Description

magnesium tinder rod

Burning Magnesium

Using 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.

These soft magnesium rods can be used to help start a fire, especially if your wood is damp or wet.

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.

    Easy to Use, Takes Patience

    Posted by Arron on May 21st 2011

    What I like about these magnesium firesteel rods is when your rod wears out you can easily get another to replace it. Make a small pile of magnesium shavings using the knife or firesteel scraper. It can take several minutes to do this, be patient. BUT these magnesium rods provide tinder that is ALWAYS dry, even if they have been dunked in water. I recommend you always carry tinder like these mag rods. If all natural tinder is wet you will know you can still start a fire.
