Not the wife's original idea but a very useful idea. We spend a lot of time outdoors camping, hiking ect...
Over the summer the wife read in one of the outdoor publications we get about making fire starters with wine corks soaked in 90% rubbing alcohol. We went on a camping vacation back in August and packed away and pasta sauce glass jar filled with wine corks bathed in alcohol to start our campfires. It worked great!! We have now brought this idea indoors and use it as our method of starting the wood stove with great success.
Best part is keeping the cork supply abundant
I hope this is useful info for the forum.
