get the most reluctant campfire blazing..?
Posted by admin in Question & Answers, tags: blazing.., campfire, Most, reluctantWhat does “get the most reluctant campfire blazing” mean in the paragraph below? Needing your help!
“Pack a dozen or so cotton balls heavily saturated with petroleum jelly in a plastic bag. When a fire just won’t get going, place several of the balls among the paper scraps and kindling and light them. Then get those marshmallows ready, since the petroleum jelly usually burns long enough to get even the most reluctant campfire blazing.”

It means, “the campfire that just won’t start”
Sometimes a campfire wants to keep going out and won’t stay lit. That is a reluctant campfire. Apparently, if you light petroleum jelly, it will burn sort of like gasolene to help the fire along.
Meaning: The campfire that battled to stay lit is now roaring.
Peace.
Note. If it were people: You would have to kick some @ss.
