Comments about Firestarter Gift Set:

I have not used these yet since it just hasn't been cold enough. I was a bit surprised that the bucket was small but is packed with contents. I am anxious to see how long the supplies last.

Love it!

Comments about Firestarter Gift Set:

I loved this set and am counting down the days til I can use the firestarters. In the meantime, I have transferred all the contents into a rustic basket that sits on the hearth. I am using the pail to hold river rocks we've collected. It all adds a wonderful, warm touch to the family room.

Comments about Firestarter Gift Set:

Bought this on sale, so it's nice for the price. This will make a nice gift at Christmas. Packed full of stuff and the bucket while small is cute. Once it is empty the bucket is nice for other things. I kinda like that it's small so it will fit in anywhere.

Comments about Firestarter Gift Set:

I was glad I paid for this while it was on sale. Its pretty small and the bucket itself is oval and not round like it looks online. Which isnt a big deal except once its open the items dont all fit. I will be using this outdoors in my firepit, and since its in the high 90's I havent tried them yet...cant imagine lighting a fire in this heat. But I am sure it will be fine once the temps cool down in the fall.

Comments about Firestarter Gift Set:

This stuff works very well. There was not enough of the fat sticks and pine cones, I went through them rather quickly but the fire starters are great, I didn't even need kindling with them. The bucket was smaller then I thought but I bought it on clearance so wasn't too disappointed.

Comments about Firestarter Gift Set:

I enjoy cooking outdoors. I have had a gas-fired bbq grill for several years, which is rather simple to use. Recently my wife gave me a "Big Green Egg", which uses wood charcoal and offers great alternatives for cooking or smoking foods. The first time I used this new grill it took me quite a long time to get the fire started taking a lot of the fun out of the event. Then I saw the firestarter set in your catalog and decided to try it. WOW! What a difference! I followed the very simple instructions for using the nuggets and in less than a minute I had my charcoal going. I've done it a couple of other times recently and have obtained the same reliable performance that I got the first time. This last time I also tried a piece of the pine 'fatwood' and this was just as easy and reliable as the nugget and in addition it imparted a great 'new' taste to my meat. Just great!

Comments about Firestarter Gift Set:

I got this fire starter kit just in time to start a fire in my fireplace for Christmas. Everyone enjoyed the pine cones with colors in the fire. I wish there had been more of them in the pail. I also wished the pail were bigger because when I unwrapped everything and used some they all wouldn't fit back in the pail.
