- Fill the egg carton/cupcake liners with cedar bedding
- Optionally also layer in bits of dryer lint (it’s an easy burn to get these going).>
- Melt the wax in the pan
- Be aware, the longer you leave the melted wax in the pan/on the stove, the hotter it gets – it sort of boiled when I poured it in the next step
- Get it melted and then work it right away
- Pour some wax over the cedar bedding
- You basically need just enough to hold the firestarter together
- You’re not making a candle- don’t get nutty with the amount of wax you use (like I did!)
- After cooling, cut into pieces
- Put it outside/in the fridge to cool
- I used my grill and just set it inside until it cooled down overnight
- A bread knife worked great for cutting, the wife wasn’t pleased about the residue left on it
