FIRE UP Natural Sustainable Firelighters – Perfect for lighting BBQs, fireplaces, and open fires - FSC Certified and Co2 Neutral – NO palm oil (Pack of 28)

Product Information

Like the last products, these ones light in seconds and they create a very strong, long-lasting fire with only one or two of the firelighters. They have no chemical smells, again made from natural, sustainable materials, which we love! Especially as it means they don’t leave a smell on your hands.

Homefire Twizlers (Wood Wool) Firelighters 300g (best eco firelighters and keep flame the longest – A VERY CLOSE SECOND FROM TESTING) 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. Another one without the chemical smells which is great! (Again, because of the natural, sustainable materials, so this one is environmentally friendly, too). The good thing about this is that you can use these for pizza ovens and bread ovens as you don’t have to worry about any nasty smells or chemicals contaminating your food. I’ve tried these on my BBQ and the same went for the food as it was odour free. You will save time, energy and perhaps keep a little more of your sanity. As we said before, building a fire (even with fire starters such as matches and lighters) isn’t always a stroll in the park. Why struggle when you can keep things nice and breezy at all times?The biggest problem is how many firelighter bundles you need. Push all your charcoal into a pile if you don’t have a bbq starter and pile it as has as possible. This gives you the best chance of the flame filtering it’s way through and catching light to your charcoal. Here’s an example in a bbq starter of how effective these firelighters are when charcoal is piled high and there is plenty of air circulation: My bbq chimney starter in use: Eco firelighters work best when the charcoal is piled high and there is plenty of air circulation Materials are good for environment For purchasing environmentally friendly firelighters and charcoal briquettes, Fire-Up B.V. is the place to be. While our company previously focused on offering an extensive range for 'outdoor living & cooking', we now focus on a core range of fire-related products for stoves, fireplaces and barbecues, among others. The environment is very important to us. Therefore, we only sell high quality sustainable products such as sustainable and natural charcoal briquettes and firelighters. Sustainable business: firelighters & charcoal briquettes from Fire-Up The brown Fire-Up firelighters are rapidly becoming popular. That's because they are quite easy to use, odourless, have unlimited shelf life and, above all, are very safe. Unlike fire starter liquid, the flame source remains concentrated after lighting and can be removed with a pair of tongs if things go wrong. With brown firelighters there is no risk of explosion. Because the brown Fire-Up firelighters are made of vegetable oil and untreated softwood, they are non-toxic and are thus very suitable for lighting the BBQ. The Natural Eco Wood Firelighters last for 5 to 8 minutes with a strong flame all the way through that period

As firelighters tend to do, these do shed slightly but that’s not a problem – you can always throw the excess shedding in the fire for more kindling. They really make lighting the barbecue so much easier. And I no longer have to use an entire newspaper to try and get the fire going. The fire they burn is very strong and reliable as well. Safety is paramount with any substance that is used for incineration. Firelighters are always a safe option to start a fire as it lights instantly and does not cause flare-ups, smoke or violent flames.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 bags are made of plastic-free paper, so they burn cleanly. The combination of these materials allows the fire starters to burn for over eight minutes when you light them, and after testing these, I did find they did burn for 7-8 minutes. This is plenty of time to get the kindling. The details state that they’ve been dipped in paraffin wax, which you can see as they are reasonably dense and stay together well. Just don’t crush them too much (obvious, I know but worth drawing attention to) as they will crumble slightly and could come apart. From opening the box, they seem bigger than average which is great so you only need one or two to start a fire. The one thing I’d note is that they are all slightly different sizes but that isn’t really an issue as even the smaller ones are still a very decent size.

You also don’t need many to get a fire started – three or four would be fine depending on how big your fire/bbq is – also factor damp – yes these will even burn strong enough for charcoal that you’ve let get damp – somehow on my Uniflame charcoal bbq the charcoal got damp in the cupboard under the grill, and these still got the charcoal going!. So great value for money and a genuine practical product – I have done my best to state the negatives, there just aren’t many. It’s a real step up from the nasty paraffin firelighters that are white and make your hands stink! Here’s what happens when you put a few in a bundle and place a bbq starter full of big lumpwood charcoal on top in about 5 minutes: Each one burns for around eight minutes, which is enough time to to my kindling going. 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. Pros This is wood from trees that are planted, grown and harvested in ways that benefit the planet. 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. Really happy with these – as you can see in the video they just go. There’s no trouble getting a fire alight and keeping it that way – a little smoke off the bat but you get that with all charcoal bbq’s! Priced sensibly for a good few bbq’s, the Homefire Twizlers are a great first option at really good value for money. Small pieces of wood brought together, these firelighters have a wax coating to keep them from shedding.

If you want to see some tips on buying your natural & eco firelighters, go ahead to the Buyer’s Guide To Natural & Eco Firelighters at the top. 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. We would have to say that it isn’t ideal for a few reasons. The hydrocarbons included in lighter fluids do not break down easily, and that means you are ingesting them right along with your food or breathing in the fumes from your fireplace. Of course this isn’t lethal, however it isn’t great for your health over time.
