Non-Toxic Waterproof Fire Starters with 5+ Minute Burn for Emergencies, Survival, Campfires, Fire Pits, Grills - Made in The USA - 30 Pack

I am impressed with these fire plugs! To put it to the test i fluffed it up then placed one on a slab of ice and allowed it a few minutes to sit and get wet. It was also a windy day but despite the elements I got a flame after 2 strikes from a small ferro rod. The product burned well with an impressive flame. I timed the plug and it lasted easily for 8 minutes alone. Since they are so compact and light I keep them in my vehicle, go bag, and even a couple in the brim of my hat. I should also add that they don't leave any oily stains on materials. I will be purchasing more.

It takes a few seconds before it starts burning with a Bic lighter. These fire sticks are only good for a fireplace or camp fire.For out in the bush and get a fire going fastThis product is useless. It also produces a lot of soot

This is perhaps the best fire starter medium I have ever used. I was able to light it using a ferrocerium rod and striker. I had cut a plug in half before testing and it burned hot and consistently for just over 3 minutes.I wanted to test if it would actually work when wet so I soaked the other half of the plug in water for over an hour. It floated the entire time ( a nice bonus if you were to drop it into a lake or stream). It was very wet when i took it out of the water so I fluffed it out exposing some of the individual strands. Using the ferrocerium rod I tried multiply time to ignite the plug. It would spark and try to start but quickly sputter out. I fluffed it open just a bit more and tried again and it immediately ignited and started burring. This half also lasted 3 minutes. So the trick is to make sure you really fluff up the plug, especially when it is wet.The plugs smell nice with a faint almost sweet scent and come in a sturdy resealable pouch. I have put several of the plugs in each of my fire starting kits and can heartily recommend this product. (Full disclosure. I cannot verify the claims of nontoxicity as I did not actually consume any plugs)

Really great product. Gets your fire going fast and easy.Even when wet. Don't leave home without them !

Tried these and the BlackBeard ones to try. These unroll a little easier and fluff up a little better. Both seem to light easy and burn about 5 minutes. You only get 30 as opposed to 50 of the BlackBeard. The BlackBeard may be a touch better in the wimd. Either or,,,, bout the same
