FAQs
Are these firelighters safe for indoor use?
Yes, they are designed to be clean-burning and odourless, making them perfect for wood stoves and indoor fireplaces.
How many firelighters do I need for one fire?
Typically, one firelighter is sufficient for most setups, though two may be used for larger logs or damper firewood.
Can I use these for charcoal BBQs?
Yes, they are an excellent, non-toxic alternative to petroleum-based lighter fluids for charcoal and wood-fired BBQs.
Are these environmentally friendly?
They are made from FSC-certified pine wood shavings and natural wax, which is a sustainable and renewable combination.
What is the best way to store them?
Store them in the original bag in a dry cupboard or shed to ensure the wax stays intact and the wood stays dry for easy lighting.
Troubleshooting
Firelighter is difficult to ignite
Ensure the firelighter is completely dry; if it has been exposed to humidity, try fluffing the wood fibers slightly before lighting.
Fire goes out too quickly
Ensure there is adequate airflow around the firelighter. Do not smother it with too much fuel at the very beginning of the ignition process.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To get the best performance, keep the 1KG bag sealed until use, as the wax coating can degrade if exposed to high humidity or direct water contact for extended periods. Store them in a cool, dry place away from open flames. When setting up your fire, ensure your fuel source—whether it be seasoned firewood or high-quality charcoal—is dry to maximize the efficiency of the firelighter. Always follow the manufacturer's safety instructions for your specific fireplace or grill when introducing open flames.
