Wood Fire Starter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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.

Landmann 82700 Earth Friendly Wood Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)we used it for our wood stove. yes, it comes with 6 logs but they ask you to use at least 2 logs per fire. yes, it comes with 4 free fire starters, but i had to use 2 for the first fire with 2 logs and used the last 2 for the 2nd fire with 2 logs. the second fire died prematurely. i had to maintain the fire with additional things to burn (used paper towels, cardboard) to keep the fire alive. definitely not repurchasing this product. i now have two half burned logs in the wood stove and 2 brand new logs in the box that will have to supplement the next set of logs we purchase, since i ran out of fire starters.
