Hey Fossil- You talked me into A Lopi Liberty which will start for me with half a paper towel and a small handful of twigs.  I don’t know what you do with all your starters (somebody said hamburgers?) but you can have mine.

Hey Fossil- You talked me into A Lopi Liberty which will start for me with half a paper towel and a small handful of twigs.  I don’t know what you do with all your starters (somebody said hamburgers?) but you can have mine.

I can start either of my stoves with a good load of wood, largest splits on the bottom and working my way up with some smaller pieces to fill the box to the desired load, then a few pieces of splitter trash, 1/4 of a super cedar, and another handful of splitter trash sprinkled atop that.  Works like a charm.  Stovepipe temp is above 250F in no time, and the entire load burns right down into a great bed of red-hot coals ready for a reload.  No muss, no fuss, works like a charm for me and my stoves and my fuel.  If you don’t want your super cedars, then by all means send them to me.  I think they’re worth every penny.  Rick

Well it’s funny you say that because I was thinking about his post and have come to the conclusion that we, in fact, have different models of the Lopi ‘cause if I put two large splits on the bottom, as he explained, there is no room for anything else.

Either your 3.1 ft^3 firebox is smaller than my 3.1 ft^3 firebox, or your splits are a good deal larger than mine.  Rick

Thanks got my samples! Can’t wait to try them out. I am thinking it will be the “easy” way for the wifey to restart the fire in the afternoon when she gets back from work.

received mine and tried a 1/4 piece to start a fire.  all i have to say is WOW!!!  thank you very much.  i will be ordering more.  for the past few years i always had problems with smokey starts. i would put a firestarter in with some kindling, the fire would smoke like crazy for at least 5-10 minutes and i would get p’d off!  with these things all i had to do was put a 1/4 piece with some kindling, touch the super cedar off and shut my door and watch my pipe climb up to temp in no time!!!  with absolutley no smokey start. once again THANK YOU for the sample, i am very happy.

Got mine the day after I ordered (of course I’m somewhat local). I’ve tried a few fires with them, and can actually use 1/4 of a starter per fire and completely eliminate paper and kindling with dry wood! Amazing!

This is why i love them. no more paper or kindling grin

These things are great!  No muss, no fuss, no box of newspaper!  Which is great because I don’t get newspapers very often.  smile

Thanks for the free ones, I just ordered from the website.  Looking forward to starting more fires now!  :>
