moniek Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 What type of warning label do you use for these? Or do you just put the instructions on them? I'm not going to use wicks on these. Afraid someone will try to use it as a candle!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AngelaVA Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Ok, I've never made these, but I would include something about only burning in a fireplace/well ventilated area. Do not use with gasoline or other flammable liquid. Do not ingest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Candle Man Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 Here is what I put on mine. They are to be used only in campfires & real wood fireplaces. Keep out of reach of children & pets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bev Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 Here is how my label reads: CAUTION: Firestarters are NOT candles. DO NOT burn outside of fireplace or campfire!! DO NOT use to start pits or grills that are used for food preparation. Check owner’s manual before burning in wood stoves. Keep Firestarters out of the reach of children and pets. All standard fire precautions should be used when using Cabin Dream Firestarters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chele Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 Here's ours....THIS IS NOT A CANDLE! These are firestarters, intended for starting a fire in campfires & fireplaces. Place one firestarter on top of a small pile of kindling, place small diameter logs on top, light the wick. Wax will flare up enough to ignite the logs, then the wax will be consumed by the fire. All standard fire precautions should be used when using firestarters. Keep away from reach of children. HTH,Chele Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sag_77 Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 DO NOT use to start pits or grills that are used for food preparation.quote]I figure they can't be any worse for the food and a lot safer than the ton of gas the men in my family think it is funny to start a fire with. :rolleyes2 We all just let it burn for an hour or so before dinner. Would that work for the firestarters also? I was gonna start making them this year especially for the family as I am sick of hearing "everyone stand back, do we have all the kids out of the way". Just checking don't wanna make anyone sick while trying to make it safer! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don't know what chemicals are released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bev Posted April 8, 2006 Share Posted April 8, 2006 My firestarters are scented with Cinnamon FO, so I put that warning on there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janette Posted April 10, 2006 Share Posted April 10, 2006 My boyfriend used a firestarter on our BBQ pit last summer against my pleading not too. It is not like starter fluid. It was gross. The food turned out ok, but for hours after you could smell the wax burning until the coals went out. I don't think it is harmful but it makes hanging out in the yard smelly.Janette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
