Had an older model from this same company from 2001, it finally stopped working and replaced it with this model. Works just like the old model; has a few more features that allow for precise adjustments throughout the week. Nothing bad to say about the product, hope this one works as long as the older one did.

Programmable thermostats come in handy, but central heating doesn't provide the same cozy warmth of a gas fireplace. The Programmable Fireplace Thermostat/Remote adds the convenience of a programmable thermostat to your gas fireplace. Program the system to turn on at specific times on specific days of the week, or set the timer to enjoy the fireplace for a limited time. You'll even be able to use the included RF remote control to manage the unit from up to 20 feet away! The Programmable Fireplace Thermostat/Remote system was developed to provide a safe, reliable, and user-friendly remote control system for a gas fireplace. The system can be operated using the thermostat or manually from the remote. Additional features include a child-proof lock. If you don't need the programming feature, try the Fireplace Thermostat/Remote instead (sold separately). This unit has all of the features of the programmable system except the scheduled heating.

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.

Gobspark Firesteel with Super Scraper and Lanyard Review

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. :)

Ultimate Survival Technologies BlastMatch Fire Starter Review

Ultimate Survival Technologies BlastMatch Fire Starter
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I use ferrocerium rod based fire starting heavily. I start my charcoal grill without paper or starter fluid with these rods. They work well - if you know how to use them. They will not start a charcoal briquette directly for instance.
This product has a great idea behind it - to start a fire using gross motor skills, one handed. This means that if you are hurt, cold and tired you can still use it. Great idea.
The problem is, the plastic case is weak and in cold, brittle. I have had two of these in less than a year. The first died after being dropped on a rock while I was on a light day hike. I took it out to show it to a buddy, and with my butter fingers, dropped it. The case cracked and the spring went awry and the whole works came out. Busted. Now the ferro rod inside still works, but only two handed now, one hand to hold and the other to scrape.
Get it if you want it but I'm hoping for a more Murphy proof. I figure that a survival tool should handle a dolt dropping it more than once.

Liberty Mountain Magnesium Fire Starter Review

Liberty Mountain Magnesium Fire Starter
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
For me, the idea of this kind of a product is to give you fire in an emergency. You are out there on a fine Spring or Fall day, for example, and the weather takes a sudden bad turn on you. Or maybe YOU have taken a bad turn and have to spend the night instead of getting back home or into camp on schedule.
I have started fires at one time or another using most popular methods (including this one) - and in all kinds of weather conditions. When light and heat are fading fast there are better, faster ways to light a fire. Most obvious are matches or lighters - but matches get wet and strong winds can easily snatch a flame. So you want a good reliable backup. But in my opinion this is not it. A big fire-steel or Spark-lite Kit are much better backup options.
Though it sounds good in theory, using these mag-flint style starters is a lot more cumbersome than it needs to be.
The first problem - for me - is getting that dime sized pile of magnesium shavings to stay in one place. This can be a challenge, especially in strong winds (or even if you are just breathing heavy).
Second is that shaving it down takes extra time that is not needed using other methods. And in the same vein, cold numb fingers (common in the situations where you really NEED fire) and the extra knife work of shaving down the magnesium is an accident in embryo.
Last but not least - it is a misnomer to call the magnesium shavings "tinder" (as some manufacturers of these products do). It is more like a super-heated match head and burns out about that quickly. Try lighting your kindling off of that magnesium alone - particularly in bad weather conditions - and chances are you will have to try again. That could mean an extra 15 or 20 minutes before you have fire (5 or 10 minutes preparing some REAL tinder plus another 6 or 8 minutes shaving down your magnesium).
Apparently a lot of people really like these and you CAN start a fire with them. But the mag-flint fire starters present some problems that other methods do not. If this is your main back-up plan for fire-starting, practice a lot with it ahead of time. You might even want to shave down some of the magnesium ahead of time (enough for half a dozen fires maybe) and carry it with you in a small bottle or film cannister.

Windmill Classic Stormproof Lighter Review

Windmill Classic Stormproof Lighter
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've used Windmill Stormproof lighters for over 10 years. When they are working, there is no lighter I've ever had that works better. They are light, compact, easy to fill in the clear models and throw a very hot and directed flame. They are windproof enough that I've lit cigarettes on a motorcycle.H
However, and this is a biggie, they are very poorly designed for reliability. The hinges will break. The lever that opens the top will break. And sometimes they just won't light. This didn't used to be a big deal. You could just send it off to the distributor and they sent you a new one. Now they want to charge you $7.50 for each return and you get to pay the postage to ship it to them. Not much of a "Lifetime Warranty" since that almost certainly covers their cost. Bye-bye Windmill.

Lightning Nuggets N50VBOX Firestarters Box of Fire-Starting Nuggets, 50 Count Review

Lightning Nuggets N50VBOX Firestarters Box of Fire-Starting Nuggets, 50 Count
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have used the brick type fire starters up till now, usually breaking them into thirds. These almost always worked well in my wood stove, lighting 6 inch diameter split logs with no kindling.
These seemed to be too small and too light to match that performance. But they are at least as good as my previous fire starters, needing no kindling to start fires in my stove. I place two split logs parallel to each other with an inch or two between them where I place one of these fire starters. On top of these I place one or two more split logs at an angle. So far only one fire starter has been all I need to get a good fire going.

Quickly and safely start any indoor or outdoor fire, in any season, with this box of 50 fire-starting nuggets. The non-toxic environmentally safe pine-scented nuggets have an unlimited shelf life and feature a blend of highly resinous, pulverized pitchwood sawdust and food-grade paraffin wax. Best of all, each nugget lights easily and burns strong for 15 minutes minimum, which means it only takes one round-shaped nugget to start the fire--no need for newspaper and kindling or messy lighter fluids or gels. The fire-starting nuggets leave behind no residue and can be safely used in fireplaces, fireplace inserts, wood stoves, and pellet stoves, as well as in barbeques and campfires. They make it easy to enjoy a nice fire without the hassle of getting it started. They also make a great addition to an emergency kit or backcountry survival kit. Made in the USA, the fire starters come in a box that measures 10-1/5 by 5-1/5 by 4-4/5 inches.

Three years ago I bought this lighter, and recently, the fire coil broke off, so I ordered another one. Then I realized the original was guaranteed for life, so I called Essential Gear, got a return number, and sent my broken lighter to them, even though I hadn't bought the original from them, a fact I told them. The new lighter arrived and worked great, and two weeks later, my old lighter arrived, fixed and at no cost. I use this lighter on the golf course in high winds, and never have a problem. With a lifetime guarantee, it just can't be beat, and I can't say enough about Essential Gear's great service.

Zippo Outdoor Line Emergency Fire Starter (Orange, 4.50 x 4 x 6.25) Review

Zippo Outdoor Line Emergency Fire Starter (Orange, 4.50 x 4 x 6.25)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This little thing rocks. I have a full collection of fire-steels and tinders, fire-starting materials, etc. I have probably 20+ different ways to start fires, and this is one of my favorites. The tinder sticks light easily when fluffed, and burn plenty long enough to ignite your sticks and what-not. The case is very solid - very Zippo. Its weight feels slightly heavier than a regular zippo lighter. There is an o-ring type gasket around the opening where the lid closes snugly.
Compared to the spark lite kit - i'd say this has a higher quality feel to it, and the container seems more water-proof. On the downside, it is considerably heavier than the spark lite kit, and less 'modular' - One can achieve a more compact and lightweight kit with the spark lite by putting just one or two tinders in a small baggie with the striker. The zippo's striker does come out, but it's not really meant to be carried around that way.
This is a solid, reliable product and i would recommend it to anyone.
