Old school Boy Scouts of America , learned this as a boy . Works like a charm . As long as you have a flame .. lol . Never a prob with a scout ! Thanks for teaching this basic starter .

Worked like a charm, Thank you. I, too am a woodworker and sawdust has ended up in landfill, now I can divert some of it to this outstanding bbq briquet Starter!!

OUTSTANDING VIDEO! EASY TO FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS! REALLY APPRECIATE THIS SIMPLE METHOD :)

Great vid, so simple and to the point. Love the pipe. Now to get making.

Thank you for sharing, I'm so excited to try this

You are a great teacher and you are a good inventor. Appreciate the good work

wow. so glad a lot of you liked this video. I will say many of you are correct about my shop practices. i get too confident around my equipment and wasn't showing good safety form. a couple years back i actually had an accident on a planer and was actually using a push stick but a fluke accident caused me to lose the ends of two fingers. not long after i blew out some tendons in my wrist. that lead to the closing of my wood shop. it's now my art studio. you can see that stuff on Instagram (White_Beard_Painter). thanks you for all the responses and so sorry for not getting back on the sawdust requests.

Wish you were closer. I make firelogs out of recycled paper that I give to people who can't afford wood. Here in North Texas we don't have too long of a cold winter but what I make I give away.

Mmm, oatmeal cookie dough. Great video, thank you for sharing.

Great tip . Got lots of candles to melt down too.

Merci beaucoup , I love this vidéo, so simple, if I was near your place, be sure I will go and get some sawdust.

Great video, thanks for sharing.

Awesome, great video! Thank you. Just found your channel...Subscribed and turned on notifications!

Great Idea. Thanks for sharing..

Love the pipe!

If i may, try using a cat food can, fill with rubbing alcohol, set in the middle of stove. Your kindlin will light. Its just to easy. Also works great to warm up a cold chimney. No smoke.

Good job my friend Enjoyed your video.

Amazing video!

Grand Idea John. Got more sawdust than anything else anymore. but lumber is so expensive to buy from any distributor. The little one man saw mills are making a killing alright, but they have such overhead, unless its a family business. Men are wanting over a hundred fifty a day to timber for them. Lots of money, but gracious...!! what a dangerous job also. Keep up the good work My Friend.

great idea

push stick finger saver, doesn't bleed if you slip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for sharing with me the great job and i wanna ask you if i can use them in my wood stove in my cold workshop 👍🤣

Bonne vidéo et bonne idée avec la sciure et la sire pour faire des allume feu

Kinda bulky but a great idea. The sawdust from the bricks could be saved loose and used

Does mixing candle wax and sawdust smoke? Candle wax and polystyrene resin, which one is better in making firestarter as a binder. Thanks

I see this video is pretty old but if you still do youtube and sawdust is still available I would love to get enough from you to make some fire bricks for my bug out bag. thanks for video and thanks for sharing great video great info God bless

Does the wax leave any residue in the stove?

Learned this in girl scouts. Glad it is being passed along!

thank you.. finally a straight to it video lol

Will the wax/sawdust bricks leave a wax residue in the fireplace?

i like the idea because i have lots of wax from candles i've melted down and i'm making deck railings out of the old deck's joists so i have TONS of sawdust (literally generate a 50 gallon drum in two days) but this fancypants woodstove i bought with the catastrophic converter doesn't like wax, plastic or paint in it. might use them in my double barrel woodstove in my shop though. now that i'm retired, looking for little sources of income, so maybe i'll make these and sell them at the local markets. even if i can get a few bucks for a dozen, it's little effort, and free materials. maybe put some fancy 'stank' in it like pine tree or cinnamon.

You are so awsome

Will there be a wax residue after they burn?

Use an old crockpot. Melt the wax add the fiber then put in your form. You can use cardboard egg cartons also for individual nuggets. Need wax? Put the word out to your local Boy Scouts. Give them fire starters in trade for the wax.

Great video Very thorough How can I get sawdust from you? Thank you

Hey I'm in NC and looking for saw dust.

What happens if we add potassium permanganate to the wax and then impregnate the saw dust with the wax with potassium permanganate ?.

Would love to have some of the sawdust if you are serious about it.

Then bake at 200F for 30 minutes. Chill for 30 minutes. Remove from baking dish and serve.

I like your style good sir, and I'd happily take some of that saw dust off your hands.

I need sawdust !!

Please describe properly which products mixed saw dust as a binder tightly.

I could use some sawdust. How much is shipping?

Can you use sawdust from green lumber or does it have to be dry kilned?

make emergency fire logs with sawdust an paper too

Sir, how would I be able to get sawdust from you, what quantities, and what would charge? Joe

How much for a bag of saw dust?

John, do you still have an excess of saw dust? How can I go about getting some from you? I am in Jacksonville Florida.

Can I substitute the wax with soluble cooking fat?

Does it fill the bottom of your stove with melted wax after you burn lots of them?

Rather use used take-out coffee cups as containers. The ones made from paper.

Wouldnt the wax stickTo the firePlace

Yes

If you happen to have a saw mill close by they would probably give you sawdust just to get rid of it.

Not good for chimneys tho?

What is this liquid

I love this idea!!! I'm a first time viewer and I have a couple of questions. How much are you selling your sawdust for? Do you ship to Arizona? Thanks for this awesome idea and keep up the good work!!!

I need some saw dust

What do you call that of ur smoking device

WHAT IS THE POINT OF HAVING A RED ACCESS PIECE NEAR THE BLADE? As an industrial amputee, I have the expert badge for knowing your days are numbered if you just showed us your common practice.

I need sawdust

popsicle stick are what i us

If you’re tired of having those fingers attached to your hand, just keep doing what you’re doing with that bench saw. Have a look at Jaimie Perkins left hand on the Perkins Brothers YT site after his run in with his planer. Better yet sell that bench saw or learn how to put a tourniquet on one handed while you’re bleeding out. Sorry to be so savage but mate, you’re an accident waiting to happen.

Can you send me some sawdust?

Why put paraffin in sawdust, instead of sawdust in paraffin? Easier not? Good luck!!

friend tells me I should NOT use in a wood stove in the home because of the wax. What's your comment?
