How do I make pine cones for pretty camping fire flames?
I know I can buy these commercially, but would like to make some myself to give to camping friends. Most campgrounds have a fire ring where the camper can build a fire to roast weiners and marshmallows. These commercial pine cones add colors to the flames, like green and blue. How do I make them myself?

i can’t remember the exact name of the chemicals.. but if you coat a pine cone in lithium chloride it’ll burn red, boric acid burns blue, sodium chloride burns yellow potassium chloride burns purple, copper sulphate goes green.
