Available in two different quantities, the Feniks Firelighters for Fireplace, Stoves, Barbecues and Campfires are near the cheapest out of the selection in terms of what you pay for and how many you get. I went for the smaller box which was approximately 500 pieces for similar money compared to the Flamers Natural Firelighters For Woodburners, Stoves, Barbeques and Campfires. If 288 cubes of fire lighter seems to be too much for your fire-starting plans, choose the 96 pieces option instead. Pros A well-equipped wood burner area includes items like firewood, fire extinguishers, a fire screen, and protective gear like gloves. Make sure you’re prepared for any situation. Choosing the Right Wood Hardwood vs. Softwood With this box, you get 200 firelights with only one fire lighter needed at a time to start your fire if you’ve got some kindling. The Natural Eco Wood Firelights are great value for money for the amount you get. Clear the Ashes: Before you start, make sure the firebox is clean. Remove any ashes or debris from previous fires but ensure you leave atleast a 1cm bed of ash. This will ensure proper airflow and efficient combustion.

These Ecoblaze Natural Firelighters are my go-to if for some reason I can’t get the Log Barn Eco firefighters. These are very similar and are made of 100% natural wood. In this case, the wood is recycled spruce wood sprigs and tips from FSC forests. All such wood is grown and harvested sustainably to benefit the environment. The wood is shredded into a form called ‘wood wool’ and then covered in a natural wax to burn crisply and cleanly, producing enough heat to start the smaller pieces of your firewood on fire.Wet or Unseasoned Wood: Using wet or unseasoned wood can lead to excessive smoke. Always burn well-dried, seasoned wood to reduce smoke emissions. Use a Fireplace Insert: If your wood burner is an open fireplace, consider installing a fireplace insert. Inserts are more efficient at heating and distribute heat more evenly into the room. Damper Control: The damper controls the amount of air entering the firebox. If you want a hotter, faster burn, open the damper wider. For a slower, more controlled burn, partially close the damper. Adjust it based on your heating needs.

Made from 100% natural and recycled products in Yorkshire, Hot Box ® Firestarter combines only locally sourced components further reducing its own carbon footprint. Recognize Symptoms: Familiarize yourself with the symptoms of carbon monoxide poisoning, which can include headaches, dizziness, nausea, and confusion. If anyone experiences these symptoms, leave the area immediately and seek medical attention.Eco firelighters made from sustainable materials, such as wood wool or wax, release minimum smoke and odour – so they are perfect to light up your BBQ, fireplace or stove.
