they are now drying out on the radiator ...

NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO! If they're directly on the radiator they're likely to leave large black marks ~ best to let them dry out unforced.

And now, with a bit of a more measured tone ~ good catch

Well done chap ! once you start finding them you cant stop. I was out on Wednesday with two friends on the MOD ranges walking. I used three in my kelly kettle (pre dried at home) base as most of the tinder i had to gather was wet. They do a great job in helping to maintain the heat and have a almost drying effect on the damp tinder. Cheers MB

you can also use them as a fire extender/s when using fire bow drills. cut them in a few slices and let them dry at will or in the summer months. cheers the interceptor boy.

Don't leave them too long as the mites will turn them to dust
