Amazing quality and volume of Fatwood. Lights so easily and consistently.Can split into smaller bits for ease or just use a bigger stick and shave of tinder as required.Excellent- thanks.

These are as good or better as any other I bought on Amazon and cost less. They are the right size and easy to light, burn long enough to get the oak firewood burning if I do my part and stack the wood properly. There was a mistake in the amount shipped vs what I ordered and they instantly sent out the extra box. Couldn't be happier. 5 stars.

I have been buying this as a firestarter for years. This was delivered quickly and works perfectly, an excellent product.

This stuff really works fast and burns hot (heavy with pine resin.) You can stretch it out by splitting each piece into splinters and shavings. You can easily start a fireplace fire with just one of these sticks by shaving it into a pile of shavings and small splinters and scattering them amongst your regular kindling. They catch fire instantly and burn brightly and hotly, helping your other split wood to start burning.For the past several evenings, I've built fires with two large pieces of wood, a couple of handfuls of smaller, dry wood scraps and only part of a piece of fatwood.You get well over 200 pieces per box, each weighing 30 to 40 grams.UPDATE: Still have LOTS left, after more than a year - and we use our fireplace quite often. It definitely helps to shave each stick into splinters AND to use well seasoned (and dry) wood and kindling/scraps.

So fatwood is made from the stump of pine trees, left to sit, pushing the resin into the stump, then it is split up into little pieces of "fatwood". It's all natural, if you care for that sort of thing and produces a strong flame. There is also a thick black smoke produced by the resin.So at first when I got some fat wood I just threw a couple sticks and tried to light them. They lit, after about 3 minutes of continuous flame. "damn" I said and tossed them aside for use as a fair weather firestarter (no marketing could pull that off, even today) thinking they were kind of crap, unless used with another, more easily combustible firestarter. Then I saw another review on Amazon complain of the same thing and in the comments section someone said "take a knife and shave of a small pile of shavings". So I tried it, and it worked like a charm! Take one stick, take a knife and shave a small pile of shavings, gather them up and place the remaining piece of fatwood on the shavings (place another, complete stick on as well for a stronger flame) and the shavings will ignite in before the sulfur burns off of an eco friendly strike on box match. That's really nice. The shavings proceed to light the remaining fatwood piece. One stick, partially shaved will light half of a chimney of kingsford charcoal and two sticks (one partially shaved and one full piece) will light a full chimney of lump or briquettes. A campfire ranges from 2-3 pieces.Where the problem lies is in the directions. It will tell you to simply light them whole and they will ignite "instantly". This is not true. Follow the method outlined above (and many, many other places) and you will see this is the best fire starter. It's not as convenient as, say, a little paraffin cube but they are much cheaper and just as effective. Wear gloves, as it is wood and can give splinters and the resin is also quite sticky. It supposedly can light even when wet, which most firestarters claim. I've never needed to test that, but I imagine the resin would repel the water from saturating the wood so it would light even when wet. Try it out, try "the method" and I think you'll like it.
