2 out of 5 stars A Novelty Item at Best   January 7, 2010

I agree with other low ratings. There are several other things that can be used as starter fuel for fires. Two of mentioned else where that I have found better are: cotton balls and plain old dryer lint. Soak either in petroleum jelly and you have an excellent starter fuel.

When purchasing Mayadust I expected some type of wood shavings like fatwood or another naturally resinated product, not a thin plastic "snuff box" of pine sawdust I could have swept up off of my workshop floor. I originally thought the $4.50 purchase price was reasonable, but when you add in the seemingly high shipping cost, it makes this product not worth the money.


1 out of 5 stars Works, but get magnesium   March 17, 2009

This stuff works as advertised, but sadly, it is glorified kindling. Whatever tree they felled in the pristine jungles of the Amazon died needlessly.

You're better off getting a block of magnesium for around the same price and much greater efficacy. Or if you're not starved for space, some cotton balls soaked in vaseline. Works just as well for a much lower price.



4 out of 5 stars was wrong review   February 11, 2009
Carmen Volio (aldan, pa. United States)
I have meant to say that I thought the shipping of the product wasn't as good as it should have been not to disparage the product or the people who sold it
