Plow & Hearth 10 LBS Fatwood Fire Starter Sticks Organic Kindling, Easy Ignition Fat Wood, All Natural Firestarters for Fire Pit, Wood Stoves, Fireplaces, Campfires, Bonfires, BBQ

This is 100% natural, smells absolutely amazing and lights fires so easily and quickly. I use 2 pieces each time and it aggressively lights seasoned oak split logs. I'll be purchasing this from now on because it's such a valuable product. I tried fire plugs and sawdust/wax fire starters and in my opinion your wasting your money. This is expensive but lasts so long and works so much better. The smell is just awesome and I absolutely love that it's 100% chemical free and natural. This is the remains of old dead pine trees that died decades ago and being used for excellent purpose in starting fires. I'll never buy a different fire starter for my wood stove again. Thank you plow and hearth. I 100% recommend this product and will continue buying 40lb boxes. Bought another box and for some reason this stuff burns way better and is a world easier to start. Burns so hot and lights instantly. It also came in a completely different box, idk what happened but I'm glad it did. The first box had a few handfuls that don't wanna start like it's just pine wood. This box is loaded with resin soaked chunks that when held to the light are translucent and shiny. This box is a way better product than the first. I hope I keep getting this product because I'm a fan for life. I mean that!

This is the best fatwood. Easily the best firestarter I have ever found. I buy the 40lb box every year. It is a bit pricey but definitely worth it. It lights very easily and creates a nice roaring fire in a very short time. I especially love that it is a natural and non toxic product. Highly recommend!

Once the wood gets burning, it puts off a good amount of heat. It’s easy to get started in. It’s high-quality wood. It smells good when it burns definitely worth the money! It’s fun to burn and one of those mini stoves. Works well and it lights up quickly.

Easy to start fires. Works fast and is great quality.

First, I have done business with Plow and Hearth for years, several stove installations. Between our primary home, second home, and two shops we have 5 stoves and 3 fire places. Averaging 8 cords of wood. Aspen to Post Oak. I often re-split the wood as I buy it in racks. Easy for the lazy to hide big pieces in it. Three of the stoves, I made and have smaller than average openings to load wood. I have never thought the fat wood was too smoky. Since I re-split I collect the "splinters" and save by wood pile. Two pieces of fatwood with a handful of the other never fails. I use a propane torch to kick it off. My homemade stoves have burned for a week with the ash removal system I built in. Ash out, coals saved, wood added and good for 10-12 hours. One has a re-burn chamber and it is a wonder. I copied a Jotul design. It holds 32" inch wood. I also use a band saw to cut the fat wood down to 4" with zero problems. Building the fire is key to starting easy. All stoves are different. Make sure the air coming in blows on the kindling pile in many cases, it can be deflected over the top of pile, use your splinters to make a little platform. I have 7 kids and we make pack trips in the San Juan National Forest annually to fish. Every one of them could build a fire from flint and steel by fours years old. So, I have studied fire behavior long time. We do cheat a little by using cotton balls heavily coated in vaseline. A container the size of an old 35mm film canister will make about a dozen fires. Anyway, I got off track a little, recapping, Plow and Hearth is excellent for more than just this fat wood, many of the gripes I have seen on here strike me as pilot error rather than product. I do wish Amazon would use a more standardized way of pricing like a per ounce price and ditch the cubic/volume method. It is difficult to price compare. AND clearly mark the items that do not have free shipping. Last, remember the trick of cutting them in half. That is all, Cornbread.

I've purchased Plow & Hearth fatwood probably 5 times over the past decade and had great success. But this last 10 lb box I got is barely fatood.... just kind of like kindling with just a little pitch. I get it is a natural product and going to have variance, but this seems beyond what quality control should catch. Still giving 4 of 5 because I've had good luck the other 4 times i ordered.

I’ve been using these fire starters for several years now and there is no way in the world that it would take “30 sticks” as one reviewer wrote to start a fire unless you’re trying to light a pile of soaking wet wood! I now burn compressed wood blocks to heat my house and I can start a fire using only 4-6 sticks at most, I do use a propane torch with Map gas, it comes in a yellow cylinder instead of the green, the kind that plumbers use not the type with tanks and hoses. Those useless butane clicking lighters can barely make enough heat to start a ball of paper. The difference is I can start the stove using a few sticks not 30 and they will make more than enough heat to get a cold stove going as they burn very hot even though they are smoky while burning and they last plenty long enough to start a fire. Using 30 of these would cause an inferno unless they have them laid down flat and away from each other. Doing it this way they are NOT following the instructions about laying them crisscross each other and overlapping them. There is a HUGE difference between the two when trying to start a fire from scratch. In short they work great if you follow the instructions. There is a substantial difference in price when you buy them out of season like during summer time as opposed to the fall.

Not easy to light, but really gets the fire going once lit. I heat with wood and these great fire starters

Swear by it - use it at home and at the cottage - makes nice easy work of getting that warm glow going

It has some kind of fule that bring out black smoke. Will not buy it again

Excellent product, easy to use and a sure start to a bonfire every time. The seller was excellent to deal with and quick to ship.

i use this product for extreme weather fire starting.I live in the heart of Fat wood country.Can not seem to find a canadian product in Canada
