xKombat UK Magnesium Fire Starter - Your Bad Weather Fire Solution
This Kombat UK magnesium fire starter is brilliant for when the weather's working against you. It's a magnesium bar with a small ferro rod attached - you scrape magnesium shavings off the bar, then use the ferro rod to light them. The magnesium burns at 5,400°F, which is hot enough to get fires going even when everything's damp and miserable.
Why Magnesium Beats Normal Fire Starting in Bad Weather
Here's why this works so well when conditions are rough - magnesium shavings burn much hotter and longer than ferro rod sparks alone. While ferro rod sparks are around 3,000°F and last a split second, burning magnesium hits 5,400°F and burns for several seconds. That extra heat and time makes all the difference when your tinder's a bit damp or the wind keeps blowing your sparks out.
Simple Technique, Reliable Results
Using it's straightforward - scrape some magnesium shavings off the bar with the attached striker, make a little pile, then strike the ferro rod to create sparks that'll light the magnesium pile. The burning magnesium gives you a proper hot flame that'll dry out and light slightly damp tinder that normal sparks wouldn't touch. It's the difference between struggling for ages and getting a fire going first time.
Compact and Long-Lasting
At just 7.5 x 2.5 x 1cm and 50g, this fits easily in your pocket or fire kit. You'll get about 3000 strikes from the ferro rod, and the magnesium bar will last for hundreds of fires depending on how much you scrape off each time. It's the kind of backup that's worth its weight when you really need a fire and the weather's not playing ball.
Perfect for UK Weather
Let's face it - British weather can be a nightmare for fire starting. Damp air, drizzle, wind - all the things that make getting a fire going frustrating. This magnesium bar gives you a real advantage in those conditions. The intense heat will overcome dampness that would kill normal flames, and it burns long enough to get your tinder bundle properly caught.

Common Questions
How hot does the magnesium burn?
Magnesium burns at 5,400°F - much hotter than ferro rod sparks alone at 3,000°F. That extra heat makes all the difference in difficult conditions.
Will this work when everything's damp?
Yes - the intense heat from burning magnesium can dry out and light slightly damp tinder that normal sparks wouldn't touch.
How much magnesium do I scrape off?
Just a small pile about the size of a 10p coin is enough. You don't need much - magnesium burns very hot and bright.
Is this better than just a ferro rod?
For normal conditions, a ferro rod is fine. But when weather's against you - wet, windy, damp tinder - the magnesium gives you a real advantage.
