Some wire wool and a 9v battery will get a fire going nicely. Wasn't it you a while back who suggested using oil soaked rags to start a fire? Probably works well but a bit environmentally unfriendly... No, I think you need to check your facts.

So it wasn't you then, my apologies. I thought, in the absence of paper and kindling, that was quite a good idea. I expect many of us have a bit of used engine oil hanging around.

Do you mean a fire that doesn't include some kind of fabricated fuel burning appliance such as a solid fuel stove? Thank you I was thinking that seeing as most of us live on a boat, we wouldn't want to light an open fire inside it. ;-)

I don't know but someone ticked the box so it must be possible.

Until he does, I'm not touching it with a barge poll It's either misspelt or another bad pun, but a barge pole is probably too heavy for kindling. but in typing my reply, spellcheck 'corrected' my pole to poll. Good job I read my posts before clicking.
