The Original Burner Firelighters - Barrel of 100

Product Information

However, unlike wood wool offerings such as this are made from compressed sawdust and wax of some sort. Woodcycle Natural Firelighter Bags are just that: bags of recycled wood in the form of nuts (I think of them like Tea bags) and recycled wax. The specially designed sachets are made from a unique blend that is both odourless and safe for BBQs.

I’ve been using firelighters for the last 20 years, firstly for lighting my charcoal BBQs, although I’ve since upgraded to a Char-broil gas BBQ, which is fantastic. When one to three sachets are placed in your fire and lit, they immediately burn at a very high temperature causing the fuel in your fire to catch very quickly. Therefore we have put together the basics explaining what clear skies is, and how this potentially will effect choosing a wood burner or multi fuel stove. If you notice your fire getting sluggish, then give it a bit of a rake (with a poker if an open fire) or use the raker mechanism for your stove.

A good point about these fire-lighting sachets is that they still light even if they’re exposed to water and humidity. One other firelighter I was impressed with was these Woodcycle Natural Firelighter Bags, but I’ve only used them once.

Then look for fire starters that contain wood that is a by-product of a regular commercial wood process – the leftover wood bits (sawdust or dust usually) that are usually thrown away. These are perfect for lighting your woodburner as the extra length gives you time to light multiple areas of the kindling. When the first pieces of wood have started to catch, gently place some more kindling on top and one medium sized log.I had my doubts about these strange firefighters but they work very well in my multi fuel stove - using with a couple of bits of kindling to start. The sachets have a high inflammable point ( >65 degrees Celsius) and no flammable warnings are required on the packaging.
