Pine Cone Fire Starters - Things to do with our raw pinecones

 
Raw Pinecones from our property
 
I will be offering Pine Cone firestarters at my table during a couple craft shows this season. Maybe on my etsy site depending on demand. For the 2012 holiday season I will be at the Orleans County craft show Albion, NY 4-H fairgrounds Nov 10th and Candy Cane Lane Craft Show in Newfane, NY Dec 7th.
 
 
The following is INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE of your firestarters handmade by me from cured pinecones taken from our property here at KeepEmGoing.


Place your fire starter in your fire pit, woodstove, campfire, or fireplace. This is a FIRE STARTER, it is flammable and not to be used as a candle. Surround it with kindling.
 
Next light the pine cone. NOT the paper.
 
The pine cone will burn for a while. The salts may emit a white flame.
While the fire starter is burning, add kindling to the front of it.
ALL DONE!
