Jillian: We ordered these for cooking pizzas in our outdoor kitchen ans received a pine-scented box. Pine and pepperoni anyone?
They work as advertised. Several are needed at a time.

Amazon Customer: Decent product, burns ok. You may need 2/3 bulbs to get things going. Still rather inexpensive overall.

PyramidPyramid: These need a good source to get them lit but then they do the job quite well!
By a good source I mean something more than just a match works best. At my home I use a handheld butane lighter, or a propane torch simply because they work quickly. A match or two will light them in good conditions but takes a bit of time and patience. Once lit however these nuggets provide a very good flame and seems to last 10 or 15 minutes. While camping, I use the hand lighter (yellow thing in photo) and never have had an issue with time to light. The flame is hot enough to light whatever you're trying to set on fire.
These are all I ever use.

Bill M.: I use them for lighting the fireplace each evening. I light the edge of one nugget with a lighter and place it in the center of the hearth and then arrange four pieces of wood around it. Two pieces are placed in parallel up against either side of the burning nugget and then two are laid on top of them crosswise so the flame rises up the middle. Works every time.

Liam: Works best with a 'wind-proof' type of lighter to get going, but as soon as just a corner lights it's good to go. Best to let the whole surface light before stacking any wood in (about half a minute) and then it's about 10 mins of full flame. The results are awesome.

Sarah: If I were to describe these lighting nuggets in one word, I would say that they are impeccable.
To start off, I work in the bakery section of a restaurant. We have two shifts for the bakers who work there; the opening shifts and the closing shifts. Whenever I work, I am always scheduled to be the opener. In the restaurant, my job as the baker is to make pita bread and manakeeshes in a wood oven. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to start the wood oven. Since the oven is not electric or a gas oven, it has to be started my scratch. I would have to get pieces of wood and put it in the oven, and then light up newspaper then throw it in and hope for the best. This normally does not work on its own so I would have to take kindling and throw it in to see if that catches fire. I would have to repeat these steps over and over again until the fire not only starts but it is steady. If the fire starts then dies down, I would have to go through the process again.
This method was the way I started the oven everyday, but I was very tired because it was not only exhausting, but very time consuming. I usually start my shift every day at 9am but I would have to come for 8am because...

Andrew: I use these to light my charcoal bbq. I had been using BGE branded lighting blocks, but these work just as well and are significantly less expensive. Two caveats: 1) the bbq will smoke quite a bit more just as it is finished lighting as compared to the BGE blocks and; 2) these nuggets are made out of wood shavings and are a little messier than the lighting blocks, but this has never been a problem because the shavings stay inside the box.
