Good product.  However, I have found that to have it execute optimally you need to have the packet elevated in a firepit or in a fireplace.  In fact, in my fireplace I still need to have some paper (newspaper) under the elevated grate to get the packet going and get the logs fired up.  This is not so much a criticism but rather a description of my experience.  Please note that this is the second time I have purchased this product because other fire starters are not as effective, thus this is in fact a recommendation.  Now, I suggest you get that fire both within you and outside of you started!
