The Original Burner Firelighters - Barrel of 100

Product Information

A good point about these fire-lighting sachets is that they still light even if they’re exposed to water and humidity. At Logs Direct, we chose to source this product thanks to its top-of-the-range safety, ease of use and reliability in producing a controlled and sustained flame. Why spend time neatly arranging kindling sticks and adding firelighters only to be disappointed that you didn’t pay attention at Scouts! Our handy packs are designed around a cube but provide enough fire power for a specific period of time.

Firstly, I used to use the white chemical-based firelights for years, you know, the type that makes your hands a mess and gives off that awful petroleum smell. The flames and gases are odourless and non-toxic, so I don’t have to worry about anyone, including my kids and pets, from inhaling them. Same conditions, we did the tests on the same day, the weather was the same, the outside temperature was the same. With the days getting sorter and the nights getting longer it means we are busy installing wood burning and multi fuel stoves in homes.If you would like to read more about the science behind burning logs and fires, then please see our science popup at the bottom of the home page. These Stove Firelighters are suitable for wood burning and multi fuel stoves, Outdoor Chimineas, Fire Pits and Open Fires. They light easily and ignite the wood, a mix of kindling and small pieces of kiln dried oak, with no problem, leave no residue and do not have an odour. Over the last three years, I’ve been burning firelighters indoors and became a little concerned about the chemicals and the awful smell they give off – can’t be good for you! As such, we have chosen 4 of the best firelighters, based upon reviews, for stoves and put them to the test.

They have a large surface area, which increases the heat and prevents the firestarter from choking itself in the ashes. Just my personal choice but they are definitely worth considering if your not keen on the wood wool type. Note that for modern log burners, then are very well designed to run with the vents on the lowest setting with dry logs.Burner firestarters have a low controlled flame that burns amongst the charcoal / wood, concentrating flame within confined area. You get a few smaller ones, but compared to other brands I tried, they are the most consistent, and I know what I’m getting. However, I eventually tracked down the Burner Materials Hazard sheet, and the white material is Aliphatic hydrocarbons and thickeners.
