Landmann Fire Starter Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I use these to start fires in our fireplace this winter. They work very well. They burn hot and last fairly long. In almost all cases, I can start a log fire without any kindling. This assume that the wood is dry.
I find that you typically need 2, sometimes 3, packets to start a large stack of wood in a firelpace For a small fire, like a campfire, once should suffice.
I will be buying these again.

Jarden Home Brands-Firelog 24Pk Wd Fire Starterlog 8797 Firelogs Holders & Accessories Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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.

Survival Fire Pen Aluminum Fire Piston Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Just wanted to write a review to offset the other, very negative review this thing's gotten.
The product is an aluminum tube with an aluminum plunger. There is a knurled (brass?) screw set into the bottom, and three bands machined around the tube for a grip. The seal for compressing air is achieved by an O-ring, and this seal is sufficiently air-tight to require the knurled screw, to make a relief valve. The relief valve has its own, small O-ring. Vaseline is recommended for lubricating the O-rings, so they must be made from something other than rubber, maybe Maglight-O-ring-material. Despite Les Stroud's endorsement, his name does not appear anywhere on the product, which is good, because he whinges.
In operation... well, it's a fire syringe. You push the plunger, it heats the air. I was able to get the char-cloth supplied with the thing to light after a couple of tries, and since the O-rings are rubber and lubricated with vaseline, I did not need to re-lubricate between attempts. The char-cloth supplied is rather loosely woven (denim?), and will go out it not blown on---I've made better from tee-shirt cotton---but that's not the fault of the product, and easily remedied. I can see the O-rings as a wear item, the large one from repeated plunging and the small one from compression if the fire piston is stored improperly, with the screw tightened; one spare large O-ring is supplied, and I expect that a dive shop will have the right sizes if needed. It can be a little hard on the palm plunging such a skinny piston, but if it were less compact, it wouldn't be as compact, right? If a lot of practicing seems indicated, bracing the bottom against something solid and putting a concave piece of wood or some thick leather under the plunging-hand palm might make it less painful. Again, you can't get something this compact without making it this compact.
Is a Zippo lighter more convenient? Is a disposable Bic more convenient yet? You bet! This is why we use those to light our cigarettes/barbecues/etc. these days rather than fire syringes! But this thing does work as advertised.

Light My Fire TinderDust Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This looked perfect for my daypack emergency kit. I actually bought this for the little snuff box, (who's gonna pay $4 for wood shavings?), turns out it holds only 1 oz. and it's PLASTIC! Under GOOD conditions that amount might start 2-3 fires. Had it been metal, adding an O-ring would keep it's contents dry. I could've got the sticks & made much more for same price!

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.

Light My Fire TinderSticks Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I got some of these Mayan Resinwood sticks and a magnesium fire starter at a Sporting Goods Show a few years back.
Shave a few splinters off the chock-full of resin sticks, strike with the magnesium striker, and you have a campfire going quickly. If you have trouble finding burnable material, one of the Mayan firesticks will burn strong and last quite a long time. They came in handy more than a few times on damp and wet conditions while camping with my sons' Scout Troop. These Mayan sticks are FAR superior to Georgia or Alabama fatwood. I bought mine in Tennessee!
The snuff-can package has the shaving part already done for you, but you'll need additional tinder if you want your fire to last.
They are also great to keep in the car with some tinder and matches for those 'just in case' situations.

10 Lb Fatwood In Color Carton Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've tried every kind of fire-starter out there and always keep coming back to fatwood as being the best, easiest to use, and definitely most environmentally responsible. It contains no petrochemicals - just good-old pine resin. It's "made" by leaving pine stumps standing for a few months after harvesting the trees, so that the resin in the roots moves up into the stump. The stump is then split and cured awhile before being packaged - by the time you get it, it's dry and volatile and lights really fast and burns really hot.
All I use to get a roaring fire going is two sticks, lit and dropped between between two logs in the wood-stove. I add a small handful of bark and twigs to the blaze, then put my top-log on top of that. I heat my whole home with nothing but my wood-stove every winter, and fatwood makes that job a lot easier.
The only thing I've ever encountered that starts a fire faster and hotter is Army-surplus trioxane tablets, which are impressive, but really toxic - I was always worried about inhaling the dust or getting it into my clothes (and I wasn't too thrilled about what I was sending up the chimney, either!) And those sawdust-and-paraffin fire-starter bricks from the grocery store are just about worthless - almost as hard to light as plain wood! So fatwood it is for me, and has been for years now.
This particular product is also the best deal per pound that I've found so far for fatwood - even after adding shipping and handling. The box it comes in is a nice bonus, too - easy to dispense from and store. I hope Amazon keeps offering it!

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

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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.

Lightning Nuggets N100SEB Firestarters Super Economy Box of Fire-Starting Nuggets, 100 Count Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)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.
