I recieved my sample within days of asking, tried a 1/3rd piece in my cold stove tonight and all I can say is WOW! I used no kindling, just 2 medium splits 6” apart with the SuperCedar Firestarter inbetween them and then criscrossed 2 medium and one large split on top. I lit the edge, left the stove door cracked and sat back and watched. A few minutes later I shut the stove door, a little later I damped the flue - no paper fly ash, no babysitting a fragile kindling fire and no opening the door to add bigger and bigger pieces. This is a terrific product that works as advertised and makes life easier - I’ll never chop kindling again! Will be placing my order directly.

Sorry you weren’t too impressed

Hi Thomas, I too received my samples. As soon as it cools down here I will try them out! Thanks again.

Jeez all these hearth.com members with samples are making me curious, these super cedar firestarters must be pretty awesome.

Everyone is welcome to samples. Just email your shipping address to .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) and they are on their way.

Are these safe to use in modern wood stoves, like a jotul oslo?  I know the answer is yes, I just would like to know more of the why.  Will the wax clog secondary system?  Does it burn too hot like construction wood?

I didn’t know they were free for EVERYONE!!

Sweet, email sent.

Thanks

Senor Frog, We have had extensive testing done on the Super Cedar Firestarters by Sud-Chemie Prototech and MDE Engineers (a Fire Forensic Lab.) They found that the Super Cedar Firestarters in no way endanger the life or activity of the catalytic combustors tested and that the catalyst actually performed better when assisted by the Super Cedar Firestarters. While we have not had testing done on less restrictive stoves such as those with burn tubes the information pertaning to catalytic combustors should apply to secondary burn systems with less critical requirements. The Super Cedar Firestarters reach a peak temperature of 1200 degrees F. within three minutes and it is our unique blending process when combined with a minimal amount of highly refined paraffin that creates an oxygen rich firestarter. The Super Cedar Firestarters are made from 100% recycled materials, are non toxic and will not leave any residue. Documents and/ or samples are available to all at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).

NW,
Is that a “Super Cedar” in your avatar?

Marty, yes that is about three to five minutes after being touched with a match.

Great stuff.
I’m happy to recommend them.

I got mine yesterday and cant wait to use them. If all goes well tommrow my new wood stove and chimney get installed.

EH need an inspection?
I will be golfing with your building comish tomorrow

I think we need to private label a couple hundred thousand with Elks picture - and with some choice words on them….like:

Permit or Burnit

Install to Code - or say Goodbye to Abode

Learn or watch your house burn

......could do better, but that’s right off the top of the head.

How would you lable this picture

I would say Elk still has not painted the plywood - but has golfed plenty and drank a lot of brew.

There is clear wood preservative on that plywood I like the natural color

SUPER CEDARS ROCK!!! Truely impressive! I touched a match to the starter for approx. 3 seconds. It caught and within 3 minutes was producing a flame that was about 10-12 inches high. It burned for 28 minutes! INCREDIBLE!!
