Every time I wear out a t-shirt or handkerchief, I cut the cloth up and place it into an old coffee can.
Then when I am bored, I move the pieces t my 'burning' tin and make more charcloth than I can use.
So if anyone is still having trouble, I'll be glad to mail you some.
Those who give up a little freedom in place of a little security will soon discover that they possess neither.

Yes, super easy to make and always end up with way too much. I can't believe it's sold on eBay.
I like the site: How to make and use char cloth by graywolf prepper

When I clean my guns with cotton clothes i take the ones that aren't too dirty or oily and put them in an old Altoids tin. Once that I full i just put the tin in a small fire and let it sit there till it stop smoking then its done.
