Well, firelighters that are free if you prepare them while cooking a stew.
Somebody told us the other day that lemon and lime skins when dried out slowly make good firelighters. Sounds odd, but when you think of how hard a lime forgotten in the fruit bowl goes, it makes a bit more sense. We tried it, and it works a treat. One fewer thing to compost, but free firelighters seems like a good enough trade off.
I have to remember two things here - one not to throw the juiced halves in the compost bin; two to put them in the oven when a stew is being cooked. Not too hard, and they smell better than those white petroleum-wax things too.
