Suppressant for chimney fire originating from woodstove.  Shaped like a 
flare, one end you can 'strike' like a match.  Light the thing, throw it 
in the stove, close stove up tight if it wasn't already.  Chimney fire 
will suffocate.  Went off market a few years ago when the mfg plant in 
Virginia burned to the ground, just came back on market under the 
Rutland label.
