Announcing A New Product

NEW CHEMICAL FREE FIRE STARTER MAKES A GREAT GIFT!
Working with one of the customers for our packaging, we have developed a new product we are happy to announce.

In addition to our PrairieEcoPak, (earth-friendly, degradable packing material) we are proud to announce the creation and availability of Prairie Bug Firestarters(tm) . These natural, chemical-free firestarters are patented and made from recycled cardboard and natural hand-poured soy wax. They are great for fireplaces, firepits, campfires, wood stoves, chimnera and bonfires. And they are easy to use as well as good for the earth.

You place the soy wax end of the firestarter among the kindling or logs, up and at an angle, with the cardboard end down and facing towards you. You light the cardboard end which acts as a quick-burning fuse. When the flame reaches the soy wax end you obtain a sustained burn of approx. 20 minutes....long enough to 'catch' any wood that's not green or wet.

Most commercial firestarters are made from some kind of chemical. They contain toxic chemicals like formaldehyde, arsenic and they usually leave behind some kind of greasy residue.

Our Prairie Bug Firestarters leave no residue, so they are safe for fireplaces and wood stoves as well as outdoor fires. And with no chemicals whatsoever, they are safe for cooking over too. They release no carbon monoxide as they burn, which is an improvement on most commercial starters.

Because there are 12 little bugs in a single package, that one 12-pack contains starts for 12 separate fires. The retail price is $12.95, which is just about a dollar a fire.... as opposed to a single big chemical filled log that offers you one single fire. It's a good deal.

Our firestarters, made from a recycled cardboard, reuse a material that would otherwise be clogging landfills. So we are recycling and reusing cardboard and reducing both the chemicals released in the air and the carbon monoxide released by most commercial fire starters.

Prairie Bug Firestarters are made in the US, in America's heartland, by US workers.

In addition to selling these cute, attractively packed (gift-worthy) boxes of firestarters, our company WHOLE EARTH PARTNERS, based in Newton, Iowa, is also selling the experience of sharing stories around the fire, gathering to celebrate family and cherishing the night sky. Our website (www.PrairieFireBugs.com) invites folks who use the firestarters to share their stories.. the stories they tell around their own fires, the recipes they use on camping trips, songs they sing around campfires, and their favorite locations for camping.

Prairie Bug Firestarters can also be purchased at that website or on Amazon.com. Gp ahead and order a box to try. Start something warm and wondrous tonight!
