My husband spun steel wool on fire for my friend and me; on the street in the neighborhood, hence, why you see lights from homes. This was her first time so it was very cool to introduce her to it.
@dejongdd We just take heavy picture frame wire and wrap around the steel wool tightly. Light the steel wool with either a battery or lighter. I've seen some people put the steel wool inside a whisk but you still need heave wire to spin it with.
