Which gives more wood per box?

The Wilson box is 30 lb versus 20 lb for the CNY kit, and the CNY kit states 0.75 cu. ft. Wilson does not state a volume, so weight is the clearest comparison. Expect the Wilson box to last longer per box.

The CNY kit, because it ships with kindling and natural hardwood peelings as a fire-starter. The Wilson box is kiln-dried cherry splits only, so you supply your own kindling and starter.

Per box, the Wilson 30 lb box holds more wood by weight. Wilson itself notes a longer fire comes from ordering multiple boxes. The CNY kit is smaller at 20 lb, so it suits shorter or occasional fires.

Which is better for camping?

The CNY kit, since it is designed for campfires and camping and includes kindling and a fire-starter. Its 14-inch logs also pack more easily. The Wilson box is aimed at fireplaces.
