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.

Magnesium Tinder Rod Review
This is an excellent product, the magnesium is soft & very pure. It scrapes very easily & will produce a good pile of dust for tinder. Ignites quickly. I wear one on my necklace with a firesteel when backpacking. This is the place I come to for my firesteel needs. ~Steve www.crudeanalysiz.com

Half Inch Mangesium rod!
I tried out the half-inch diameter, three inch long rod. It's a comfortable size and fits nicely in the pocket. It is significant in girth, but not unwieldy. The rod shaves nicely. For cold or gloved hands, I'd suggest a lanyard. The lanyard allows easier gripping in a way which allows more of the rod available for scraping.
