Quality Home Fireplace Matches, 11" Long, 3 Pack, Box of 40

Great for starting fire pit and bbq grill. Lightweight easy to use. Short burning time once lit for safety.

As much as I appreciate the long stick matches, I will not reorder unless there is free shipping…

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.

So when your Bbq striker doesn’t work. These are a game changer!

My igniter went on my Weber grill and in a pinch I got these matches which did the trick to light the grill
