I saw someone else doing something similar, but she folded the top corners of the individual egg cups over and tied a string around them instead of adding a wick. I suppose if you did that, it would help to wax the string. Her way was more fiddly. I think I’ll have a go at these.

I’ve been saving toilet paper tubes, and stuffing them with more tubes and dryer lint with the plan of making fuel with them too. Have you ever tried that?

In Girl Scouts back in the 60s, we saved tuna cans, rolled corrugated cardboard into them as tightly as possible and poured wax over the cardboard, leaving some sticking out above the wax to light it. We could use them to start a big fire, or like Sterno to cook on.

In reply to Heather. I am a huge fan of craft projects that recycle too, Heather! Glad you enjoyed reading this and learned something new in the process.

I love a craft project that recycles! I would have never thought to use dried pasta at the bottom either. My brother loves the outdoors and has been looking for cheaper ways to spend outside on a budget. Definitely passing this along!

I have been making these for a while now and LOVE how much easier they make everything when we’re at the campsite. I got lucky, a local cafe had ordered a mass load of eggs with the big commercial egg trays which are the same material but no lid, just a ton of the egg cups and it was PERFECT for making these lol This reminds me, I need to make some more before I head out camping late September – lots of campfires during fall camping trips!

This is really some great information. I’ve never even thought to use it this way. I’m going to try the pasta noodle idea later, and see how flammable it is. I actually love this. I’ve been keeping out dryer lint since my husband recently made a firepit in the backyard. He was reading up on materials to use that are easily flammable, and that was top on the list. Thank you for sharing this DIY easy egg carton fire starter.
