The Lightning Nugget firestarters promise a foolproof way to start a lasting campfire, even if you’re dealing with damp tinder or kindling, according to reviewers. These easy-to-light pellets are made 100% from natural wood, so you don’t have to travel or deal with smelly lighter fluid; just don’t forget your lighter. They’re designed to have an unlimited shelf life so they’re clutch for emergencies. Plus, they burn for 15 minutes.
As a heads up, per the reviews, these do have a little learning curve if you haven’t used them before but one reviewer shared their method: “…here’s the trick: use a lighter and hold the flat edge of fire starter at a slight angle into the flame,” they wrote. “Hold it there until it gets a small flame going. Keep holding the fire starter a little longer being careful to not burn your fingers. Then put it in the fire ring, add some small kindling and there you go!

“The Firestarters worked great and were easy to light, the flame was strong and high enough to ignite the kindling!” —Anonymous
