Item details

Handmade from recycled and left-over materials, a natural and eco-sensitive firelighter for campfires, open fires,stoves and barbecues. They're not the prettiest thing in my shop, but probably the most useful on a cold night!

This listing is for twenty firelighters. Sample packs of six are available in my shop if you'd like to try them out in a smaller quantity first. Each firelighter measures around an inch and a half across and will burn for 8 - 10 minutes depending on conditions and what type of fire you're setting.

The usual warnings apply! Always take care when lighting your firelighter and continue to watch your fire as it ignites to ensure it remains under control. Always remember your basic fire safety, especially if you're setting a campfire or bbq - do not use in dry, wooded areas where fire poses more of a risk!

For more info on using my firelighters read the 'how to' entry on my blog: http://eco-sensitivehome.blogspot.co.uk/2015/09/eco-friendly-firelighters-how-to-use.html

I have been making and using these on our stove at home with pleasing results. Each firelighter is made using recycled egg boxes, left over natural soy wax from my candle-making, wick trimmings, dried lavender and other petals from my garden, and wood shavings from my fathers wood-turning activities! The wax is a mix of over-melts (when I make more than I need!) or damaged candles and wax melts (when I'm clumsy at craft fairs!), so these do have a light scent, but not easy to describe. Often floral or spicy, but each batch is different so that will have to be a surprise. The middle is a mix of dried lavender and wood shavings. The egg-box cup is then topped up with wax and a wick inserted.
