    That looks like fine prime hand crafted artisanal kindling.

    It's the "artisanal" that makes its special...You go my friend! Need to work out an add on deal for the 8 splits for $5.99 for kiln dried I see at Kroger. I'd say drop your price to $4.99 for the kindling, bundled with the 8 splits and split 50/50? Newbs and campers cant light the splits without it...Its the major win-win...2 hr fire for roughly $13 bucks...

    I've got one too.

    They used to be made right here in NZ, but I see on the website that manufacture has moved to Australia. Never mind, good to see a Kiwi company doing well on the other side of the world.

    I mounted mine on a block with screws, then I cut the bottom out of a 9.6L (2.5gal) plastic bucket and mounted it upside down over the top (i.e. with the flare at the top). It keeps the kindling from falling out.

    Very cool! :thumbs: Just had to YouTube it to see what it’s all about. Here’s a thought.... mount it on a tapered stump and make a hanger on each side for a milk crate and boom! Instantly fill kindling crates! :D

    Dat vun is KEEN-DA-LING KA-RA-KAR. Is deeferent. Is betterrr. Not product of capitalist imperialist system of oppression. Product of glorious people's collective genius.
