Better Wood Products Fatwood Firestarter Box, 2-Pounds

I think they may be too sooty for a fireplace chimney. They put off quite a bit of thick, black smoke.

These Fatwood sticks worked phenomenally and revolutionized how I build fires. I went through a frustrating episode of trying the "teepee" method over and over again, using chemical-soaked fire starting bricks, newspaper, twigs, whatever was available. About the same time I turned to Fatwood, I learned the key:To build a successful fire, the logs need to be stacked like a pyramid, not a teepee. See the attached picture for an example of what that looks like. Put down the two base logs, stick a Fatwood stick or two between them, light the Fatwoods, and then put the 3rd log on top. It will take longer to start blazing than your typical fire, but it's a guaranteed success. I've never seen a fire built that way NOT light.I was always taught growing up that you needed to provide adequate oxygen flow. What's more important is trapping the heat, although that runs contrary to the oxygen provision concept. But fires tend to suffer more from losing heat than having inadequate oxygen. Crazy, right?Also, this concept is very scalable. Throw on more logs, and as long as they're still in that pyramid setup, they'll light up fine. Get these Fatwood sticks and the days of searching for tinder, or using newspapers, or blowing on a fire hoping it'll start, are over.

These are the best fire-starters! Love them, buy them over & over!

This is exactly what we wanted for our outdoor firepit. We needed to start our firewood without using paper.We only used 2 to start our fire using hard pine wood. Very happy with how quick it started

I love these little fire sticks. The light easy & are a super easy way to start a fire. Whether at the camp site or living room the fire is blazing with these hot sticks.And she likes them too!!;)

Arrive quickly and in good shape. After placing the fatwood at the bottom of the wood pile, and lit it, it started it’s magic! Works every time!A natural alternative to fire starting fuel.Definitely recommend this product and seller

Add two or three of these to your fire setup and your life will get much easier. They start easy and burn hot enough to start the other kindling.

I was told by a friend about this Fatwood, and that they were better then buying the little bricks that you have to pull apart and get gunk all over your hands. He was so right, it is just as easy to start a fire in the fire place with these, and I do not have the mess, or the smell to deal with. The price of this box of fatwood fire starters is a better deal as there are more sticks in this box then there are bricks of the other products. I also love the fact that I am not getting a bunch of chemicals all over my hands, so after handling I do not have to be careful in what I do until I can scrub my hands clean.

Good box of fatwood, I would say 70% is good wood other 30% is not the best.. but all in all I would buy again if the price is right..

i am returning product as box looks old and tattered. product inside was 90% full and appeared to have been through the mill. completely dissatisfied.
