Midwest Hearth Cedar Fire Starters for Fireplace & Wood Stove, 16 Pack (Up to 64 Fires) — 4" x 1" Disks, Food-Safe Waxed Cedar

Midwest Hearth Cedar Fire Starters are compact, food-safe cedar-and-wax disks designed to ignite wood fires quickly and cleanly for fireplaces, wood stoves, grills, and outdoor ovens.

These 4" x 1" cedar sawdust disks, blended with refined wax and made in the USA, give you reliable ignition without chemical residues. Each disk lights easily from the edge, reaches high temperatures fast, and burns for about 20–30 minutes—enough time to establish kindling or coals. Because they’re made from real cedar, they offer natural aroma and strong, steady heat while remaining safe to use around cookware and grills.

How quickly do these starters get a fire going?

Midwest Hearth Cedar Fire Starters are formulated to heat up rapidly so you can build a lasting fire with less fuss. Expect intense heat within minutes to help char kindling and join multiple fuel pieces.

• Lights from the edge with a match or lighter
• Reaches near 1200°F heat within two minutes
• Burn time of approximately 20–30 minutes per disk
• One disk can be broken apart to start several smaller fires

Are these safe to use around food and grills?

Yes. The starters are made from real cedar sawdust and refined wax without synthetic accelerants, so they don’t leave toxic residues. That makes them suitable for barbecues, pizza ovens, and other cooking appliances where clean-burning ignition is important.

• No added chemical starters or residues
• Food-safe composition—good for outdoor cooking use
• Leaves minimal ash and odor compared to liquid starters
• Hand-sized disks for controlled placement under coals or kindling

How should I use and store the cedar fire starters?

Using the starters is straightforward: place a disk under your kindling, light the edge, and allow it to burn until larger wood catches. For storage, keep them dry and away from direct heat to maintain performance and longevity.

• Place disk beneath or beside kindling, light the rim
• Allow 20–30 minutes for a stable ember bed to form
• Store in a cool, dry place away from flame and strong sunlight
• Break a disk into pieces to light multiple small fires if needed

What makes these fire starters a good value?

The 16-pack delivers lasting ignition power and versatility—each disk’s long burn time and break-apart design mean fewer starters used per fire. Made in the USA with real cedar, they balance performance and cost-effectiveness for regular household use.

• Sixteen disks per pack for repeated use across seasons
• Long individual burn time reduces the number consumed
• Breakable disks multiply ignition points for efficiency
• Durable, compact design for easy storage and transport
