Fresh Super Cedars

hey all I received my fresh box of 72 Super Cedar fire starters. I bought a 36 box 2 years ago. I sill have 6 of those left! They are fantastic. I use a half SC in a cold stove and don't need to bother with kindling. I stick a dry piece of Silver Maple on top of the fire starter and then pack whatever else around it. Works like a champ. If you have em you know. If you don't you should.

 

Mr moderator, if this is in the wrong forum. I'm sorry. I didn't find one that fit it quite right

 

I'm I the only one that buys them naked?

 

Buying them without the wrapper do you have any trouble with humidity messing them up in the off season

 

No. They do shed some. We just put the remains in little boxes and use it.

 

nope

 

Did you by chance get the 10% discount MF ? I know Thomas was giving a discount last year and it is in the classified section. Not sure if it's still good for this year....might have to see if one of the Mods can reach out to Thomas if not.

 

I used FHC and got 10%..... At least I think it was 10%

 

How expensive are they?

I usually save burnables such as cardboard and news paper over the summer but I'm tired of the stuff taking up garage space.

 

The more you buy the more you save of course. But bank on around a buck a piece. I use a half every time I start a fire. Experts like backwoods savage Only use a 1/4. And since they work great. I think it's a hell of a deal. It saves me tons of time not making kindling. Because, you simply don't need kindling. Dry splits and Super Cedar is all I need

 

All you guys and your naked Super Cedars. I'm sure it's environmental. Sounds a little Freudian.

 

I just don't know that it gets any easier than with a super cedar. I use a 1/4 too....easy, peasy

 

Hmmm. I'll have to give them a shot. My dry pine is darn near match light. Unfortunately, we never have coals the next morning. I like to light the fire then go about getting ready for work. Just before I head out the door I stoke it up so the house is warm when my wife gets up.

 

Don't believe you'll be sorry

 

another 1/4 Super Cedar expert... I don't know maybe a 1/4 would work for me too. Never really tried. Heck I might just be an expert and not know it

 

Got a box of the FHC labeled ones late last season. Only had a chance to start one fire so am looking forward to fine tune the process. The 'no kindling' startup is my goal. There are lots of posts on how to use them, going to search for ideas. Never too old to learn something new.
