How To Make Homemade Pinecone Fire Starters 

We are in our late sixties and early seventies. We have planted tens of thousands of various pines on our property. All and any cones open up. It just takes time. They have to open up for the seed to come out. It's simply God's ways for replenishing the forests.

Gave my married kids a firepit for Christmas and included a basket of these DIY fire starters. I enjoyed the project and they turned out great !!! Thank you for the video !!!

My neighbor constantly asks for my newspaper for his starter. This would make a nice gift basket.

The pine cones were presented so beautifully at the end. Great video, thank you.

Thanks that’s so easy and I have always wanted to know how to make them. I can’t wait to get started

I have been using Pine Cones as weed suppressants in my between my Herbs and also. spray painted some of them silver to hang on an outside Christmas Tree. Now, I see another use. I'd use Jute String on mine though, it takes a light very nicely. Thank you for sharing,

Thanks for making the video....its just what I needed. Straight forward and simple. Great job!

This is the one! Thanks so much for demonstrating the best homemade firestarters

Best fire starter video I’ve seen. Thanks.

Thank you for this good idea/info to make these firestarters.

I would never burn these , they are so pretty Here where I live we have only regular spruce and pine with smaller and less pretty cones

Very nice. I like the simplicity of your project.

This looks like a very doable project for our senior church members to do. Could you add a bit of flitter to the cones after the final dipping?

Can't wait to give this a try!

thank you, fantastic idea.

Is there in any odour when they burn? and what if any residue does it leave in the fire/chimney/flue?

Good little niche project. Thanks!

Lightly dipped in old candles burnt. They burn for a good line time no string need over kill

Thank you ,this is perfect.

So cute! Thank you!

Have you ever added fragrance?

What kind of wax did you use?

love this

Interesting video. Great Thanksgiving or Christmas gift idea.

Great idea! Can we use it just like a candle or only Firestarter?

Can I use these to start charcoal for my grill!

Cool!

What is the benefit of adding the wax?

What? No demo?

So nice job. Are you just starting the channel and creating do it yourself stuff on video? Aren't you afraid you will not have enough things to talk about? It seems it would be a limited amount of information just in firewood. Great to have you here and showing us creative and inventive stuff on firewood. Oh I'm making the fire wood rack today. Got my materials. Left you a message about raising the rails off the ground...Let me know what you think.

Firewood isn't free... Or basically nothing. I have some pinecones.

Is that a calphalon pot? Surely you have a shittier pot lying around.
