Kindling & Firelighters FAQ's

What is Kindling?

Kindling refers to small, lightweight pieces of wood used to ignite a fire. It bridges the gap between the initial flame from a match or firelighter and larger logs, ensuring a steady, sustainable burn. High-quality kindling, such as natural kindling made from softwoods like pine or spruce, is essential for quick and efficient fire-starting.

Kiln dried kindling is a popular choice because it has been dried in a controlled environment to reduce moisture content, making it easy to light and burn cleanly. This type of dry kindling produces minimal smoke and maximizes heat output, making it perfect for wood-burning stoves, fireplaces, and outdoor fire pits.

To use kindling, arrange a small stack in a crisscross pattern over your firelighter. Ensure there is enough airflow for the flame to catch. Once the kindling burns steadily, gradually add larger logs to build your fire.

What are Firelighters?

Firelighters are small, combustible items designed to make lighting fires quick and easy. They are used to ignite kindling and larger logs in fireplaces, wood-burning stoves, barbecues, pizza ovens, chimeneas, and fire pits.

Traditional firelighters provide reliable ignition but sometimes release strong odours and chemicals. In contrast, modern firelighters offer eco-friendly alternatives that are safer for the environment and your home.

One popular option is wood wool firelighters, made from natural wood shavings and wax. These are biodegradable, non-toxic, and produce a clean, odourless flame. Samba Firestarters are another excellent choice, known for their convenience and efficiency in lighting fires quickly.

For environmentally conscious users, eco-firelighters are a top pick. These are made from sustainable materials, ensuring a clean burn with minimal environmental impact. Firelighters are an essential tool for effortless fire-starting in any setting.
