Fire Paste

Just picked up a tube today, and tried it in my backyard(which I hate because it's a breeding ground for things that bite). First I tried spreading it onto the stick, which worked very well, but the flame died out in about 10sec. Which is still pretty darn good if you've got everything ready. Second I just globbed on a 1inch long blob of the paste onto some bark, and it stayed lit for well over a minute. Great stuff, and the amount of heat it omitted was nuts. Definitely worth using when everything is damp.

Sounds good. Very Happy

Have you tried mixing it in some cotton? Very Happy

I had a friend that had some it works good. He would make i line of it on dry tinder & away it goes.
There is another product Bob. Its called { Ecoflame } fire starting Gel. Can be used indoor as well.
Non Toxic & Earth Freindly. It is made from natural sugar cane alcohol. Cool

Flashlightfreak- I'm pretty sure if this stuff works on damp tinder, it'll work on dry cotton as well. In fact I should try it once I get home.. it should go off like a bomb. Laughing

Dave, I looked up ecoflame gel, and it looks like a candle type canister fuel system. Looks like I'll have to search a bit in the stores, but if I do, I'm going to use that product from now on as an alternative fire starter.

Ya Bob they sell it at Canadian tire. And there is as small can type contaner, you pop the top off & lite it.
It burns for 4 hours, and they sell it in a shampoo type bottle, its a refiller basically, and thats $ 7.99 Cool

Damn.. U.S. citizens would be damned to have something called "Canadian Tire" over here. It's a shame too.. I guess I'll have to try some other places. I think I saw a Gander Mt. over near a job site where I work. I also want to find a Bass Pro Shop.

Oh well... Sad

Still good stuff, though. Very Happy

That doesn't mean they haven't made it inedible...99% chance that they have added something very unpleasant to the gel..denatorium maybe? Basically it's sterno goo with ethanol instead of methanol.

I found a similar product at a Bed, Bath, and Beyond next to the sternos called Swiss Fire Gel. $7 for a half liter of 95% ethanol gel and available to US members.
