Fire starter logs are usually of two types, neither of which have paraffin *oil* (kerosene) in them. They are either "fat wood", which is the wood from the center of old pine trees which is full of crystallized pine sap/tar or a mixture of sawdust/wood chips mixed with wax (solid paraffin).

Why would you need to get kerosine out of firestarter logs in the first place? That stuff is so incredibly cheap.

It has been said by the starter of the post that he doesn't actually want the kerosene, but he wants the log WITHOUT the kerosene in it. So yes, if he wanted gas, he would go to the gas station. If he wants the material firestarter logs are made of, minus kerosene, he will attempt this.

Wtf? They don't sell Kerosene at gas stations in USA... You have to get it from hardware stores and what not.

Most gas stations around here have kerosene at the pumps.... They usually have 1 pump with it. Gas stations in the city might not have it as common as the country ones because they use the kerosene for farm equipment and such.

Alex,

 

Kerosene, liquid paraffin, diesel, and fuel oil are all pretty much the same stuff.
