hunting’ down firelighters too. 😉
I’m more terrified by the 6 or 7 paragraph and you tube guides above complete with wood measurements an types listed, it’s just a fire hardly that complicated.
Yeah I was a bit baffled by that too. I think ‘use dry wood’ is the only thing you need to know really.
Also the term Man Skill is very sexist and I’m very offended
I meant man as in mankind obviously!
It’s a fire ffs just use a firelighter and a bit of dry wood.
No one looks at their gas hob and says:
“No, I’m going to use an artisanal match made from hickory struck on a hand crafted piece of 200 grit sand (not glass!) paper”
they just press the button and let the technology work for them.
Well… we use our ash on the compost pile, and firelighters usually contain kerosene and a urea/formaldehyde resin which doesn’t sound like great stuff to grow your veggies with.
