Fatwood Firestarter Box, 5-Pounds

I love fat wood. It makes it easy to start my solo stove with pellets or wood. These are good quality and not bad for the price.

I was looking for a fire starter that doesn't rely on chemicals to get started since I sometimes use my campfire to cook. Thanks to the reviews I tried these sticks and wasn't disappointed. I don't agree with another reviewer who said they a spark easily... Depending on the wind, they can take a minute or two to start up and will go out if they don't have enough heat. In fact, I considered giving this review 4 stars since they don't spark as easily as the starters soaked in chemicals or fuel; BUT, I changed it back to 5 stars because I think they work marvelously for an all-natural starter even if they require a little extra care.The first couple times using these, I think I used 10-15 sticks until my firewood caught on (which is a lot but I didn't really know what I was doing). Since then, I'm able to start a fire using 4 sticks. If there is no wind, I could probably use just 2 sticks but there is more risk that they will go out before the firewood catches. I've learned that using 4 sticks ensures they will stay lit and provides enough heat to get the firewood started. If your're not paying attention and the fire gets too low to start another log, you just need one stick that will quickly start it back up.

I used 3 if these in my Weber grill. I built a small pile of charcoal on top of the 3 fire starter sticks. I used a long lighter to ignite the 3 sticks. Hold the lighter’s flame on each stick for about 5 seconds. They lit perfectly and burned well for at least 10 minutes. Their fire easily spread to my coals and while the fire was going, I added more coals so I’d have enough to cook. Don’t smother the fire.Since they worked perfectly in my first attempt, these get 5 stars. I’ve been using a chimney starter for years. I gave these a try because they are fairly priced.Grilled a few pounds of boneless chicken to perfection on the Weber.

The best fire starter I’ve ever used for charcoal grilling as well as camping. Been using it for over 10 years now. Doesn’t need any lighter fluid at all, burns hot and somewhat fast. Can easily light one stick and then use that to light multiple sticks. I usually use about 4 or 5 sticks to get a campfire or the grill going. I feel safer transporting this on my car camping trips than I would with fluid.

They work fine and I have been using them for years now. Will buy again.

*Update * I contacted the company about the box of fatwood that was difficult to light. They immediately sent me a replacement box. This box was easier to light. I was able to start them with just a match. This is the same quality as previous purchases. I will definitely buy these again in the future. *Review of 1st box* I have bought this brand several times in the past with no issues until this purchase. These fatwood sticks are extremely hard to light. I regret my purchase. Every year I would only buy this brand because of their reliability to start fires in the fireplace. This batch is so bad it's even hard to start a fire with a torch using paper and seasoned kindling. In the past this fatwood could be lit with just a match. Now I have to find another great reliable fatwood to start my fires 🔥. Batch Information Product was Ordered on November 17th and delivered on November 20th 2020.

I liked the fact I only had to use a couple of the Firestarter sticks to get a good fire going in my woodstove.

These fatwood fire starter sticks are a must-have for anyone with a firepit. Light easy, and burn hot/long and get your firewood going. "Fatwood" has been a secret of Southern outdoorsmen for more than a century. We roam around the woods looking for old pine stumps to take home and make this from scratch.

I prefer to use this over the chemical starters. Amazing stuff!

Absolutely brilliant product and worth the money. I no longer need a selection for toxic firelighters and the patience of a saint to get my log burner going!

Difficult to find an alternative to the petrol/chemical based fire lighters.Take a little longer to light from a match, but when going have a good long flame.

four fatwood sticks from light my fire are 4,95, think i'll buy them by the box full for 12,00 in future !!!

great
