The Sweetfire Strikeable Fire Starter is not only sweet for your gear collection, it's sweet for the planet. Made from a sugarcane by-product called bagasse, this key ingredient is already used around the world as a renewable biofuel. Each of these match points (there are 20 per box) is infused with vegetable wax to allow for up to 7 minutes of burn time per each point. There's also no need to bring matches to light the Sweetfire as each match point has a strikeable tip that can conveniently be used with the striker on the box.

FEATURES

  • Made from sugarcane waste — Bagasse is a fibrous sugarcane by-product and is used around the world as a renewable biofuel.
  • 20 individual ‘Points’ conveniently connected & ready to break-off and use.
  • Each Point burns for 7 minutes each.
  • Strikable tip, can be used with striker on box, eliminating need for matches.
  • Infused with vegetable wax, UCO Sweetfire is good for the planet & great for every adventure.


Product Specifications

  • Burn Time (up to): 7 minutes
  • Package Dimensions: 6" x 1.125" x 5.5"
  • Weight: 4.9 oz. (82 g)

 

USING MATCHES

CAUTION: For outdoor use by adults only. Carefully monitor lit matches until completely burned. Store extra strikers in protective sleeves after use to keep dry. Store matches separately from strikers to prevent accidental ignition.

 

PERFORMANCE TIPS:

  • For lighting a match, it is ideal if the striker is a firm surface which can usually be achieved by just closing the box.
  • If striker and box become wet, the striker will still work, but needs to dry first so that the surface is once again firm. Use a spare striker until then.
  • If matches become wet, just wipe dry before use.

 

SAFETY TIPS:

  • Strike away from the body or in a downwards position. Be careful of bystanders.
  • Be careful when striking the match since sparks can fly off the igniting head.
  • After using the match, run it in water to be certain that it will not light anything else on fire.

Simple, Easy to use. Lasts a reasonable time too

I got some of these based upon an older Dave Canterbury video. These work surprisingly well. They burn for about 4-5 minutes so plenty of time to get a fire started and build it into a good heat/cooking source.
Will buy again.
One thing though the Mini Infernos are also an excellent method of fire starting. The difference is with these "Fat Match Sticks" they are strike able so a complete combustion source. Give them a try and you will find they are a great item to carry.
Cheers
MAKE SURE these are kept dry until use

Best fire starter stick

I started using the UCO Sweetfire fire starter sticks this season. They have become my primary go to for starting fires. I've used them in wet conditions and in winter without fail. I've used them in alpine conditions and in the damp Smokie Mountains in the springtime. One stick is all that you will need to get the job done. This has become an essential fire tool for me.

Great Product

Great item for my fire kit. I love this stuff. When you strike it like a match, it explodes into a flame. Let it burn for a minute and make sure the tip is charred. Spark it with your ferro rod and now you have an ember. Smash a little bit of unburned particles and hit it with your ferro rod. It will flame up. I started 3 fires 3 ways and I still have half the piece left for later. I got a bunch of it to make sure I got mine. Totally pleased and satisfied with this product.

Great for camping

Bought this product and used it this past weekend while visiting a sugar shack and rustic cabin with my family in Quebec. These are fantastic at helping to lite wood stoves or fires with less than perfect material. I keep a box in my camping haversack as part of my kit. Note, this would not be my choice for a buyout bag or bushcraft setup; too heavy. That said, a couple separated and put in a sure fire set up with striker could be helpful. Once again, really good for wood stoves and fireplaces where setting up the ideal fire lay can be cumbersome.
