crazzie Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 I had so much extra wax left over, started to make Fire Starters. Went into the woods and picked dried items. Tis the season to get ready for starting the fireplace. At least in Northern Wisconsin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjconner Posted September 16, 2011 Share Posted September 16, 2011 I have been searching the forum for pricing trends for these. All the pricing posts on this board are several years old. What are these selling for these days? I have been using them in our wood stove for a couple of years and I have been asked to sell them. I make mine pretty big - just over 3 ounces each. (I have issues with keeping a newly started fire going. My DH thinks I am challenged!)Thanks,Susan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toni S. Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 How'd ya do at your show with the firestarters? I've found that in the great northwoods, the people who do buy them are purchased for "looks" only and not for use! Guess we need to sell to city people for firestarters??

JanetsCandles Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 I put some similar to these in my show this weekend. It was warmer, but I'll be darned if I didn't sell out too. Looks like this is a keeper. And had both for "looks" and for actual use being sold. I'm a happy camper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
