(More customer reviews)
We used to use this product every winter since we have 2 wood burning stoves. But about 2008 they must have changed the ingredients and now they are very hard to light, don't stay lit easily, are very hard to break apart, and to separate, and compared to how they used to work, they are now a useless product. I wrote to Jarden Home Brands to tell them the product is now inferior but they did not respond, apparently not caring about customer satisfaction. Don't waste your money. This is a formerly great, user-friendly product that the manufacturer has ruined by making it with cheap ingredients. I'm looking for a better product elsewhere.

I never had used any kind of fire starter other than paper and wood chips, and I have a gas starter in my fireplace too. I much prefer these fire starters. They are cheap (I only use one per fire) and they always light easily. My husband is even successful and he has problems with other methods. We couldn't be happier!

Landmann Fire Starter Review

I use these to start fires in our fireplace this winter. They work very well. They burn hot and last fairly long. In almost all cases, I can start a log fire without any kindling. This assume that the wood is dry.
I find that you typically need 2, sometimes 3, packets to start a large stack of wood in a firelpace For a small fire, like a campfire, once should suffice.
I will be buying these again.

Brunton Striker Review

Brunton Striker
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased this product after using my son's Light My Fire Firesteel. The Brunton product is harder to get a good spark throw from than the Light My Fire brand. Primarily because the steel does not have a "sharp" edge. There are triangular notches cut out with ridges on the Brunton model meant to "bite" into the "flint" but I found these not very effective. In fact the steel snapped in two when trying to strike using this method... The good thing about that is now the striking steel has a sharp edge and makes striking a spark much easier and throws the spark further!
If you are thinking about buying one of these I still would suggest you buy the light my fire brand...it's not much more $ and it's just a better product.

With the long-wearing Firesteel of the Brunton Striker Fire Starter, a hot shower of sparks is never far from hand. The Striker's ignition steel and a stainless striker replace less-dependable methods of firestarting, so you'll always have a way to start a warming, cooking, or signal fire, even if you took a dunk in the river. Firesteel is good for thousands of uses, but we hope you don't have to bring it out that much.Product Features

Aviation Survival Firestarter Review

Aviation Survival Firestarter
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I tried this type of fire starter and I'm just not impressed. You need a good knife to make shavings with, and then if you aren't careful you need to sharpen the knife. The sparking rod on the top doesn't really give you a shower of sparks either. Once you get your shavings lit it does ok, but it's more work than it's worth. I'd look into the Swedish FireSteel instead. Much better product, more sparks and no knife required.

Swedish FireSteel Scout Model (Red) with MayaDust Review

Swedish FireSteel Scout Model (Red) with MayaDust
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this for an emergency survival kit, but like all of my gear, I don't just buy something and throw it in a bag for later use. In an emergency is the worst time to try and found out if something will work. So I always give my gear a test run. Here are the results:
The first time I tested this I was initially impressed. I set up a small amount (maybe a half a golf-ball size) of the tinder into a little bowl sort of shape on my concrete patio. Scraping the firesteel created a good shower of sparks. Took probably a good 15-30 tries before a good spark caught in the tinder. Cupped the whole thing with my hands and blew very gently to increase the oxygen. Voila! Combustion. The weather was about 50*F, very little wind, and mostly dry, late afternoon.
Second time was more realistic. It was 38*F out, 5-10mph wind, and damp air; even a little nominal drizzle. Results were less than stellar. The firesteel again created an impressive shower of sparks, but the tinder failed to ignite despite over 100 strikes. Final option (I had resolved to NOT use matches or a lighter) was to get some cotton balls out. A good four or five cotton balls made a nice bed into which to scoop up and "nest" the tinder. This time in only 5-10 strikes, a spark hit cotton and spread to the MayaDust.
Now, keep in mind, I grew up in scouting and have a good number of fire builds under my belt, including mid-winter camp-outs in the far northern states. I would not want to solely rely on the MayaDust for tinder. It gives a bit more "beefiness" to the cotton, but is not in and of itself a great tinder, especially for the price.
Essentially, MayaDust is fatwood shavings in a plastic tin. For this price plus shipping, you can get a 10 lb. box of fatwood sticks from a hearth & home store, make your own sawdust and put it in a tobacco tin.
There's no problem with the FireSteel and I would highly recommend it to anyone who doesn't want to rely on matches or a lighter to start a fire. But don't waste your time or money on the MayaDust.

Light My Fire TinderSticks Review

Light My Fire TinderSticks
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I got some of these Mayan Resinwood sticks and a magnesium fire starter at a Sporting Goods Show a few years back.
Shave a few splinters off the chock-full of resin sticks, strike with the magnesium striker, and you have a campfire going quickly. If you have trouble finding burnable material, one of the Mayan firesticks will burn strong and last quite a long time. They came in handy more than a few times on damp and wet conditions while camping with my sons' Scout Troop. These Mayan sticks are FAR superior to Georgia or Alabama fatwood. I bought mine in Tennessee!
The snuff-can package has the shaving part already done for you, but you'll need additional tinder if you want your fire to last.
They are also great to keep in the car with some tinder and matches for those 'just in case' situations.

I would not again buy the combination of Swedish FireSteel Army Model (Red) with MayaDust. The Swedish FireSteel Army Model works well once a strip of the black paint is remove. The MayaDust is dry, but cottonballs with the lower half dipped in Vasoline works mush better. In this I mean cottonballs normally catch fire on the first try and the MayaDust is difficult to light. Also I was hoping the tin the MayaDust came in a tin made of metalm so the fire could be struck in tin's lid and then places under small tinder sticks, as was the historic method. The tin is plastic.

Gobspark Firesteel with Super Scraper and Lanyard
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Pick up a Gobspark steel and you can pretty much ditch the rest of your fire gear. This bad boy will give you an impressive shower of superheated sparks, guaranteed to light your tinder easily.The handle is at once simple and ingenious, allowing you to aim your sparks more accurately than with any other steel I've used. When the chips are down, this 'steel will get the job done, every time. And you won't find any better company on the web (or in the B&M world for that matter) than [...].
If you want foolproof, keep some 100% cotton balls with you. Smearing them with petroleum jelly will turn them into backwoods napalm. This will always light, and burn for five minutes or more. The beauty of the firesteel is it doesn't have to stay dry, it doesn't need fuel and it doesn't run out. Well, maybe after several thousand fires. After that I'll gladly spend another nine bucks to light a few thousand more.
This 'steel won't let you down. It's never failed me no matter the conditions. Five ***** only because I can't give more. :)

This is a high value item! I bought one at Wal-Mart, it didn't come with a striker, but I just used a 2" piece of hacksaw blade. I recommend to anyone that has this produce to find an old hacksaw blade to snap off a striker and attach it to the chain. Another thing, if you are carrying this you should carry some emergency tinder. I recommend a 35mm film cannister filled with either lint from the clothes dryer lint trap or cotton balls soaked with vaseline. Both will ignite on the first spark, it will make a believer out of you, trust me.

I purchased this product for a survival kit that I have for teaching Scouts and for my personal use. IT WORKS. What more can you say about a product. Used it for a class I taught for the, "Wilderness Survival", merit badge and the young men had a great time using the flint and steel to start a fire. Used the Mayadust just to show them how flammable it is, but used shaved, "fire sticks", to show them how to do this if you have to and do not have Mayadust or other commerical products available.
