Interesting stuff, i had a bonfire the other night as i was burning a load of paperwork an junk an i had an old roll of rubber carpet underlay nearby that i was gonna burn, but before i could chuck it on the fire i was busy burning all the other crap an a spark must of drifted over to the underlay cos it started smouldering an kept going so it is a good fire starter an when its going it burns with intense heat for quite a time.
So a few small strips in any firestarter kit would be a good move.

I presume it's because it's rubber based?

yeah rubber based but it must have summat else in it some type of chem,maybe dampproofing but whatever it is, it works, an good too, its like burning touchpaper, its easy to tear off a strip as it is realy light.
