As if by magic, these little bundles spread their fire to light the logs
As if by magic, these amazing little bundles light up and spread their fire to any type of wood, even the dense sycamore, which needs a hot flame to get started. I depend on them all winter and they’ve never failed. If you have a wood stove or a fireplace, do yourself a favor and keep these fire starters on hand. -
Fire Starter Kit
No more newspapers! 1 bundle, 1 match, Voila! -
Better than any other fire starter I know
These work great, light easily, burn long and hot. They probably work better than any other fire starters I have tried in the wood stove. The only 'flaw' would be that these are also more expensive than any other fire starters I know. However, when I place an order with Garrett Wade I can't help myself, but add a couple of these to my order as well.

my daughter-in-law can't start a fire without them. -
Sloppy handling
Several items came packaged together. Most were in good shape, however these had a Box that was damaged and torn. Interior had broken bundles of matches. Since the rest of the items were unharmed, It is clear they were shipped this way.

Great fire starter
I gave this to a friend who was always having trouble starting a fire in her wood burning stove. She usually just stuffed in a bunch of newspapers and hope for the best. She loves this product. -
WOW!!
These fire starters are the best ever! We live in Iowa, where we have "weather'" that sometimes makes starting fires in our firepit a challenge. I gave a set of these fire starters to my husband and he loved them so much I reordered them for his birthday. They were perfect for starting a firepit blaze to cook paella for 20 people -- steady burn, reliable. -
Great product, very good price!
Great product, bought them on two separate occasions for my son who is an avid outdoor enthusiast. Makes starting a fire easy. They work well every time and the price is great. All your products are first class and very useful. Good price points also. -
Best Ever!!
These are very useful, the best and easiest way to start a fire. We use them in the fireplace, in a fire pit and in a grill that we use at the beach. Even works in the wind! Do not have to deal with charcoal lighter and the smell that it imparts. -
I wish it would snow.......
It's 95 & humid right now, so I'll just believe that they'll perform well when I need them. Everything I've purchased from GW has been of very high quality. -
My favorite firestarters
These firestarters are excellent alighting a fire-- they last long enough to light even the most stubborn logs. And they also have a most attractive appearance both in the fireplace and waiting to be used beside the wood stove.

Great timesaver. Highly recommend.
This is the second time I've ordered these. They're a lifesaver when I'm away from the wood stove all day and need to get the fire going quickly upon my return. Even my husband (a fire-whisperer compared to me) uses them occasionally when he's in a hurry. -
The BEST fire starter kits I've ever found
These fire starters are WONDERFUL!! Just one lights our fire nightly with such little effort. Just as the description says, bury on in wood and walk away. Minutes later our fireplace is fully engulfed. Thank you Garrett Wade!! -
Oh, I've seen fire...
It's mid-December and the snow is falling. No reason to build an outdoor fire for a while but I had to sacrifice one of these bundles to satisfy my curiosity. The wicks, wood and wrap are all impregnated with wax, likely paraffin. The wood sticks are about the size of wooden kitchen matches. Touching the wick with a lighter brought instant flame which methodically moved into the bundle. As stated, it burned strong for about 15 minutes. There's a fair amount of wax that will drip over the course of the burn so you may want to confine this to outdoor applications.These will find a permanent place in my camping gear. It's hard to say if the bundles will melt a bit in the heat of summer so best to keep them stored separately in Zip-Lock bag or similar container.Thanks GW for an excellent product!

We'd like to add one important point to John's review. You can absolutely use this firestarter in the fireplace or wood stove.
That's what we love the most about it. And yes, that is paraffin.

The best fire starters I've found
These are the best fire starters I've found. They have never failed to get the logs blazing, even those that has been out in the rain. -
Fire Indeed
Fire Starter Kits come in all types of packages. Dry local debris from the campsite is the ideal type to use, however when your camping and its has been raining for days, this fire starting kit lit logs that I cut up the were actually green unseasoned wood. I was impressed. I used them in an emergency to cook my sweet sliced potatoes and dawgs. They worked fine... -
