Edible firelighters.

[GuestD]

Sorry if you all know this, I did have a look on the forum search, but didn't turn anything up.

Other brands are available.

If you know this, good. If you don't, select a decent sized crisp, and set it on fire with a match, and see for yourself how long it burns. Boiled a few brews in my time staring my Kelly Kettle with a crisp.

Pringles are even better - dripping fat as they burn!

Prawn crackers too

Prawn crackers too

You live and learn, amazing

Doritos are good too! Get a large bag and you've got enough firelighters for a year!

Walkers, Pringles, Prawn crackers, Doritos... Hang on says I, if I have all that lot with me why don't I just stuff myself and forget the fire to cook me dinner on !!!!!

Because you can't get a heat off a bag of crisps, unless you set fire to it.

PRINGLES, the pyromaniacs favourite snack !

Eat the lot while laid in your sleeping bag..... no need for a fire. Ok you will also have to learn to like chewing your tea bags.....

Think I'll give that one a miss.

Or you can fill yourself up and then you'll burn even better for the rest of us to stay warm! next winter Moot!

By the way, that last post was a joke, just in case anyone actually believes that we condone burning people and using them to keep the rest of us warm in the winter, let me reassure anyone that's unsure that we would not do this or support anyone else doing so...

You can actually smoke tea leaves, if that's your want

You have to cover yourself all ways in the current social media climate!

Now our sons ' plans for setting us adrift on ice floes when we become a useless burden have been frustrated by global warming, your suggestion may give them another idea especially as fuel costs are rising. Invitations for next Christmas will be treated with suspicion if we have a cold winter.

Eat the crisps burn the plastic, God what's wrong with you people!

Bicycle tyres are more toxic, and give off more heat.

Yeah right. This is Tony welcoming everyone to the Moot. Yours is Room 1, First Floor

on topic, Brazil nuts, walnuts and Macadamia nuts all burn well. A Brazil can be used as a candle by carving to a point.

There are all sorts of tips about using food in various ways, which don't appear in recipe books.
If you have trouble getting up in the morning early for work, take a little Brewers Yeast and a teaspoonful of Kiwi Boot Polish. Mix them together and spread on a cream cracker and eat it, just before you go to bed...


Tastes really foul but it makes you rise and shine...

Possibly earlier than usual.
