Q. Can I light QuickSurvive with a magnesium striker? 
A. Yes. QuickSurvive normally requires a heat source of 425+ degrees, such as a match or lighter. However, if you scrape off a little of the QuickSurvive pouch then spark it, the magnesium will light the QuickSurvive and get your fire started.

Q. Is QuickSurvive dangerous. Could it explode?

A. No. QuickSurvive is NOT a combustible and there is no explosive hazard. Due to its wax composition, it is recommended that QuickSurvive is kept in a place below 150 degrees - this is extremely hot, and the worst that would happen is that the product might simply melt. 

Q. Is QuickSurvive safe to cook with? Will it boil water? 
A. Yes - it is safe to get the fire started and then once your charcoal is nice and hot you can start cooking. 

Q. How do I light charcoal briquettes using a charcoal chimney? 
A. A charcoal chimney is a great way to light briquettes. Simply place QuickSurvive under the chimney, light it and place the chimney with your charcoal in it, over the flame. It typically will take about 5-10 minutes to light all of your charcoal depending on how much charcoal you have in the chimney.

Q. How do I light charcoal briquettes using a Weber or Charbroil grill?
A. Place QuickSurvive under the bottom grate (charcoal grate).  On the charcoal grate place your charcoal in a pyramid and then light your QuickSurvive. It typically will take about 5-10 minutes to light all of your charcoal (the edges will turn white) depending on how much charcoal you have on the grate. Once the edges of the charcoal are white, spread out the charcoal evenly for best results with a non burnable device and long enough where you don’t burn your hand such as a pair of tongs and you can then place the 2nd top grate (cooking grate) in place to begin cooking.

Q. Does QuickSurvive work in the wind or will it blow out?
A. You do have to shield QuickSurvive from the wind when you first light it for 20-30 seconds, however, QuickSurvive will burn in winds in upwards of 30 MPH once it is lit. 

Q. Is there an odor with QuickSurvive?
A. There is a slight odor from the wax substance, much like a candle burning.

Q. If my fire is going out can I add more to QuickSurvive?
A. Yes, you can add more QuickSurvive to any fire just as long as you don’t smother the flame when pouring. If you do, simply relight.

Q. What is the best way to store QuickSurvive?
A. A cool dry place is the best, but it can be stored anywhere that is less than 150 degrees. At 160 degrees the paraffin in it will start to melt. It can also be safely stored right next to food. QuickSurvive can be safely stored indoors or outdoors for up to 30 years.
