Our fire starting tools use a patented alloy of rare earth metals called ferrocerium. Some of these metals include iron, cerium and magnesium. When a ferrocerium rod is scraped quickly, the friction generated ignites the shavings and produces molten globulars of burning metal. It is these long-burning, molten globulars of metal that make a ferrocerium fire starter so effective at setting other materials on fire.
HOW TO REPLACE:
To replace an old rod, simply unscrew the rod and screw in the new rod. Make sure the rod fits snugly into the rod holder.
