It’s just a palm-sized plastic-covered brick with a red pull-string, but within seconds of yanking that string, the Pull Start Fire begins smoking and is soon burning twice as hot as conventional fire starters, according to the manufacturer. Just loop the green string around your holiday Yule log or the bottom timber in your fire pit, pull the red string, and — boom! — the 5-inch fire starter does the rest. No matches, no lighter, no accelerants. The eco-friendly Pull Start Fire contains recycled materials and is said to burn for up to half an hour, even in windy, wet weather. Each fire starter comes wrapped in thick-plastic waterproof packaging.
MSRP: $24.95 for six
