  • Winter fires without the fuss - Lay one square under your logs, strike a match and sit down. These fire starters light a wood burning fireplace, wood stove, insert or chiminea straight from cold: no newspaper, no kindling, no fluid and no smell in the room. They still catch when the firewood has been stacked outside in the rain, which is why a box earns its place in the log basket next to your fireplace accessories and wood stove accessories from October through March.
  • Burns six minutes, wet or dry - Each block is water resistant and holds a steady flame for about six minutes, long enough to catch damp logs, a full chimney of charcoal briquettes or a stack of kindling wood without you crouching over it. Rain, snow and a soggy woodpile stop being the reason a fire will not take. One square does a normal grate; use two when the wood is genuinely wet, when it is below freezing, or when you are lighting a large outdoor fire pit.
  • Nothing but wax and sawdust - No petroleum smell, no chemical taste and no residue left in the firebox. These natural firestarters are odorless and unscented, so a steak, ribs or a brisket taste of smoke and seasoning instead of accelerant, and a living room does not end up smelling like a garage. Nothing to pour, nothing to spray and nothing to wipe up, which also makes them the safer thing to hand to someone else to light.
  • 160 pre-cut squares in one box - Snap off what you need and put the rest back. No chopping, no measuring, no preparation and no half-used bag falling apart in the cupboard. At one or two per fire that is a full heating season indoors plus a summer of grilling, from a box that stores flat on a shelf, in the garage or in a camping bin. A tidier way to keep a fire starting kit topped up than fire starter sticks, fatwood or starter logs bought by the bundle.

Easy to use, effective
Size: 50 Count
These are really easy to light, they have a lot of frills that catch and start easily. I use these in an indoor fireplace and keep reordering because they make starting a fire so much easier. When I light them, I don't even need kindling, I just make a small tent with the smallest logs on hand and it's up and burning in about 15mins. I wish these were a little bigger, but at the same time, other products are too big and I ended up breaking the bigger bars in half. ... show more

Work Great!
Size: Fire Starter Squares
I love, love how easy these start, how big the cubes are and how easy they are to get started. I live in an area where I use a wood stove to heat my home, and these are worth the price. I tried another brand because I was being cheap, and I regretted it. I will stock up during the next Prime Days.

did the trick for a great campfire
Size: Fire Starter Squares
These light really easily and were able to both help us get a campfire going as well as re-stoke it when we had some air flow issues. They're definitely effective and a great thing to have along on camping trips.

Simple and Effective
Size: Fire Starter Squares
This is a reasonable firestarter. Catches well and burns hot and long enough to light larger pieces (both wood and charcoal).

LOVE
Size: 50 Count
I’m on my fourth box! I absolutely love these! They burn long enough to get the wood started and usually always works. I accidentally left mine in the rain and they still lit!

Simple to Use, Works Well, No Flare Ups!
Size: Fire Starter Squares
I barbeque quite a lot throughout the year, rain or shine, and have just gotten tired of using lighter fluid for my charcoal. Not only is it getting more expensive, but I just hate having that smell of burnt fuel all over the neighborhood and even in my house. I tried using newsprint to light the charcoal, but that was not necessarily a better solution. After looking around for some paraffin cubes to use as a fire starter, I came across these fire starters from Melt Candle. They are a combination of heavy wax and wood waste pressed into small squares. You just break off one square from a pre-scored sheet and light it with a match. They light easily and burn for 7-10 minutes before being consumed. Water doesn't seem to affect them and I have successfully started my BBQ in the rain. They are not entirely odorless when burning, but are much better than the name brand lighter fluid I was using before, and I can't detect any unusual flavor in my meats. Sometimes I could taste the lighter fluid. These things are ideal for starting charcoal, taking camping, or keeping in your emergency kit. The squares cost about 10 cent apiece. My lighter fluid cost probably 3 times that per fire, so these starters are one of the better bargains out there. Overall, I really like these fire starters. They are easy to light, burn long enough to start a decent fire, don't flare up, are waterproof, and super convenient for camping, picnics, or emergencies. Recommended! ... show more

Melt Candle Company Fire Starters
Size: Fire Starter Squares
I've been using a wood stove for years. I used to start my fires with newspapers, which works but sometimes allows smoke into the room. These fire starters are excellent, and the best way to light a fire. You get 160 in a pack at an excellent price compared to other fire starting products. I never got them wet so I can't rate them for how they repel water, but for the money, they are definitely the way to go. Cost effective, efficient, easy to use, works every time - what's not to like? ... show more
