Cape Cod Fire Starter
Light a Roaring Fire — No Kindling Required!
The Cape Cod Firestarter is a piece of
Yankee ingenuity from the days when wood
fires were a necessity. Simply fill the cast iron
pot half way with Lamp Oil (sold separately) and let the pumice stone soak. When lit, it will burn for about ten minutes — plenty of
time for the fire to get going without kindling
or newspaper. Works the first time, every time.
Great for charcoal cooking, too. Portable pot with carrying handle
Ideal for the hearth, deck, summer torches and fire pits

This does burn longer than newspaper, but we still have to use newspaper to start the fire. This alone just doesn't cut it.

Comments about Cape Cod Fire Starter:
Don't send a man to do a woman's job! I tried this today, disappointed after having to write a negative review with all the positive purchases I have had with Gardner's. This works! and it works well. No, it is not automatic. It takes about 30 seconds holding the lighter to the stone. Yippeee!!!

I was thrilled to see this in the book, hoping to eliminate the firestarter logs. We let it soak 2 hrs, then overnite. No results. Disappointed

Comments about Cape Cod Fire Starter:
The Cape Cod Fire Starter looks nice sitting on my hearth, but I could never get it to burn. As per the instructions, I soaked it in the pot of oil for more than the required time. I used the oil that was shown as a link on the website, so I know that wasn't the problem. I thought the stone would ignite immediately, but I had to hold a match to it for more than a minute to even get it to catch fire. Then it would only burn for a couple minutes--not enough time for my wood to catch fire. I've tried it several times, but it simply would not work for me.
Pros
- Well made
Cons
