Grillanzünder DIY - für lau

Hello friends welcome here from the hall The weather is bad outside it's storming and raining and you can't work outside That's why we thought we'd make a little craft video We'll show you what we can do with the cones from the Scots pine here We make our own grill or fireplace starters from it We happen to have a very very large black pine tree in our garden It always sheds a huge number of cones We've already collected a few boxes here I will now show you in the video how to make such spark plugs for Lao First we need wax This is naturally always very appropriate during the Christmas season or after Christmas We always have old candles or tea lights left over The wax can then be collected It is melted in a larger pot then That makes it very very hot Then simply take the cones that you have already properly dried We have placed them in the heating room where the air humidity is very very low and it is also very warm That means they dry very quickly When the cones are dry you can usually tell quite well then they open up If the cones are wet they are closed So you always do it with completely dry cones So the candle wax is really bubbling here Then we just put the plugs in Carefully fill the entire pot Now you can already see that it is bubbling very vigorously We are now cooking the cones until the foam disappears Then they coated themselves well with candle wax and then burn accordingly for a long time So after a few minutes the foam has completely disappeared Now one can be sure that the wax has really penetrated deep into the plug and that all the remaining water has disappeared And so the logs are already burning very very long I still have some beeswax left at home I no longer have any use for it That's why we are using it here for the plugs You can simply sprinkle it on the still-hot coals and then it will stick there That's another type of fire starter If you don't have this option now because something else needs to be added the wicks also burn beautifully without the wax The only thing is that the burning time is a bit longer now because a little extra wax still comes on But you can also go and reinsert the cooled nozzles into the hot wax This actually has exactly the same effect Then a slightly thick coating forms again As a small nice gift idea one can take the plug while it is still warm Also as long as the wax is still warm you can sprinkle it here with fire colors It then pulls in and then pushes it up not falling back down It simply has the effect of coloring the flame with this powder It is important to use these sticks only for lighting fires not for grilling This powder must not be used in conjunction with food This is very important But to light a fireplace or any campfire One can definitely use the powder without any concern At our workshop furnace I'll show you the effect this powder has on fire and how intensely it colors the flame So then I'll show you how well you can light the fireplace with these wax drink taps It is important that when you light them you light them here at the tip and that they tend to go downward so that the fire then burns up high So friends I've just taken another tap here and I'm going to demonstrate it again now when there's no wood involved so that you can see how well a plug burns on its own So guys I'm going to light another fuse now which has the fireworks powder on it Then you can see it again So guys I hope you can hear me It's very windy you know Behind me you can see a Pinus nigra also known as a black pine or black fir They really make these nice cones and they are perfect for such kindling Other types of candles also burn but I think these last especially long I can already see it I'll have to go around again with the next bucket There are pegs lying everywhere here again So friends I'm just going to show you something again Back then when I had this carport built here the carpenter said first of all the tree has to go Yes but since it's my beloved black pine I said no the tree stays build your carport nicely around it Yes and that's exactly what he did Made a nice hole up there right here with a drain So that the tree here gets all the water and it is as happy as ever
