EasyGoProducts Eco-Stix Fatwood Fire Starter Kindling Firewood Sticks 100% Organic Firestarter for Wood Stoves, Fireplaces, Campfires, Bonfires - 05 Pounds

These kindling sticks really light easily. In fact I used less than the recommended amount.Took a stick and split it into smaller strips. Took off and burned a long time. Didn’t use any paper etc to get the fire going. The box was smaller then I had expected, but should last for a long time based on how good that they work.

These firewood starters are awesome. No horrible smell and they light very quickly and do a great job of catching the logs on fire!

The Eco-Stix Fatwood Fire Starter is a great value for the 10-pound box. It's incredibly effective at getting fires going quickly, whether you're using it for a fire pit or fireplace. The pieces are well-sized, and it ignites easily, making the fire-starting process hassle-free. Ideal for outdoor or indoor fires, it's a reliable and affordable choice for anyone who enjoys a quick, strong flame.

Decent lighter for a reasonable price in a size that works well to start fires. Those who have used pine lighter wood from old growth long leaf pine stumps, will need to adjust expectations. This wood does not have nearly the level of resin built up as old growth lighter wood. Overall the the wood starts and burns well, but the same could be said for dried yellow heart pine wood with a lot of resin. The box is convenient and the wood is drier in appearance than one generally sees if harvesting locally, but over time all will fade and the resin will be less effective. How to know if you have a good product. Starts Easy and will have a creosote/black smoke immediately. Lighter wood with heavy amounts of resin will also make a sound as the resin burns off. Overall the product is a good product and packaged weight was as stated.

When I was a kid we heated our home with a wood stove. I'm glad we don't do that now, but I do like to burn a fire in the fire pit from time to time. As a kid my dad would send me out looking for what he called "rich pine" or "heart pine". This was the hard middle section of a dead pine tree that remained after the rest rotted away. So I would walk through the woods looking for downed and dead pine trees and, using a hatchet, would chip away at what was left to see if there was any rich, heart pine there. The scent is unmistakable and it lights up like it would if it were dipped in kerosene.This is basically a box of neatly packaged rich pine sticks that work great for starting fires. Just light a match and it ignites and stays burning while you get your fire started. I normally light two or three of these and build a teepee shape with them and then start placing small sticks on top. They work great and a box lasts a long time.

I’ve been using fatwood sticks for decades. There is definitely a variation in quality in the options available. This product performs quite well, lights easily with one match, stays lit and burns completely. I always split the sticks in half or more to get more mileage out of the quantity purchased and they burn better when split. Such is the case with these. I got a good price on a large quantity box . A good move as it will carry through this season often lighting fires twice a day. One split stick is all that’s needed

Easy and quick to start in our wood stove.

As cooler temps approach and I use my fireplace insert to warm the house in the 'shoulder' months before hard winter, this product is a perfect fire starter.

4 Boxes, not a fluke. 80% of it is just slightly resinous. Look for better.

Muy buen tamaño para iniciar el fuego en el grill.
