S_T -- I made some of your lint/wax/egg carton fire starters and used them this year.  Thanks for the tip.  They worked fantastic, and like you said, were great during cold, wet periods like I had in June.  

I'll be making more this winter.  One question: what do you use to melt the wax?  I found that the wax temp has to be just so...too hot and it melts right through the lint and the egg carton.  Too cool and it want really absorb at all or set up.  Any hints on the wax part of the deal?
