Question:

It would appear that the firestarter I used for my 7 year old Whitfield Advantage pellet stove is no longer available. It was a non liquid squeezable gel type of product which was easy to use. I have checked in larger Western Canadian stores where firestarters would likely be sold, but aside from barbecue fluid, which of course is flammable, I do not know of another suitable product. Can you help?



Answer:

There are quite a few gelled alcohol started available which work well.

You can also use solid starters...one I know of is called "lighning nuggets". Another is Super Cedars....they are at:
