I was milling around some ingenious redneck ideas that me and the huntin' camp guys have come up with over the years....from our backyard still to many many other things, and I remembered my one buddy who died from cancer last summer....I was at camp in the fall of the year when he was sick and he had been tinkering around to keep busy, anyway he showed me an pretty good idea....he had gathered up all of the old unuseable candles that his wife had laying around, melted them in an old saucepan (careful not to get the flame near the wax), got an old muffin pan and put in paper muffin cups.....he then went out to the wood-splitting area of camp, gathered up as many chips and splinters as he could put in a bucket, took them and broke them into little pieces.....put a one inch depth of those broken wood chips in each muffin cup, and then poured the hot wax in each cup just to near the top of the chips (so some of the wood was still sticking out of the wax).....let cool and "voalla".....all the firestarters you will need for a given season....you can break or cut them in half to double the order.....just thought I would share this as I myself will be making a batch here very soon.....
