Speial Business Opportunity for Dale Thompson & Carl Eyman

[Carl Eyman]

(Others may take advantage as they see fit) I just returned from the grocery store and saw they were offering "fire starter sticks" being pieces of wood about 3/8" x 3/4" in cross section and 8" long. No smooth surfaces were necessary, no finish applied. The price $4.99 for 3 lbs. Dale, from what you keep saying in your posts these ought to be a piece of cake for either of us. Now let's talk about my commission.

I have actually been trying to get my local grocery store to buy these kits from me. I generate enough small stock that I could get rid of my scrap with it :) Alas, they have a supplier and don't want another... :(

[Michael Gabbay]

Actually you could offer cherry, maple, walnut scented ones and call them designer and charge $15.95 for a small bundle. I'm sure I could sell them around Washington, DC. :D

Otoh, my wife likes the fragrant little bundles that I bring up stairs from time to time. If I ever get a lathe, I'll find a more practical use for them.

Ahh yes I forgot about when I took a bunch of cedar for the campfire, it was great!

Jeff, Don't forget that camping season is just around the corner.;) I've got a stash of cedar scraps already started. Maple is a nice burn as well!

[Jeff Sudmeier]

I guess I really need to start working with more cedar! I don't have any laying around...

Do you know the christmas lights in the fire trick? Take old xmas lights that don't work and throw them in 4 foot chunks and they burn in pretty colors. It is due to the copper wiring, not the light bulbs.

Plus, from the buzz you get from the plastic you save money on beer! :cool:

Yeah I know I probably made the ozone hole 0.000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 000000000001% bigger, but the pretty colors were worth it! (They create no smoke :))
