@dogbone222 Lets say your lost in the woods and your lighter is out of gas but it can still make sparks. With charcloth you can use the sparks to make a fire.
@lebohusla In the video it was a mangesium fire starter. If you want something just to make sparks like that you can get a flint. I prefer the magnesium fire starter because it makes really hot bright burning magnesium.
I used a can of Sterno with a home-made grill to hold the Altoid box over the fire. It was kinda windy, so I sat a med size terra cotta pot (flower pot) over the whole set up. I propped the bottom of the pot on my set of pliers so air could draft up inside. The hole in top of the pot acted as a chimney, and the heat stayed in better. You were right, wait til all the smoke stops coming out of the tin. I could tell by the lack of odor. Anyway, great vid, my first try at char cloth was perfect.
You can make it with any fire, stove etc. If you dont have a stove just go outside make a fire and put the tin in. Or just go to walmart and buy a can of Sterno for $1. Sterno is a gel in a can that burns for a long time.
yes it can work just i good i have tired it but it burns fast have you burned cotton balls before it is like that only it does not burn as fast as cotton

1 does it matter what size the hole is that u punch and 2 does it do any harm of you pack it in or should you leave it loosly packed in it ?

@olipitt12 It shouldnt matter about the holes. I would leave it loosely packed in.

Would dryer lent be as good, with no prep needed? Mabey lint would burn to fast. Have you tried it? I have not.
rebelyellshooter 3 years ago
Do you mean making charcloth with lint or just sparking it? I think the lint would burn faster than charcloth... Sorry Ive never really tried it.
ArmyRanger10 3 years ago
yes it can work just i good i have tired it but it burns fast have you burned cotton balls before it is like that only it does not burn as fast as cotton

you you dry just 100% cotton clothes in your dryer it will work. If you dry clothes with synthetic thread they will melt the lint into into a blob.
make the vent hole a lil smaller than shown here... Low oxygen is the key to charcloth otherwise you get good ole fire.

how long did u have to wait to make that into char cloth
slingninja82 3 years ago
In this video it took about 12 minutes to cook that. I didnt cook it long enough so do it a little longer depending on how much cotton you put in.
