We used to use this product every winter since we have 2 wood burning stoves. But about 2008 they must have changed the ingredients and now they are very hard to light, don't stay lit easily, are very hard to break apart, and to separate, and compared to how they used to work, they are now a useless product. I wrote to Jarden Home Brands to tell them the product is now inferior but they did not respond, apparently not caring about customer satisfaction. Don't waste your money. This is a formerly great, user-friendly product that the manufacturer has ruined by making it with cheap ingredients. I'm looking for a better product elsewhere.

This is one of those products that would probably get a 5-star review if there weren't other products on the market that are far better. I've always used StarterLogg's. One of the big box stores didn't have them and they assured me these Duraflames were the same thing - they're not.
Starterlogg's have the consistency of pressboard mixed with wax. When you separate them they leave craggly surface that starts fire easily. Duraflames are closer to MDF - much denser and smoother - harder to start. They also have a wax paper wrapper which you're supposed to light. Every time I've tried this the paper just burns off and leaves a charred lump.
The only way I've found to use these is tear the wrapper off, break a brick into smaller pieces, scrape one end to try to get a rough surface area and light. Then after it's been burning for 3-4 mins take a fireplace poker and knock off the burning end to make kind of an "ember slurry". After that it will burn good, and start anything, but it's just more hassle than it needs to be when there are much better options for the same price.
By the way, if you dont mind the effort you can make your own just by mixing melted paraffin/candle wax with sawdust.

Lightning Nuggets N50VBOX Firestarters Box of Fire-Starting Nuggets, 50 Count Review

I have used the brick type fire starters up till now, usually breaking them into thirds. These almost always worked well in my wood stove, lighting 6 inch diameter split logs with no kindling.
These seemed to be too small and too light to match that performance. But they are at least as good as my previous fire starters, needing no kindling to start fires in my stove. I place two split logs parallel to each other with an inch or two between them where I place one of these fire starters. On top of these I place one or two more split logs at an angle. So far only one fire starter has been all I need to get a good fire going.

Quickly and safely start any indoor or outdoor fire, in any season, with this box of 50 fire-starting nuggets. The non-toxic environmentally safe pine-scented nuggets have an unlimited shelf life and feature a blend of highly resinous, pulverized pitchwood sawdust and food-grade paraffin wax. Best of all, each nugget lights easily and burns strong for 15 minutes minimum, which means it only takes one round-shaped nugget to start the fire--no need for newspaper and kindling or messy lighter fluids or gels. The fire-starting nuggets leave behind no residue and can be safely used in fireplaces, fireplace inserts, wood stoves, and pellet stoves, as well as in barbeques and campfires. They make it easy to enjoy a nice fire without the hassle of getting it started. They also make a great addition to an emergency kit or backcountry survival kit. Made in the USA, the fire starters come in a box that measures 10-1/5 by 5-1/5 by 4-4/5 inches.

I purchased this product when the gentleman that installed our replacement
fire box demonstrated how easy it is to start a fire with them. Compared
to other products this is very inexpensive, less than $0.30 a nugget. Some
products, like paste, blocks, and sticks are three to five times more expensive than the nuggets. Best of all they work with small wood for a
quick start, then add the bigger stuff. You can, and I do, carry these in your backpack and/or car in case you get stranded; I usually put a couple in a small 'Ziploc' plastic bag along with a small box of matches.
