Hey, this is a great instructable and is very informative. Just one thing is missing... pictures! It really helps a lot when trying to follow directions so you should consider taking some photographs. Once you do that and leave me a message when you have so that we can publish your work. Thanks! Thanks for the cool instructable and we hope to publish this soon!

For those who are curious, peanuts are very oily and burn well. Crushing them will probably add to their effectiveness. I never considered using charcoal or briquets in my firestarters before, I Think that's a great way to extend the burn time.

This may ban me from the site but I take exception to you grammar puffs. This person is trying to provide a valid project here that is quite functional and all you can do is dump on his grammar.
Next time you go to a place where yours is not the basic one, I hope some one dumps in your face and see how you feel.
Been there and done that and when some one rips you, not for your effort, but instead because you don't talk/spell/write their way it not only embarrasses you but makes it so much more likely that you won't venture there again.

A good tip, but, unless English is your second language, it is almost unreadable. Please get someone fluent and literate to proofread your work. Thanks.

Well said, my good sir. If one is going to make an Instructable for the general public, could the writer at least make it enjoyable to read. Even Instructables.com has a spell check.... If you go look at the Instructables that get featured, they all have one thing in common: they are enjoyable to read.

At first I wasn't sure whether they meant 1/3 inch of sadust or put sawdust in that equals 1/3 of the cup. A better method of teaching this might be in exact measurements.
A cup or pound of wax, a cup of sawdust, 5 charcoal briquettes, a cup of peanuts and a cup of dryer lint. Ground the charcoal and peanuts up and mix with sawdust. Place the wax in a short/wide sized container that you don't need. Place the container in a pan or pot of boiling water. Reduce to a simmer when the wax melts. Add in the lint, peanuts, charcoal and sawdust and then mix well. Use anything flat or even recycled cups. scoop the mixture and make piles as tall as you want or put the mixture into the cups. allow to cool. It is not necessary to have an external wick or other lighting place if you pile the mixture up. One point or another will be thin enough to use as a starting point. If you use the cups, leave a tiny amount of lint sticking out that you can light. Viola, fire starter...... or are the peanuts just to eat while you're making them?
Otherwise, very good Instructable. It did paint the broad picture and allowed others to use their own form.

Cool instructable.
But what about the peanuts? You mentioned peanuts but you didn't say in your steps if you must add it in the cup. And is this safe??? Because 'n don't want it to explode or something like that...

I don't plan to try it but i like where your coming from. My only feed back is now i'm thinking about this. Thats good... i think but if you can make this moer spur of the moment, more bits hanging around and it'll be perfect. Eg. paper, candles and sugar/propelant will get it going in a very small package.
