It looks like fine wood chips compressed in a waxy substrate. The tip is coated in a red match-like substance that can be struck against the box to start a fire. I use a lighter to light it after placing it near a prepared fire, and it works great for starting a fire!

These sticks are excellent at starting a fire. They do require some paper and/or kindling, but they are a good way to get the wood lit slowly. They don't have the same odor as other products I've tried, and the box has a sturdier surface, though I just light the tip with a lighter or match. Keep an eye on it at first because it flares up a little (BBQ lighters work great!). I've been buying these for years and will continue to do so as long as they're still available. Thank you for making such an excellent product.
Normally, I purchase these at a large-scale retailer. (and will continue to do so in the future). For something like this, the order took a long time, in my opinion. They were damp when I went to use them for the first time the other night; having been kept in what appears to be a humidified environment Moisture had caused the lighting component at the ends to crumble. I had to use a propane-fueled lighter to get it started. torch. br>br>I'm drying them out now, so we'll see if that helps them work properly. I'll go to the store next time.
Smoke will not light because it appears to be weathered. I keep these on my fireplace all of the time. These appear to be a little worn or weathered for some reason. On the other hand, the reactive agent does not burn but rather smokes. To light these, I'm having to use real matches. I've also had a few of my lighters break in half while attempting to light them.
These are extremely effective. When I light up the wood stove, I only use about a third of a stick. It simply expedites and simplifies the process. There isn't a lot of thin kindling that is required. When it's below freezing outside (and close to it inside! ), these fire starters come in handy. They don't usually go out once they've started to burn! By the time they arrive, the fire has already gotten a good start.
As a home owner who relies on wood for supplemental heating, I've used a lot of Firestarter, and these are hands down the best value for your money. Of course, you could start your fire from scratch, but if you have 50 fires a winter, that gets old fast. I plan on returning for more.
I believe the box has absorbed moisture, necessitating the use of a match to light them. They burn brightly and for a long time once they've been lit. I'd prefer it if they could be lit up on the box, but I appreciate what they're doing.
I primarily purchase these to get our wood stove started. There's no need for newspaper or any other type of starting material. In order to get twice as many starts, I also cut them in half. Half of one can easily light a large pile of kindling. Because the strike head doesn't always work, I simply use a match. One of them is also kept in my snowboarding pants, along with other emergency items. They're also lightweight, portable, and waterproof, making them ideal for camping trips.
These are fantastic. They're the simplest to light out of the bunch. br>The best feature is the red strip, but it has been dwindling in recent months and is no longer bright enough to start the stick. This does not distinguish it from other starters. I've always made an effort to purchase these over others. I'm hoping this is a one-time occurrence rather than a permanent change.
