Bought one packet of these to see if there any good.
Definately will buy more! One stick is all you need to assist starting your chimnea fire.
Basically the sticks have a natural oil in them which helps them to light up quickly; they then burn brightly for awhile enabling paper sticks/logs/kindling etc to fquickly follow suit .
For £2.95 we got about 10 evenings wotrh of fires lit!

PS No nasty smells , just good clean wood burning smells! (Posted on 15/07/2011)
