Fatwood Slabs
Important note: these are not fatwood "sticks" - these are FatWood SLABS™! Just oozing with aromatic resins, sticky with pitch, and ready to start your fire.
If you are looking for cheap imports and dry pine sticks posing as fatwood, look elsewhere. This is the real deal.
Fatwood is an excellent tinder to attach to your FireSteel so that it is there when you need it! Fatwood is naturally waterproof and contains flammable resins that help ignite damp firewood.
These fatwood sticks are not like the stuff you find elsewhere - mine are much bigger, thicker, and of higher quality than the thin strips and mill cast-offs that often pose as fatwood. When you need a fire you can depend upon this fatwood tinder. Enough for many dozens of fires.
Each Fatwood Slab is unique but the dimensions are between about 3/4 and 1-inch thick and 4-inches long. This is a HUGE piece of fatwood. More importantly, this fatwood has plenty of natural firestarting resin. You can smell the rich piney resins, the stuff that starts your fire. This is the VERY BEST fatwood on the market.
Much of the fatwood on the market comes from South America and is usually quite "dry". This inferior product is just about as good as dry pine posing as fatwood.
FireSteel.com fatwood is harvested by American loggers right here in the USA using sustainable forestry practices, FireSteel.com FatWood is widely used because of its very high quality.
These big slabs of FatWood are full of juicy resins that easily catch fire. Each slab has enough FatWood to start dozens of fires.
FireSteel.com FatWood Slabs are hand selected for superior fire making tinder properties. Hand-split to about about 4-inches in length and between 3/4 to 1-inch square - each piece is unique.
A 3/16ths inch lanyard hole has been drilled into one end of your FatWood Slab so that you can easily attach it to your gear or FireSteel.
To use FatWood as a tinder, simply scrape it with your FireSteel.com scraper or knife to produce a small pile of fine shavings. Then scrape a spark from your firesteel onto the pile. When you have a flame, add your regular tinder - even if this tinder is damp the fatwood fire will cause it to flame.

Excellent fatwood
Posted by Firenut
Burns exceptionally well. Starts easy, and stays lit for a long time. I mix some magnesium shavings with fatwood shavings for a quick and effective fire starter.

A fire kit basic
Posted by Ross F.
I've been using "pine knots" to start fires for years. These Fatwood slabs are loaded with resin and start a fire with ease. A waterproof, light weight, and a safe fire starter. A must for any bug out bag, or trip into the great outdoors.
Put a couple in your fire kit!
Fast delivery too.

Smoken !

Best fatwood I've found yet. Used it several weeks ago and 8 degree weather with flint and steel and charcloth. Worked like a charm. The predrilled hole is a good idea. I have mine hanging off my haversack so its right there to start scraping and shaving into my tinder bundle.

I have never used a better product to start a fire.(besides gasoline haha) But this Fatwood is fantastic. This Fatwood burns like a candle wick when you shave a few little pieces off. I will definitely be ordering more. Thanks

When I have trouble with a waxed cotton ball or lint ball, I just put some scrapings off my fatwood slab on top and hit it with the GobSpark - voila! Nice slab of fatwood - good for many, many fires.

Small amount, quick fire.
Posted by Dave-Sonora Desert
Shaved enough to cover a quarter. Fatwood had been rained on. Two strikes from Gobspark Armageddon and fire was lit.
