They work perfectly to complement my firekit

Comes in miniature ziploc style bags (*not* what’s shown) and current packaging style DOES let the fuel smell through the plastic. I had the original that were packaged properly and they didn’t smell at all. These? These are going to smell wherever you put them. I double/triple bagged them and they seem ok for keeping in the odor. The utility of these is unmatched — they work incredibly well and it’s worth the fiddling IMHO. But I do wish they’d get their packaging thing fixed. Original packaging (what they show in photos) was much more durable too.

Mir würde die Ware schnell geliefert aber die Verpackung schaute anders aus aber das ist egal ich habe 12 in eine Packung pestellt und die habe ich erhalten. Deswegen 5 Sterne

This is one of those items that you really learn to love. My area of the country tends to be a little on the wet side and sometimes firestarting can be a little tedious, we pretty much get a 40-60 percent chance of rain along with every summer day. These things work everytime and they burn for quite a while. I have not actually timed them but they burn for long enough to get wet tinder going and thats all i care about. My only complaint is that for what they are they seem a little pricey, but i get over it. They are NOT wind proof. the pieces are so light weight that they tend to blow everywhere with the slightest breeze, but with the proper prep this is not an issue. They are however completely waterproof, and will burn floating in a cup of water…..I tried, it works. Great product.

The UST wetfire in the white packaging is what you want. It is lightweight, small, individually wrapped in strong thick plastic and sealed well. Works extremely well and does not have any odor.
The yellow ust wetfire packages are garabage. The packaging must be eco friendly because you can pretty much see thru them and Im sure a strong wind could open the individual packages. Wouldnt know for sure tho because every individual package in the 12 pk was opened along the whole back seam. No shelf life for opened packages. Whether thats from the machine not sealing them right or from them just popping open from the weak plastic packaging in transit is anyones guess. And lastly, even if the packages were sealed, the amount of petroleum these were doused in is overwhelming and unlike the white ust wetfire packages. And the weak see thru yellow packaging does not keep any of that smell in the package. Once you touch the package your hands reek like you just spilled aladdin heating oil all over your hands. Just ridiculous and nothing you would want to take with you, especially hunting.
Oh and the yellow cubes are 3-4 times the size of the good ust wetfire in the white packaging too. Not bad, just not as lightweight and easy to travel with like the ust wetfire cubes in white packaging.
Yellow packaged ust wetfire = horrible
White packaged ust wetfire = good, its what you want

This product is excellent. Living in Canada I have been able to test this product in all weather conditions and it has never failed me. I have been able to get a fire started in heavy wind, rain and snow. If you are consider an interior camping trip bring this with you. Works best if you shave a bit off of the cube and then place the cube in the centre of the shavings. One spark from a ferrocerium rob and you are in business. 5 stars

I took this product on a hiking trip and used it to start some fires at my campsite. The key to using this product is to get all of the shavings in a small pile that you can easily get sparks on. I used a ferrocerium rod and striker, and it worked wonderfully.
Again, I can’t reiterate how important it is to make sure that you have the shavings of this fuel in a pile where you can get sparks directly onto. You need that extra surface area, and once you get sparks on the it should catch very easily.
All of this being said, all of the wood and fuel and kindling I used was very dry, so I cannot speak as far as using this with a wet fire. I will update my review if I ever come across a situation where I do use this to start a wet fire.

I have to give this product 5 stars because for one thing they aren’t that expensive. Most other products will be on the verge of expensive, but this wet fire solid fuel was great for the job. I did wet it down a bit, and simply scraped off a little bit and boom, fire. I like the fact that even a little tiny piece of this will burn nice sized flames, I mean literally a small little piece can start a fire. It really only took me 1 spark from my Ferro rod and I had a perfectly hot bright fire. I tossed on some wood shavings then some bigger pieces and before I knew it I had a big warm fire.

My wife bought these the first time and I griped and said it was stupid and unnecessary. That said I have never not been able to get a fire going even in the rain. But man oh man these things let me be lazy and always work first time. Plus I use them backpacking and they are super lite! I admit it. I would spend 5-10 min and brake up the twigs getting the perfect kindling and staging based on size to nurse a hard to light fire. Sometimes even having to use my knife and shave wood to get dry prices to start with. But this stuff is so easy and fool proof I seriously can just lump a bunch of sticks in a pile light this unde them and walk away. It’s truly taken any skill necessary to light a fire and tossed gas on it. Lol. I’m hooked it’s to easy and cheap not to use them.

Between this and the swedish fire steel, I really wish I had this stuff when I was a kid camping…
Been having rain and flooding in this area the last few days (and 5 tornados in this part of the state two nights ago) so everything outside is wet, wet, wet. So I pulled some junk from around where I was putting in new grass after landscaping (have a lot of straw laying around) and played with the fire steel and one of these, to test things out. It took me a little bit to get the best motion on the fire steel, but when I did, and used some of this to start things off, I was amazed at how well it worked.
Got it started well, and it was a consistent and hot enough blaze to quickly dry out the straw I had near it that started wet, and was able to get that going, and eventually a decent little fire, despite everything starting out wet when I first hunkered down in the back yard.
So if you’re a camper or just someone who loves doing campfires, this is a great product.
I saw reviews with people talking about vaseline and cotton balls and such, but for me, my time is well worth the buck or whatever one of these costs. Its not like I’m doing 5 fires a day and it really does become a noticeable savings to make my own, so I’m more than happy paying for a product that is this good at doing what it says it does.
