I really like the Supercedars as well as the woodchip/wax ones my local Ace carries, but I'm also very cheap. I decided to make my own with the dead remnants of candles and hardwood chips from the chainsaw. Melted the wax carefully, added lots of chips until it was really stodgy - I was surprised by how many were needed, poured it out and let it cool.
I tried a section last night - it worked well, lighting it was a little trickier - it wasn't a great test as this was dry pine (!) and some kindling, but they performed in a similar way to my Ace starters. Pics below:
