Burning MagnesiumUsing a knife or firesteel scraper, simply scrape the soft magnesium tinder rod to create a pile of magnesium shavings. Spark your firesteel onto these shavings, which will catch on fire and burn very hot. |
Note: magnesium rods only => scraper and firesteel shown in the pictures are sold separately.
This Metal Burns!
Simply scrape off a small pile of magnesium shavings using your knife or FireSteel.com Super Scraper.
When you apply a flame or spark from from your favorite FireSteel.com FireSteel, the magnesium shavings will catch on fire and burn at more than 4000 degrees F (2200 degrees C).
This extremely high temperature makes magnesium an excellent tinder for helping you start fires, even with damp kindling.
Your soft magnesium rod is naturally waterproof - will stay dry even if dunked in water.
Configure your magnesium tinder rods in the following ways:

Notes about FireSteel.com Magnesium Rods:
- Price shown is for one magnesium tinder rod - a picture may show two rods for the purposes of scale.
- The US Penny, flat silver scraper, firesteel and other accessories in pictures are not included. Only the magnesium tinder rod is included. (Don't laugh. We've had people ask.)
- The Magnesium Tinder Rods do not create sparks. Magnesium is used as a tinder to help catch your kindling (firewood, etc) on fire. You will need a source of sparks to catch the magnesium itself on fire.
- FireSteel.com Super Scrapers or Palm Scrapers to help shave your magnesium are sold separately.
- The FireSteel Blank Rods, FireSteel with Lanyard Holes, Square FireSteel, and GobSpark FireSteel that will make the sparks to ignite your magnesium also sold separately.

Best Mag Rods I've ever used
I've tried most of the mag rods out there... the friendly swede, doans, and a bunch of cheap knocks offs... and I kept coming back to these. Shaves easily and nicely, takes a spark quickly, and seems to burn hotter and longer than the rest. I personally feel these are the best out there...

mag rods
Disappointed after reading ads. The two I bought take 5-9 strikes to catch and then burn out immediately. Mostly I have to try several to many ignitions before one slowly catches and stays lit. No flame up just smoldering under the top layer. Not very soft, comes off in tiny scrapes no sizable ribbons types. I'm no novice and use ferro rods, mag shavings and powder for years. Got some real no name cheapos that are real soft, scrap off big ribbons and light first time every time. Unfortunately, can't recall where i got them. Will use these two but it's a lot more work for less than I was lead to believe. Won't buy again. FireSteel.com Response: Hi, George.
