I subscribe to a number of newsletters and within the past week or so, I received one that talked about Frito s as firestarter s -- anyone heard of this?
angelsmom10No, but I have heard of using Lay s potato chips.

angelsmom10The only fire I know of that Fritos can start is the one in my gut! Can t eat those things any more![:@]
angelsmom10I have never started a fire with them. But I have tossed a few in the fire to watch them burn, and they really go.
angelsmom10never heard of using frito s or chips, what flavor are you suppose to use? [;)]
angelsmom10I think BBQ flavor would work nicely. [;)] [;)]
angelsmom10Frito s for firestarter? Mayonaise to restore luster to fiberglass? Tomato juice to de-skunk campers? Peanut butter for bait in mouse traps? Whipped cream and ostrich feathers for....ooops wrong thread...earl
angelsmom10If you use Fritos as a firestarter, does that attract bears?
angelsmom10I actually tried this last summer. We used barbecue Fritos and it didn t work at all.
They stayed lit for a few seconds, but it would have never been enough to start a fire.

angelsmom10No, but pistachio shells seem to burn quite hot.
