Cape Cod Fire Starter

Comments about Cape Cod Fire Starter:

Instructions say to use kerosene which I have and it works great at less cost. It starts wood in the 2 inch range with no problem. Nothing else needed. The only draw back I've found is the lack of a place to put the hot rod & rock to cool before putting it back into the flamable liquid.

I have been looking all over for one of these! I needed to replace a worn out one from years ago. Finally found it and just what I needed. I will be ordering another for a friend. This is the only place on the net I have found one of these.

We searched several companies for this particular style fire starter. No one else we searched still carried this item. It works great. One thing is for sure kindling is required as it is not a large enou long burning ball to light a full length fireplace or Woodstock log. For us the handle could be a little longer as we are using it in our older model wood stove. I would recommend it to anyone who has a fireplace or wood stove.

I have an old cape cod lighter that I was looking to replace when the container started to leak. This stone isn't porous enough, and thus doesn't soak up enough oil. It's hard to light and keep lit, and it doesn't stay lit long enough to get the fire going.

I'm going to use my old stone, but it's hardly worth the price just for a vessel that doesn't leak.

My son loves it. Uses it for his mountain wood burning stove.
My husband still uses paper..what a mess. I love the idea of not having to save and have to use crumpled papers.

Thanks for carrying this product; I have been trying to find one for some time. Shipping was prompt.

I've seen these in the past at friend's houses and was trying to find something of equal quality. Unfortunately the two that I ordered as gifts arrived and did not meet my expectations. The pot itself is sturdy and seems well made. The lid however does not fit very well and tends to slide around the top of the pot. The handle for the pumice stone is too short and gets hot very quickly.

I purchased as a gift for my son. He said he has not had much luck using it to start fires in his fireplace.

I have a Gas Fire place and I needed something to cover the gas line and cut off valve. This is perfect. Did not need the oil, it is strictly decorative Very Happy....

We have a wood burning stove which we sometimes fight lighting so I thought this would be a great solution. Unfortunately, ours had a leak and we ended up with lamp oil in many places we did not want it. We also had a hard time storing the wand after using it in the fire place as it was hot and potentially oily. I was really hoping it would work out.
