After being at the wood store I've been seeing these new fire starters one was a golf size ball you light... got me thinking if anyone is using them or is paper the best and easiest for the cost. I've always just used paper with no problems...

I get about 300 pcs per box. I use one or two starters and sometimes some crumpled news paper paper. Add some pieces of pallet wood, light it all with a propane torch, works every time.

At all of my public appearances, I'd be wearing the Jotul logo, as required by my multi-million $ contract. Autographing the heat-resistant gloves of my fans. Perhaps like Tiger Woods, I'd fall from grace by "enjoying the temptations around me".

After it cools completly I set it on the stove for a minute until the 'cake' is free from the pan. Then I turn it over on the basement floor and score it with a chisel and break it into 1-2" cubes. One or two of these and a few small splits and I'm making heat in no time.
My wife goes to A LOT of garage sales and brings home lots of old candles from the 'free' box. Just make sure you pick the wicks out of the melted wax or the make the whole thing fall apart when you try to cut the cubes.
I think Thomas would want to endose someone that can spell the name of his product correctly. If he endorsed me, I'd use 3 quarter pieces of Super Cedar fire starters.ChillyGator said:I splurge and use two 1/4 pieces of SUPERCEDER firestarter

I didn't have any small splits available tonight so I used two halves of a Super Cedar and four large splits. Talk about a start-up. Wow!
