Reviews of Diamond GreenLightTM Kitchen Matches - 3 Pack - 300 Matches per

Diamond GreenLightTM Kitchen Matches - 3 Pack - 300 Matches per Pack x 3 = 900 Match
Customer Ratings: 4 stars
Buy Now
I posted the photo titled "New green vs old red. More green ones have too little of the white tip.". As you can see, out of 20 matches of each color pulled in a handful right from the top, the green ones have quite a few with a white tip so small they are impossible to actually strike anywhere. The white scrapes off before the match ignites. Of the ones with more white tip, they still don't light as well as the red ones, say with your fingernail or on the fingernail or mini file that comes with a multi-tool knife. Since red ones are still available at places like an Ace Hardware for $1.49, this was a big waste of money especially with the shipping. So while I used to pick out the few bad ones from a box of red to reject from picnic/hike/survival kits, now I have to pick out the few good ones from a green box that qualify as usable for an actual strike anywhere match.

I'm rating this as 2 stars since 1 star is for a product completely worthless. These still work... mostly as strike on the box matches. Thumbs down on the match and the description that says "4) Lights easier (in my opinion)"

I could not find these matches anywhere locally but Amazon comes through again. The matches arrived in about 5 days. They are as described, three boxes of 300 each. The matches can be lit by striking anywhere so I can light my fireplace by striking the match against the bricks or floor. I prefer this over strike on the box because it seems that the striking surface is dull by the end of the box and I am repeatedly striking the match with about 1/4 at the end being "flame outs." With these you can also do, if so inclined, the striking a match on the bottom of the shoe. Tre Chic! Just like in the movies from the 40's. Too bad I don't smoke. The matches are sturdy and long. Not flimsy. You can light your fireplace in four or five different spots before the match is too short to handle and this means that you only use one. I was averaging three per fire before between needing multiple matches and "duds" so in the end these are economical. And I dip the heads in hot wax to make them waterproof and carry them in a special container and they are great for camping and barbecues, etc. I can light my grill even if it is raining or windy.

These matches have changed and been made cheaper. They are very difficult to light and don't stay lit long enough to serve any purpose. Seems the tip of the match has less "firepower" and the strip on the box is thin, weak and wears out quickly. I throw 3 or 4 matches away for every one that lights for more than two seconds. Not buying them anymore

Honest reviews on Diamond GreenLightTM Kitchen Matches - 3 Pack - 300 Matches per

I purchased the Diamond Green Light Kitchen matches because I thought that the price was good, they are better for the environment (being as they come from sustainably managed forests), and they were "strike anywhere" (how could I go wrong). Really, though, it was a poor purchase on my part.

The boxes are filled with matches that break or have very little match head, so I end up getting a successfully lit match one out of three matches. Additionally, the striker on the side of the box wore away nearly immediately. While I love the idea of strike anywhere matches, these are low quality matches that are not up to the job. I really wouldn't recommend these at all.

A lot of matches for a great price, great value, but. These are not really strike anywhere matches. It takes 10-15 matches to get one lit if you do not use striker on side of box. I am looking for some better matches for camping.

This product was a great buy for me. We recently purchase a new bedroom set and the bed is higher now so we need a tv stand that would raise our tv. This was easy to put together one person can do it until you add the tv...all the parts were numbered and it came with extra screws if needed...again great buy

I recently ordered this stand because it was moderately priced. When I received it the packaging was good, really nice size for the limited space I have and the mount part that the TV goes on swivels L/R so that's nice. I had someone put it together for me and he stated that it was quite simple to assemble. Another great buy!

I had this item on my wish list for about 2 weeks debating whether I should buy it or not. Luckily it went on sale at a local store for nearly half this price, so I figured it was a sign to get it. I could not have been happier. When I was first setting it up, I was convinced mt 40" TV would surely tip over the stand, but its been a week and it's holding strong. I love the fact that the TV swivels and looks as if its hanging (I rent, so I'm not allowed to drill any holes) so this is the best possible product I could have asked for!

Honest reviews on Home Source Industries TV12348 Sahara Modern TV Stand with Mount

I needed to replace my TV stand with a smaller one that could still hold a 40" TV to fit into my new smaller apartment. If you need to save space, this is the best stand out there for mid sized TVs (Fits up to 42"). I couldn't believe how fast it showed up. I did standard shipping and it showed up the next day. Unreal.

Assembly seemed intimidating, but like other reviewers have said, it's actually easier than it looks. The one thing I don't like about it is that my TV seems to be tilted toward the floor ever so slightly. When sitting down you don't notice it at all, but looking at it from the side you can tell that the screen does not quite point straight out.

Overall, perfect solution to my space needs and it looks really good.

I replaced the gerbil sized grate in our fireplace with one of these. It's a much better shape, holds wood well enough, and very sturdy. But we found the massive gaps between each bar let the wood fall through as it wood burns.

I never had issues with logs wanting to roll out the front as another reviewer has experienced, and I generally use the "fake" logs. I've used real wood too, and invariably most of the material will end up under the grate festering in the ash.

I tried putting the oven's grill grate over the top, it fits rather well. Unfortunately that melted. Oops!

I'm now looking for a replacement.

Click Here For Most Helpful Customer Reviews >>

I ordered this to replace our old, broken grate and am sorry I did so. This grate has no middle bar to keep the logs from spilling out of the fireplace. We have to carefully place the wood in the grate and then keep an eye on it because as the wood shifts, it can sometimes roll right out and up against the screen, or worse, out onto the carpet. It is just a weird design and not a good one. Don't waste your $20 on this item, opt for a model that will actually hold the logs in.

Best Deals for Panacea 15405 Wrought Iron Fire Grate, 18-Inch

I'll just summarize. My fireplace is 23inches at the widest part and 15inches in the back. The grate fits very well with room to spare. We are able to build fires with 4-6 logs at a time and have no worries. Very good for its size!!

Honest reviews on Panacea 15405 Wrought Iron Fire Grate, 18-Inch

Been looking for a small grate for our fireplace. The firebox is quite small and this one fit perfectly.

Logs are staying put. Very happy with this purchase.

Update 1/26/13. Bought this about 1 year ago, and it really hasnt held up. We have fires often (2 to 3 times a week). The rack warped in the middle. I think it is a little too light weight for our needs. If you dont burn really hot fires, or use your fireplace too often, this might be ok for you, but Im in the market for a new one now.

These matches are great! The only thing that I don't like is that when the fire spreads along the stick, the part that's burned falls off onto the floor or wherever.

These long matches are perfect for lighting our fire pit, chiminea, grill and patio torches. The wood sticks are sturdy enough to get the job done, even though the striker is a bit skimpy. Very satisfied.

They light things on fire. Not much else to them.

For some reason I couldn't find long matches at the store nearby, just normal small ones and then a medium-length box, maybe half the length of these. I could have continued looking at other stores, since I'm sure someone has them, but frankly it's easier to just order from Amazon.

I purchased this wood stove about 3 years ago. I have owned other stoves in the past and was very pleased with each one...until I bought this one.

I live in New England and here we need to depend on a good reliable source of heat.I had not seen this stove prior to purchasing it...mistake #1. None were on display anywhere in my area. I went on the recommendation of a friend who had one, but knew nothing about wood stoves....mistake #2.First off, the stove is very hard to regulate. It either is set low and smokes all over or all the way open and will blast you out of the house. It probably would work better in a large home for that reason.

It is a poorly built cheap quality most likely a Chinese made stove(as quoted on another website). The first year I had to replace the door gasket 3 times until I emailed the company and they sent one that has worked fine since. The door is out of alignment and doesn't fit flush. The hinges have a lot of slop in them. Year 2, the handle broke off, very poor design and materials.I emailed and complained about it and they did send a new one free. Year 3, Some of the fire brick are now breaking and the grate has broken.There is a big hole in the middle. A new one on their website costs $ + shipping. They are also to last for years according to their website.

This is not an air tight wood stove like I thought. There are gaps in the doors and The fire box is thin metal. Overall it does technically work, but for the money it is very, very poor. Please do yourself a favor and look to a different company.

I purchased this stove over 2 years ago to to replace an old oil burning stove. I could not be happier. Our family home is about 1200sqft, and this is our only heat source. I have even used the top surface for cooking meals during power outages a few times. It is very well made with cast iron doors, and heavy gauge steel box. Please read instructions on proper heating to prevent smoking if you are not familiar with wood stoves. Works greats, keeps us warms, and very efficient wood burner!
