RECYCLING
FIRE LOGS
How many of us have a bbq, chiminea, wood burners, open fires etc and need something to get the fires started? Outside, we can use commercial bought bbq fuel lighters or fluid, which can be expensive. So why not make the starters yourself out of items that are already in the house?
Fire logs are made out of cardboard tubes, paper and address labels.
The cardboard tubes are the inserts from toilet rolls and kitchen rolls. The pieces of paper used to stuff the tubes comes from the cut up pieces from leaflets, envelopes, etc, which are cut up on a daily basis and kept in the sweet tin.

Tape an address label over one end of the tube (managed to find a pack of 1000 address labels in a sale for 10 pence).
Stuff the tube with the pieces of paper as solid as possible. Once full, another address label is placed on the end to seal everything in.
It only takes a few minutes of time, cost less than a penny to make and a lot cheaper than using the starter fuels.
