I had a box of these candles that you place under the wood you are
trying to get started burning for a fire. Campfires, fireplaces etc.
They look like tea lights but the entire thing burns up even the wax and
the wax paper covering. They make a very hot flame unlike some of the
other fire starting products and last about 10 minutes or so. Anyone
know what these things are called?

Hexamine? Used to cook with them in the forces.
