The 6 Best Fire wicks (2023 reviews)

If you are looking to buy an all-around great wick for your daily purpose, atomic bear fire wick is the right option. It’s another tool for making fire. It comes with 3 wicks and a very lightweight tube. Once fluffed up, you can light it with one strike on fire steel very easily, and it is really handy having a mobile flame (like a very hot and large match) to light kindling. It’s great that it comes with the nice tube to keep the twine safe and to extinguish the flame.

The metal piece has the same OD as a screwdriver quick connect tool which is a 1/4"OD tool. It fits in pockets and doesn’t take up space in your pack back weighing it down. If it's windy this device helps you get the flame low without the heat scorching your fingers.

Best For Emergency situations: generic Fire wick

Not everyone likes to purchase wick for their daily purpose, but the generic fire wick would be an anomoly. The Survival Ready Outfitters fire starting pails are the perfect solution for outdoor or survival fire starting. It is 5" tall and 4" wide. The discs and wicks can be started with the included magnesium bar and striker. Hemp twin, cotton tabs, fatwood and the included telescoping blow pipe will all aid in building a fire quickly under any conditions.

These can be broken down into individual wicks expanding the number of fires started. They have a shorter burn time, but when conditions are dry these are the perfect tool for a quick fire. The discs can be broken down into smaller pieces and used if lesser burn times are sufficient. It is great for emergency situations, wood stoves, backyard fire pits, bbq pits, bonfires or any other time time a fire is required.
