A couple glugs of olive or sunflower oil into tissues or paper towels makes a great easy firelighter for wood burning stoves etc.

I’m not talking about a cup of oil, just a tsp or so. Sometimes all our kindling etc is a little damp and stuff seems reluctant to get going. The oil or even an old tea-light paraffin candle helps it marvellously!
