Burn time is twenty-five minutes with high flames of TWO PLUS FEET !! This product is the SMART CHOICE when you need a Fuel for your Fire Bowls, Fire Pits/Rings and Outdoor Fireplaces.

Tom’s test
I love this stuff. It’s a great price for what you get. It is essentially a 3 pound bag full of wax covered wood chunks and large pieces of saw dust. What the manufacturer means by "food grade" is that there are no harmful chemicals used in creating this product. Therefore you could use this product to cook with.
This stuff would be great for an outside fire, a campfire, or a chiminea. Just pour a bunch of the material from the bag, into your outside fire and light it. It takes a moment to light it and get it going. Once it’s going, it burns bright and hot. Since only the outside of the pile of fire starter is burning, you’ll have to stoke the pile and move it around periodically and keep it burning bright. You could actually burn this instead of wood in your campfire or other outside fire. On your next camping trip, just bring a couple bags of this stuff and pour it in the fire ring instead of lugging around or searching for wood.
For my inside fire, I just grab a handful, put it in the fireplace and light it. It does a great job of getting the fire going and keeping it going.
It’s important to have a good fire starter. It’s also important to have some good tinder. We sell some very good tinders here. However, it is also important to use your fire starter at home before you go outdoors. A great project for the budding outdoorsman is making your own tinder. Try the cotton ball and vaseline tinder method. Just get a cotton ball and some vaseline. Get the vaseline throughout the cotton ball, but don’t oversoak it so it’s too wet with vaseline. You’ll need to pull the cotton ball apart a bit to expose the individual threads and throw a spark from you new fire starter. You’ll be amazed at how quickly it catches fire and how long and hot it burns. This is a great project for scout troops as well.
The homemade cotton ball and vaseline tinder is great, but can be messy. Go ahead and also try one or more of our compressed tinders. Another great project is to try different fire starters and tinders to see which works best for you. Again, the bottom line is to learn how to make a fire with your fire starter long before you have to start a fire in a survival situation.
