Now is the Time to MOO Tea Bag Firelighters
We save all our tea bags.
Cut all the string and tag off them and dry out in a dish by the fire (or over a heater vent or near a heater, or in a sunny windowsill). Then put them into an empty peach (or other fruit) can. Pour a little kerosene over them, enough for them to soak up. I then put the can full of tea bags soaked in kero into a plastic shopping bag, then into a container with a secure lid.
This is what we use instead of buying firelighters, that we always used to run out of. Continue drying out your tea bags and place the next dry lot under the existing kero soaked ones. I use small tongs to pick up the ones I use for lighting the fire. It becomes so easy when you have done it a few times.
