Corn chips

by Terry
(United States)

For fire starters you can use corn chips. Also, steel wool works good: 000-0000 size. For wet weather I use small pieces cut from an old bicycle inner tube. I put a piece or two on the lower half of a zippo lighter which helps the lighter to become slip proof in your pocket.

The vegetable oil in the chips burns, while the corn chip acts as a wick.
