[TheForge] 65 Ton Pickle ;-) - fire starter

[Scott Lane]

>As Fred Caylor taught me -- get some newspaper - like 6..8 sheets (more if 
>it's a green coal fire, less if there is abundant coke). Lay the sheets at 
>angles to one another but all centered on the same spot. Place your fist 
>at the center and start gathering the paper up around your fist.

         Easier and quicker: take 3 sheets of newspaper.  Ball two of the 
sheets into about fist sized balls and place on the third sheet.  Roll the 
two balls up in the third, while kind of folding the sides over as you 
go.  You want a little tail left at the bottom.  Place this in you pot and 
bank as described above.
