Steel wool and a 9volt battery are another one that most people miss. Not perfect but it works.
Jeff,
Yep I have used steel wool and a battery several times and it certainly makes a hot coal and last a while. The problem I see with using those as a tinder is that it pretty much takes 00 or 000 fine steel wool, which at least in my experience isn’t the type of steel wool that most people have around the house. usually it is more like SOS or more coarse steel wool for scrubbing pots, etc. I have never personally been able to get the more coarse stuff to work at all. Especially SOS, with all of the soap in there. It won’t work at all. I did think about the finer 000 steel wool in the video, but after I went to a grocery store and a hardware store looking for the right stuff and neither had it, I decided to leave it out. It is neat to use though! Kinda neat seeing the ember grow so quickly with just the touch of a battery. Thanks! JJ
Good Vid JJ…Jeffery got my idea first. We used steel wool way back when I was in Boy Scouts for Wilderness Merit Badge…works like a charm. Works better with C or D cell batteries. You covered alot of options in your article/video. I need to get one of those Steel Fire Matches you have. Lots of these methods could be useful for getting a fire going in the stove article I’ll have for you soon. Finishing it up today.
