Lightning Nuggets N100SEB Super Economy Box Fire Starter , Tan Brown, 100 Count (Pack of 1)

Bought these to use with our indoor wood burning fire places. These starters are fairly easy to light and get the job done to really get the fire going. One starter is sufficient to get the fire burning. I compared a number of similar starters across Amazon and I think these were the best value considering how many come in the box.

These work amazing. This is 5 minutes after lighting, flue is open all the way and door is shut. Firestarter will burn strongly until the bricks are fully caught up in flame. We use Bio bricks and the combo makes starting fires quite simple and mess free. The small footprint makes it easy to store the whole box close by. Repeat customer of these!

These are the most reliable fire starters I have found in decades of using wood-burning stoves. I settled on using the Rutland squares long ago, but these burn longer with a larger flame. I don't need kindling, just dry wood. Poor reviews appear to be caused by the units getting crushed or wet.

A winter must for our fireplace. This product makes starting a fire so easy, we use it daily and will continue to repurchase. Works well and they are easy to store because of their small size.

This economical box of fire starters from Lightning Nuggets performs very well for most fire-lighting needs, though some inconsistencies hold it back from a perfect score. 🔹 Strong Ignition and Versatile Use The product shines when it comes to lighting fires quickly and reliably. Whether for grills, fireplaces, or wood stoves, these nuggets consistently produce a solid flame. Users appreciate that just one nugget is enough to get a fire going (page 2). 🔹 Clean, Safe Burn Made from recycled wood and food-grade paraffin, these starters burn cleanly and are safe for ceramic cookers and indoor fireplaces. They are also safe to store and transport, with a shelf life of over 15 years (page 2–3). ✅ Pros: Lights quickly with minimal effort Burns long enough to ignite large logs Great value for the quantity (100 count) Safe, clean, and long shelf life ❌ Cons: Some customers received mixed-size pieces in the box Occasionally requires kindling or paper to assist ignition Packaging could be sturdier for storage Overall: This is a reliable and cost-effective fire starter solution that’s ideal for most household and outdoor fire needs. With a bit more consistency in shape and better packaging, this would easily be a 5-star product.

Excellent product. I have stubborn wood, but 2 of these small pucks and I have a raging fire every time. Product price is decent for the amount of fire starters you get in the package. 10 out of 10 would recommend!

I have been using these for years since we first got our wood stove insert. The installer recommended them and gave us a sample to try. Although I have tried a couple of other brands since then, these really are the best. The other dark brown ones that I have tried tend to get a low flame as they start to be consumed, which makes them less effective. These seem to maintain a high flame longer. In case you can't tell from the photos, I believe they are primarily wax and wood shavings. They are fairly solid and I do not crumble them. The half-dome shape would make breaking them a little bit awkward, so I just set one in the fireplace and light it. I put a little wood under them, set the nugget on top of that, stack more wood on top, and then light it. They typically burn for about 15 minutes, which is more than enough time to get some kindling well lit. Value is good, particularly since I never have to use more than one to get a fire started. Regarding the "Super Economy Box," they come loose in a cardboard box with a plastic bag lining it. I keep a supply in a clay container near the fireplace and I just refill that from the box as needed. In the past I have purchased smaller boxes from a brick & mortar store on clearance in the spring and kept them for two years, and they still worked fine. That said, for the big box, I will make sure to keep it closed tight. I have never been able to detect an odor, possibly because if any odor is coming out of the fireplace it is usually going to be the wood burning. I have never seen any kind of residue; it just all burns up. The only issue I have with them is that using matches or a traditional lighter, it does take several seconds to get them started. With a regular lighter, it always worked best to ignite it near the flat top (I put them in with the round bottom facing down, the flat edge on top). However, I recently found that using a small butane torch lights them in two or three seconds, and with the torch, it does not seem to matter where you point it.

These fire starters work perfectly. Stack the wood correctly, position the starter at the base, light the starter, adjust the draft, and your fire will be warming the house in short order. Fifty years of Idaho mountain winters with wood heat only and these fire starters are the best and simplest we have used.
