Better Wood Products Fatwood Firestarter Box, 5-Pounds

We recently bought a house with a wood burning fireplace and a recent cold spell was just perfect to test it out. We bought piñon wood, but I thought we might need a boost to get the fire going. These Fatwood Firesticks were perfect--we lighted the sticks and they caught fire and ignited the wood and we had a lovely fire burning away.

Great product. Will use 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 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.

There was a great assortment of sizes to suit almost any need. This size box was perfect for me. The wood is remarkably easy to light and my fire-pit is ablaze in no time. I thought the product was a bit pricey, hence the four stars rather than five. The utility of the product is outstanding.

Great fire starter but wish it was. Cheaper

These are great starters for a wood burning fireplace. They burn great.

I continue to re-order this FatWood because it works very well for starting fires. Good value for the money.

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
