Making fires during winter in the fireplace or during summer out in the yard is so relaxing and a great way to hang out with friends and family; but, starting a fire can be such a chore. Try this great hack for starting a fire easily by using this Recycled DIY Fire Starter. By simply using the dryer lint that you usually throw away and a bit of used cooking oil, you can have an easy fire starter that really works. Lint burns so easily, and the cooking oil will keep it going long enough to light your wood. Check out this tutorial to make your own lint fire starters.
