What Customers Are Saying

This fire starter product is generally effective and reliable for starting fires, though some customers have noted issues with a recent formula change. The majority of reviewers praise its ability to quickly and easily ignite materials, with many stating it is the best they have used. However, a significant number of customers have complained that the new gel-based formula is too thick and less effective than the previous liquid version.

Fire Starter Gel

Would Recommend

Easily lights and burns down quite slowly which allows the pellets to catch much easier.

Squeeze’n Light

Would Recommend

Works as advertised and doesn’t take much. Make sure there is sufficient air flow, dry wood and wadded up paper or twigs and your set for a great fire! I Highly Recommend!

Safer than Gas

Would Recommend

Was looking for an alternative to gas to light my fires in my pit. Yeah, gas is fun, but i like the hair on my face to not be scorched. I happened upon this and works well. Not explosive when lighting, nice slow burn that helps get things going. Only downside i have found is it doesn’t spread quickly enough around the spray pattern.

Squeeze’nLight Gel Fire Starter

Would Recommend

Excellent product it really works well. We’ve tried other fire starters with our pellet stove over the 10 years that we’ve had it. This product has always worked because it seems to be made with a better quality ethanol type gel which sticks to the pellets better, and burns longer
