FATWOOD FIRE STARTER 4LB (Pack of 1)

good

The fatwood comes in a burlap bag. And every four pieces of fatwood in the bag are separately bagged in individual, hard to open, plastic bags. Not ecological, not sensible, absolutely a pain.

These are perfect for lighting my wood stove every morning. I have ordered more but would like to be able to order larger packages or in bulk.

I teach a survival skills course and use fatwood as a recommendation for all survival kits. I couldn't get my regular brand and tries this. Just don't buy this as there are much better products out there. But maybe I just got a bad batch.

I've been using fatwood for years to start a fire and this product is good stuff. Here's some useful tips to using this so you get the best use from it.1) You don't need a lot as long as you're using basic fire building rules (start small with tinder, then kindling wood, then bigger wood... etc). One or two is usually enough. You can make tinder out of this or use it as the kindling. I prefer using something else as tinder (a paper towel, shredded cedar bark, bit of newspaper, etc.).2) Try and increase the surface of the stick. Break it up, shave pieces off it, something like that, so that the flame has lots of area to catch on. This is more if you're using it as tinder instead of kindling but it helps either way.3) Don't hold it while it burns. It's full of sap, some may bubble out, and you do not want hot sap on you.That's it! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do!

I love this stuff. It works great for starting up the barbecue... Used my striker to start up a fire, it worked pretty well, smaller pieces would have worked better.
