About Insta-Fire Fire Starter Perfect for Camping
Overall Feedback:
78% positive
86% appreciated its rugged durability, but 14% found it prone to rust
The product lights immediately and keeps the flame going long enough for kindling and wood to get a good light. It takes a couple of tries to get the hang of how much to use based on burning material and conditions.
The plastic chair completely melting indicates that the product may not be durable enough, which is a negative aspect of its durability.
After trying 1 ferro rod and 1 magnesium bar, I still couldn't ignite it.
I have noticed that it has a worse smell than any other fire starter on the market.

Before using this product, be well-prepared with sand, water, or access to a hose as it can be intense and requires caution.
It takes a couple of tries to get the hang of how much to use based on the burning material and conditions. However, the flame lights immediately and lasts long enough for kindling and wood to get a good light.
The product started the fire instantly and it stayed constant for about 10 mins. It was easy to get the wood fire again.
I used the entire packet but it was not able to get the coals burning.
82% praised for its reliable ignition, though 18% experienced issues in windy conditions
I poured a small pile of the grey colored sand below the wood structure to light it.
Last week, I tried using the product but it failed to perform its job. I had to switch to a different firestarter after using an entire pack that did not get my coals burning.
90% appreciated its compact size
I found this product useful while camping. I poured a small pile of the grey colored sand below my wood structure and lit it. Instantly a fire started and stayed constant for about 10 mins, easily getting my wood fire again. No paper or charcoal required. And no mess.
