We just buy those was/sawdust bricks. They come in boxes of 24 bricks. We break each brick into three pieces...so we get 72 starters per box. Cost about 10 cents per piece. That 1/3 piece will start full size damp logs without the use of any kindling.

It doesn't smell, uh, poopy. Actually, it kind of smells like punks. Remember those sticks we used as kids to start firecrackers? Kind of looked like incense sticks? Smells about the same, maybe a bit like sandlewood.

(And as for the shiny paper, it used to have lead in the ink. Now, to the best of my understanding, the inks are all soy-based, so no danger of lead poisoning.)

Happy Burning!

Punks and incense for that matter are made from camel dung. NO Joke! Then scented.
