This business manufactures and distributes fire-starter products that can be used in campfires, outdoor grills, fireplaces, and even wood stoves. The user can sprinkle the product onto kindling and easily light it for a natural, organic, and food-safe fire. It's completely safe and simplifies the fire-starting process so that the results can be enjoyed immediately. The product is made from locally sourced wood chips mixed with a proprietary igniter and sold in several different-sized packages that are designed for convenience and the specific needs of the consumer, from single 2 oz. cups (also in six packs), and 3 qt. jugs, to 2 gal. decorative tins. The product is currently distributed nationwide via Amazon and by select retail stores in Montana and has a long-term sales history.
