Terrible packaging
I bought the fat wood bundle and it was a mess. Haphazard wood in a flimsy burlap bag. Got a reply from LLBEAN but no reply from my last request to send another fat wood bundle

Love Fat Wood kindling
Got my first 15 lb sack of Fat Wood last year as Christmas gift. Lasted for a year with nightly fires in my woodstove for about 6 months of winter weather. Requested for this year.

Spoiler alert
It was suppose to be a Christmas gift and it arrived in packaging describing what the contents were. I'm very particular about my gift giving and it was ruined.
