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).

Just got my order of Super Cedars today (100 qty.).
So nice to come home and have an almost effortless fire! (No , I don’t work for the company…)
Great stuff.
I’m happy to recommend them.

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.

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

Yeah, I know that wood stoves are just space heaters. But the space I want to heat is my house.

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!!

Slick,

I would love to send you some samples and have you see the difference for yourself. Super Cedar will start much faster and burn cleaner. Our product is much lighter in weight due to our manufacturing process. We use less paraffin so our starters are oxygen rich.

yep, tried the super cedar sample today and it was GREAT!! if you’re looking for a starter this is a great way to go. But I must say as a poor grad student I may try some alternatives (like good ol kindling). But if money were not such an issue right now these would be a no brainer. I used 1/4 of a disk and it got the fire going no problem. Also, seemed to increase draft quickly on a not-freezing type of day.

Martel,
Thank you for bringing up a good point. The Super Cedar will establish a fast draft which can be helpful.

Long term member, mostly lurker. Sent away for my free samples, then ordered a large box based on the reviews here before I even tired the samples. Started my first fire with the cedar samples tonight. Used one, broke it into 4 peices by hand - I’m hooked! Loved it!! Easy, FAST, long burning, NO smelly fumes, NoO yucky smoke, and I barely used kindling. VERY impressed. I’ve used fatwood the past 2 years, more so last year. These were SO MUCH easier!!!!

THANK YOU!!!!

I tried my samples tonight in my fireplace and they worked great. I’m hooked. No new chimney install this weekend, my sweep got his dates wrong. Oh well one week to wait.
