Wetfire failure

[Skimo]

I have not used the wet fire, but the weber charcoal lighter cubes are similiar if not the same only bigger. I can light them easily with my ferro rod. Use your scraper to loosen up a pile of dust on top of the cube. Point your rod at the top of the cube and pull it back quickly holding the scraper as close to the cube as possible. Nice shower of sparks, usually lights the first time if the dust is fine enough. Lit my hibatchi last night with this technique.

From what I understand, they are the very same.... at a fraction of the price.

EDIT: Youtube video of wetfire vs. Weber Charcoal lighter cubes.

*****Summary of video, 24 pack of .35 oz. (11 gram) cubes for anywhere between $4.29-$5.50.

Roughly 8 oz. for roughly $5

Wet fire tabs are roughly .18 oz. (5 grams) 8 for about $8.00

If you don't want to do the math, I'll give you the rough rounded numbers.

Wet Fire: $4.00 per ounce
Weber: $0.63 per ounce *****
