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.

The Best of the best
Nothing on the planet can compare to the function of FIRESTEEL.

Pure fire
Enough for hundreds of starts. Small and innocuous. Great for survival kits in home or vehicle.

Great Products, Great Company
This magnesium is as good as any on the market for starting fires and it is better than most. I find it very consistent and easy to use. With the number of options available you can find just what you need for your specific purpose.

Excellent!
These are a good size and provide a great start to a fire. All of FireSteel products are the best. And the fact that you offer some with Lanyard holes and some without, scrapers separate, and plenty of size options and configurations make it easy to buy just what you need. This is the place to buy Magnesium or the Rods.

Does what it says it does
Lanyard hole is sized to allow 550 cord (Parachute cord) to go thru. The headline says it all.
