Since the Wet fire tend to expire it seemed like a good candidate. I am serious about begging for one for Christmas. I can see so many uses.


A little late for this order, but if you like them and have an ACE Hardware in your area they carry them. They're around $5 for a 24 pack. They come sealed in a plastic "ice cube tray" type thing with foil over the top. The packaging is probably sufficient for sitting on a shelf but taking a tab out threatens to unseal its neighbor. No big deal I guess if you're using them to light your Weber but not good as a survival tinder.

For storage of the bulk packs I've been vac sealing each tray. I then pack them into pouches of 1, 2 or 3 cubes for carry. Typically with my old sealer I used 2 or even 3 bags to ensure redundancy. With heavier bags I probably won't have to do that anymore.

I've started a lot of fire with those Weber cubes! I like them a lot.
