Questions & Answers

Tsc sells them for $12, so I think Amazon is a good deal. Due to the math, 99 a box with 144 squares. Amazon has a bit of a premium. ?

It was well worth the money.

Is it safe to use them in a pizza oven because they are chemical-free and food-grade?

These are the best fire starters I've ever used in my 40 years of using a wood stove. Not sure if they're food-grade (don't eat them), but they do meet the country's most stringent air quality standards. Also meets the requirements of Rule 1174 of the South Coast Air Quality Management District. C38. I see no reason why they wouldn't work well for starting a fire in a pizza oven. They're the ones who light the fires. That's exactly what they're good at.

Is there any way to easily break them? The last two boxes I received were difficult to dismantle because they were not as deep cut. ?

Twist off two rows of two each, then twist the two pieces apart; twisting is easier and leaves a rough edge that makes starting a match easier. I've been using these for quite some time now.

Wood stoves will love it
5/5

I use wood as the primary heat source in my home, so I don't have to re-heat it all that often. I'm going to start a fire, but once I do, I'm going to - These Rutland fire starter squares are exactly what you've been looking for! br>br>Please see the attached image - These have a nice, large flame, and you'll probably get 7 to 8 hours of use out of them. Each one has a time limit of ten minutes. You get 144 per pack, so for most people, one box will last them an entire winter. br>br>If you go by "cost per use," these are about as cheap as any similar product gets. I don't collect kindling; instead, I make 3/4" splits from larger logs and use that as 'kindling' - which you'd never be able to begin with a match To start fires this way, you need a good hot flame, and these deliver every time; impressive!br>br>I don't see any reason to use anything else; highly recommended (and specifically approved for wood stoves). Watch out for brands that may actually increase creosote buildup and pose a fire hazard (read the fine print). These burn clean and are suitable for stoves and masonry chimneys.

I've been using these for years and they are excellent
5/5

The cost I paid is roughly the same as it was three years ago - That's incredible. It lights up quickly and stays lit for about 10 minutes. br>br> I use two of these to light the firewood for my stove, which keeps the house warm. I recently bought a bundle of 500 pine starter wood and some fat wood - When I received the fat wood box, it was broken, and the 500 piece pine starter wood was WAY WAY overpriced for what you get. br>br>I would suggest it to anyone who wants to start a fire - The product is excellent, and the price for two boxes is extremely reasonable.

It's simple and quick to start a fire
5/5

When people buy firewood at my campground, I give them two squares. In addition, I have a fireplace and a wood-burning furnace in my home. With full-sized wood, one square can start a fire. In less than 15 minutes, you'll have a roaring campfire. In ten minutes, with one square. 2 sq. feet It helps if you know how to put the wood in the right place so that the fire can breathe. This product is fantastic if you do your part. I use up to 15 squares per day on occasion. Use one or two almost all of the time.

My favorite fire starters have been on the decline for a long time
3/5

They still do the job, but the new ones are noticeably thinner than the ones I received a year ago. I stacked a bunch, and the new stack was much shorter and had the same number of items. This pattern is expected to persist. They'll get more expensive next year, then thinner the following year, then more expensive the following year, and so on. They'll be so thin that they'll be worthless in no time. What was once a reliable product is quickly devolving into snake oil. scam.

I have an outside chimney in New England, and if I go away for a few days in the winter, the cold air fills the chimney, and if I use paper and kindling to start a fire, it smokes up the entire house because it doesn't burn hot enough, long enough to push that cold air out of the chimney
5/5

This burns hot and fast and doesn't smoke up the house. I don't start burning cubes with wood until I'm sure the chimney is drawing properly. Then I ; ut the wood on and start a fire, just like I always do.

I use to start a fire in a fireplace insert by placing one in the center of a small Tee Pee of twigs with kindling around it
5/5

Because it takes a few seconds to start, I prop a rolled-up piece of newspaper against the starter. It lasts long enough to heat up the twigs and kindling. It's a little pricey at 13 cents per light, but it's less expensive than many other items.

It does what it says
5/5

It's never been easier to start a fire. I start by laying down a piece of wood about the same height as the fire starter block, chopping one square in half with an axe and leaning it 6 to 8 inches apart along the base piece. Then use the fire starter to get the fire going. After that, stack two more logs on top of each fire starter. Then relax and enjoy the fire in your wood stove, which I use. But I think they'd be great for starting a campfire as well.

I really like this item
5/5

Years ago, I wish I had known about this product! What an easy way to start a fire! Works so much better than scrap paper/newspaper for starting a fire, and we don't even use kindling with this product and the fire still lights up the log nicely. br>Normally, we only need one square to start a fire for the evening, so this 2-square set is a nice addition. The package set should last us a long time, and it's a lot less expensive than similar products in our local store.
