| Flammable chips
Ok this might already be common knowledge, but just found that it is bad to stand close to a camp fire with Pringles potato chips. Had a little camp fire tonight for the kids and just happened to be holding a can of pringles and leaned over to catch a log as it was about to fall out of the fire and spilled my pringles in and they flammed up like you had just throwed a newspaper in the fire. I looked at my old lady like did you just see that sh't and she was laughing. Sure enough if you hold a lighter to pringles they will flame up good. |

Husmans is the most flammable chip I have found. A whole box of them will make a camp fire go up like you just poured gas on it. They also taste great. So, if you are weary of burning them you can take comfort in the fact they taste great, and you can enjoy eating them just as much. |

I've used tater chips for campfire starter for yrs. Woke up one camping trip with everything wet from heavy dew, found out even soggy chips work great as fire starter. As little at a half dozen chips will burn quite a while.
