Tip of the Day: Wrap PJCB in Foil for Better Portability

Petroleum jelly coated cotton balls are a great low-cost fire starter, but they are greasy and messy. One way to alleviate that is to wrap each PJCB in aluminium foil - this wrapper will protect the cotton balls and also prevent them from smearing greasy petroleum jelly all over the place. They also have an added benefit of helping you to control the burn of the PCJB; open only a small part of the wrapper for a smaller burn, if you plan to re-use the PCJB for another fire.
