I think in this instance undercutting the competition is the way forward!

So go then, please explain what you use for a wick and how do you insert it all the way into the log for it to work. And is that all there is to them.

The local "garden barn" flogs them for £15 each, at about 8" diameter. Apparently they fly off the shelf. I use birch bark to get mine going. I don't sell them, but I have a dozen drying in the greenhouse at any one time. Accompanies a few beers with the lads really well!

Firelighter in the top. Apply fire.

 

You could use a stick and push it to the bottom which I think would be more effective

So basically, if i drill a 25mm hole to the centre, push a firelighter down it, light it and hopefully hey presto, it works.

And cut into the stem length ways creating a cross when looked from above 👍

They need to be in four sections to work efficiently, I split mine with axe, put a bit of tinder at the base push them together and tie them with a root or anything to hand, they ignite quite quickly, once alight it doesnt matter if what you tied with them burns away.

 

I find an old filter from a lorry or tractor makes a good casing, obviously you need to remove all the paper/plastic first.
