How To Make Char Cloth on the Grill  Use 100 percent cotton fabric scraps in an empty candy tin.  Altoids tin http://amzn.to/2d0IOIk   Make a hole in the top of the Altoids can to allow smoke to escape.  Fill it with fabric scraps, and set it on your barbecue grill.  The grill will heat and burn the fabric into char cloth.  Char cloth is a thin piece of charcoal which will help you start a fire for camping, emergency, or survival situations.  Add char cloth to your fire starting and Prepping gear to start fires in an emergency. Use all cotton fabric, such as old t shirts and jeans, and save the Altoids can for making more.  Making char cloth is so simple, anyone can do it.  Give it a try!  Poke a hole in the can to permit the gasses to escape, and to gauge proper burn time. When the flame coming out of the hole disappears, your char material is done.  This takes the guess work out of making char cloth.  Allow the can to cool completely before opening.
