Michelle H: Everything seems fine so far. The product was not damaged when it came in the mail. I have not needed it so don’t know how well it works.

frank: First, they work great.
Unfortunately, I had to use them for a woodstove chimney fire.
Here is what I learned.
I have no idea what the instruction " drop along side fire " means.
Do some people have tiny little fires in their woodstoves?
There is nowhere in my stove that is not on fire.
I threw two in and watched them burn.
Stuffed a rag in the air intake, used a dry chemical extinguisher on one small spot ( you will never put the fire out in a woodstove with an extinguisher ) got a small spot out and put my other two chimfex sticks in. That put the chimney fire out.
Next time, I bought 36 Lbs of baking soda and put it in 6 , gallon size ziplock bags. I will throw the bags in, they will cover the whole woodstove. Fire will melt the bags releasing the baking soda. Even if they don't put the whole fire out they will put enough out so I can throw in the chimfex. I don't want to dump the baking soda from a bucket because the door would be open longer and feed a lot of oxygen to the chimney fire.
As for the problem everyone is having trying to figure out when they expire, in the old days, they printed the manufacture date on the stick. Then they printed it on...

Anthony E.: I hope I never have to use to especially because they’re no date of manufacture on them. I saw some review that have them and I order two and neither of them do. They don’t have a forever shelf life so idk if these are duds and when I go to use them god forbid they don’t work. Kinda bs. One box was all destroyed too and looked old.

Kent V.: I heard about Chimfex from the guy at the store at which I bought my fireplace when we built our house. I bought one and stored it away near the fireplace. That was more than 20 years ago. Last year, we had a chimney fire. I ran outside and saw flames shooting out of the top of the chimney. I went inside, told my wife to get the dogs out and call 911 and I grabbed the Chimfex. It strikes like a roadside flare. Took me probably three strikes to get it burning. Placed it in the fireplace and went outside to shoot water up onto my roof. The fire was out in about 45 seconds. Firemen showed up about 10 minutes later. They were shocked there was no fire. They had never heard of Chimfex. If the fire had continued, they would have chopped a couple of holes in my roof and poured water down into my house. Thanks to Chimfex, I had absolutely no damage to my house, (except my chimney cap may not last as long as it would have, it was glowing red during the fire). If you have a fireplace, buy one.
