Description

GB2 Fatwood Shavings

Fatwood is mainly found in dead pine tree limbs and stumps. Fatwood contains a high concentration of resin. Our Fatwood Shavings burn hotter and longer. They are also wind and moisture resistant. Gray Bearded Green Beret shavings are 100% natural, processed with care by a small business in Georgia (United States), and are very rich in resin.

Fatwood, also known as “fat lighter”, “lighter wood”, “rich lighter”, “pine knot”, “lighter knot”, is derived from the heartwood and branch junctions of pine trees, typically after the limb or tree dies. The resin-soaked wood decomposes at a slower rate than the surrounding sapwood, and reveals the fatwood underneath.

Each custom tin is hand-packed by GB2 staff. Tins are reusable as a charring and storage tin, or can be used for storing small items.

made in the USA

    Only issue is that the tin opened during shipment, but I was able to recover almost all of the shavings. Maybe use a more secure closure in the future. Nothing wrong with the shaving themselves, the product takes a spark and ignites every time.

    I don’t have any fat wood in my area, and having these shavings is a great help in starting a fire. I would highly recommend this to anyone who does not have easy access to fat wood.

    I took this to Mongolia that even on a summer night is cold mid to low 40’s and it worked great. Even the locals where asking what it was….AWESOME…and that is why I just ordered 2 more!

    Like I posted before I took this product to Mongolia and worked great. This post is because I order two more to have in my cars bag.
