I've been using pieces of duraflame log to start these fires too. I cut them off the log and form them into the size of a golf ball. Works well unless you advise it's not a good idea. Thoughts?
Have heard several stove shops recommend duraflame logs for break fires on not cat stoves despite saying clearing the label to not use in woodstoves. I used 1/4 of a duraflame (or generic) starter log all last year with no issues. I did switch to fat sticks because they give more coverage in the box and seem to get a fire going quicker.
