Quality HomeLong Wooden Fireplace Matches for Candles, Camping, BBQ Grilling - 11" Matches, 40 in Each Box (3)

These matches work great. I bought 6 boxes and am through the first one. So far, I'm 40 for 40 with 1 strike lights. Hold the match close to the tip when lighting it and fires up great. They are wooden so yea, there may be splinters and they are long so yea, they aren't sturdy if you are holding them 5 inches from the tip but if you know how to light a match, these are perfect.

Remember those good old "Strike Anywhere" wooden matches (made by Diamond) ? They really were true to their logo -- my friends and I used to light 'em off by striking them on the front fly zipper of our Levis w/out the match head flying off or the wooden stick breaking. They used to be reliably good fire-starters whether indoors or camping; no need to carry around the box they came in in order to have an effective striking surface, no worries about the slightest breeze or puff of air immediately blowing them out, or having the match-stick itself reduced to a size that's so fragile it's more likely to snap in half than ignite.Those days are long gone, friends, and I'm afraid they aren't returning. These "Quality Home Long Wooden Fireplace Matches" are what you need, even if you're not outside in the elements. No, they're not "strike anywhere", but neither are the 'Diamond' brand (which still makes that claim! ). These fireplace matches give you a good hot blast when ignited, they're sturdy, and long enough to allow time to poke around and ignite your tinder in multiple spots w/no burned fingers. And the un-burned remnants can be added to your tinder stash for starting the next fire.Yes, I'm aware of butane lighters and Bic lighters, but I prefer these.

Nice product

Great matches however the box is a little flimsy. I'd give 5 stars if the box wasn't so cheap.

Good value. We like what we received. Had to take a chance, as the little ones in the stores were just too short to light a candle with. A great idea for those of us who have short fingers and don't like the ones we buy at the store, as they burn up too fast!

These long matches are great for lighting our heater. It needs length on the match to reach the pilot. We ask why did they design lighting the pilot in a tiny narrow long oraphis? Theses matches are perfect!

They work. I’ll give them that. They aren’t a great quality, more like a dollar store version of grill matches. They come in a box like all the others but it’s a cheap cardboard and the strike part is lacking. Think of those really cheap book of matches that u try to strike on repeatedly before it actually lites the match? Yep that kind of strike patch.Beside that they are long enough to light my grill but the wood they are made from is soft and they break easy. So be careful when striking. I can’t beat the price for this many though so I def will give a 3 star. They do mostly work and as long as ur careful and don’t break them, but they aren’t 4-5 star worthy. I will buy the diamond brand next time from my dollar store cause they have a better strike pattern spot and they are made of harder wood. But I do like that inside the box the tips are covered in a plastic piece so when it rained outside and the box got soaked, the matches were protected by the inner plastic wrapped around them. So that’s a win. All in all they work and are decent enough for the price

Great for starting your fireplace, woodstove, campfire!
