You won’t believe what Sparky did when he found this Cheeto!

Everybody knows that Cheetos burn.  I had a cold firebox and cold wood, and 2 gallons of Costco Cheetos that my sausage beagle wouldn’t even eat. 

I used four Cheetos.  To start a fire, keep the heat contained so a little piece of wood gets hot enough to burn, then that ignites a bigger piece.

The Cheetos burn really well.

A minute later, I tightened up the wood.

A minute later, I added a piece of scrap wood and a small log on top.

A minute later, and the fire is going.

So, three minutes after lighting the Costco Cheetos, there’s a fire.  Pack a few more logs in there, and let it go.
