Homemade Fire Starters

He used Sorbitol because it melts at a lower temperature which is really nice but regular old sugar works too. I used powdered or confectioners sugar because it's finer so it mixes a bit faster.
 
If you want more specific directions on how to make uniform sized pods here is the original video I found years ago. It's a lengthier step by step.
Funny, when I asked my brother about cooking some of this rocket fuel at his property in Crawford County, he asked Diane, his wife. She deadpanned back to him, "In the HOUSE?" LOL!
 
Lol, I've always cooked it in the house! Then again I also make my own black powder. I haven't seen anybody ever mention this guy on ODT but The King of Random has a good video on sugar rocket fuel as well. He experiments with four different variations of recipes too. He is dead now, no relation to rockets.....he died in an ultralight plane crash. Sad because he put out some cool how to videos.
