Poland is the country where this item is made.
Stearin is made up entirely of this substance.
These are fantastic! I have an "Egg" BBQ that I use as a firestarter (or "Chimney") that I purchased on Amazon (it looks like a coffee can with a handle). I put some charcoal in first, then cut up a fire starter into a few pieces, place them in, add more charcoal, then a few more pieces, and finally stick a few pieces around the top. As I go, I'll light them. In about 20 minutes, you'll have a flawless fire. Time: 25 minutes Fill the BBQ with the chimneys, spread them out, cover with the grill top, and cook the steaks!

There is no way to verify who they are because there is no company information or website.
These were ordered as a replacement for Fatwood for our wood-burning fireplace insert, and while they light quickly, they also burn out quickly. Last night, we had to use five of them to start the fire.
I used two of the Firestarters to easily light the lump charcoal. The GreenSpark Firestarters did not disappoint when used for the first time on lump charcoal. After 20 minutes, the results are shown in the image. They do exactly what I expect them to do. If the rest of the box performs as well as the first two Firestarters, this product will be worthwhile.
This may not be the firestarter for you if all you want to do is stack large logs and light them. These things are champs if you do a little "proper" fire construction, which includes smaller wood at the bottom, a good stack, and some good airflow. I start with a small amount of kindling, stack medium-sized items above it, and provide adequate airflow, and one of these nuggets is all I need. I'd use Duraflame Quickstart if I just wanted to throw a big piece of wood in, light it, and walk away, but they're $1 each.
These work well, and the box contains a good number of fire starters. Other reviews claim that these aren't natural. br>br>I also noticed other reviews claiming that these aren't natural. The box, however, was a mystery to them. br>br>Paraffin wax is a light to medium lubricating oil that has been refined. It is nearly colorless and odorless. Fruits, vegetables, and candy are coated in paraffin wax to give them a lustrous appearance.

I recently received my firestarters and decided to put them through their paces in my Solo Titan Stove. I attempted to start the Green Spark with a flint and steel but failed, but I am a novice. In my stove, which has been modified with a quarter-inch steel cloth screen in the bottom, I put one firestarter and two fistfuls of Trager Cherrywood pellets. A woodstove long neck lighter makes it simple to light the firestarter. A few pellets were nudged onto the starter. After a few pellets had been lit, the spread was sufficient, and I was able to boil two cups of water before quickly adding two more, which did not fully boil but were hot enough for tea. The flames and heat died out after that, owing to the fact that the pellets had been used up. The firestarter lasted the same amount of time as the pellets before completely burning out. After it got going, I didn't have to fiddle with it much. I'm confident that if I had put some twigs in the fire, I could have kept it going for as long as I had fuel. In the future, I'll try putting a piece of newsprint underneath the Greenspark on the back of my fry pan to see if I can get a light using flint and steel. Newsprint is easier to light than the firestarter, but it does not stay lit as long. I'm sure someone who knows how to use flint and steel would do much better with the GreenSpark firestarters and be perfectly content with them.
For a road trip, I got these as a backup fire starter. I put them to the test in the fireplace and found that they are just as good as, if not better than, comparable products. I'll also use them to start charcoal. Overall, it's a fantastic product at a great price.
We use them on our two Kamado Joe grills, our Weber Kettle grill, either of the two wood burning fireplaces, motorhome camping trips for firepits and portable grills, and our outdoor firepit. These little gems can be lit in almost any weather and will stay lit. Furthermore, they do not burn quickly, allowing them to properly ignite their surrounding materials (charcoal or wood) before they are consumed. I've tried a lot of different brands and types, and they all seem to have some sort of flaw (too many chemicals, burns too quickly, won't stay lit, takes too long to ignite, or gives too little for the price), but since switching to GreenSpark, I've pretty much given up looking for a better starter. We continue to order them from Amazon. My younger sibling- They're now in use at law's house and in his motorhome as well. Thank you so much for providing such a simple and straightforward solution.
