What happens to a dog if he eats one?

Answer This Question

I would call a vet in that case.

By|May 3, 2023

I'm not certain what these are made of, but I would imagine that it includes sawdust and paraffin or some other hydrocarbon, neither of which would be good for consumption. The Pet Poison hotline says, "If ingested by dogs, the compressed sawdust and wax within these logs can result in a foreign body obstruction in the stomach. Some types of these logs contain heavy metals also, and there is rare risk of heavy metal toxicity."

take the dog to the vet

    I have no idea. I don't think it would be good though. You would need to contact the company for information relating to that.

    I don't believe that they are toxic...just sawdust and wax, but I would probably take my dog to the vet as a precaution.

    Compact and Versatile
    Compact and versatile. These small put powerful starter sticks can be used indoor and outdoor. The starter stick can be used to start your grill. Place it on the grill and pile your charcoal around and on top. In the fireplace put two to three split pieces of wood down first. On top or between these pieces place one or two fire starter sticks and light. Great for camping due to their compact size. One fire sticks fits in the palm of your hand. Secured wrappers keep them dry and ready for use.

    This starter will start your fire... or charcoal grill
    I used these Pine Mountain Extreme Start Fire Starter logs to start a fire in the fireplace and they worked well. For a fireplace you simply put the starter between a few logs, light the wrapper in 3 places and then sit back and wait... and then wait a little longer... and then you have a nice fire going. The package says the starters are volatile so you should only use one and then you shouldn't disturb the fire for 30 minutes. That's fine, but if they were very volatile, I would think the fire would be roaring after a few minutes. My fire wasn't burning tall until about 20-30 minutes. If you want a roaring fire quickly, add a little kindling or newspaper. These are not intended for wood stoves or closed stoves, but they can be used to start the charcoal grill. The starter materials are made in the USA. While these starters are about the size of a candy bar, they're definitely effective. Overall a good product.

    Works As Expected
    The Extreme Start Wrapped Fire Starter is easy to use and a great value. For what amounts to only $.50. per starter log, anyone can quickly and easily start a controlled fire anywhere. Using the Extreme Start Wrapped Fire Starter couldn't be easier. Simply lay the log down, neatly place the kindling, paper, and wood on top, then light the fire starter. The Extreme Start Wrapped Fire Starter will last for about 20-25 minutes, just long enough for your fire to get going and sustain itself. I have used these fire starter logs both in my fireplace and portable fire pit. They work great in both locations, and makes life much easier. They are well worth the price. I definitely recommend the Extreme Start Wrapped Fire Starter to anyone looking to start a quick fire anywhere.

    Works Great!
    The Pine Mountain Extreme Start Wrapped Fire Starter worked great for me. It is very easy to use. All you have to do is place the package on the bottom, lay some wood on top and light the paper. I have used the fire starters for both a wood fire in my fire pit and a charcoal fire in my barbecue. It really works well. My wife had friends over and was able to use the fire starter to start a fire in the fire pit. She was happy that no rolled newspaper or kindling was needed. The fire starters are made in the USA, that's a plus as far as I'm concerned! The starters lasted about 20-25 minutes for me, plenty of time to get a fire going. I would recommend this product to anyone who wants an easy way to start your fire or barbecue.

    Couldn't be easier to start a fire.
    These works great to start a fire. Works with charcoal for your grill or can start a log fire in a pit or fireplace. They are small so they are easy to transport for camping or tailgating. They are about 6" with the package. Since they are small, you might need a couple if you want to start a large fire. The first time we used them we needed a fire quick to cook some hot dogs and marshmellows with toddlers. You put one where you want a fire, light the paper and put on some logs.

    Easy to use fire started sticks!
    This is about the umpteen box of these I have used. I was told to NEVER use charcoal lighter fluid in my fire pit so I have always used a fire starter stick .... and these are easy to use and burn for 15+ minutes so the fire gets going good before they go out. They are individually wrapped so your hands don't get messy and because they are wrapped, all you do is ignite the paper wrapping and it lights the stick. All-in-all, an excellent product .....

    Great Little Starters at a Great Price
    I love the fact that these little fire starters are so small...they are perfect for what I need, which is simply to get the fire going. In the past, I've used the large, log-sized ones, and while they did work well, it felt like a waste of money because they were expensive and it seemed like overkill. These are perfect...they do exactly what I need, which is simply get the other wood started on fire. I also like the fact that the box doesn't take up a ton of space in storage, and I don't feel like I'm "burning money" when I use them.

    Be Cautious
    Took me almost 4 of these to get the fire started with 3 dry logs. I even swapped out wood because I thought it was the wood I was using but it wasnt. These fire-starters do not start anything and barely hold a flame/catch on fire. The box I used was the "extreme firestarters" grey box not this red one.

      Doesn't catch logs on fire
      I used two between two dry logs bought at the store. Burned for awhile and left char, but did not catch logs on fire. Tried adding paper...still no. Don't recommend unless you plan on adding a lot of other kindling.
