Dry, lightweight softwood kindling takes a flame straight away, even with a single match or small firelighter. The thin sticks catch instantly, giving you a strong first flame without effort.
RELIABLE FIRE STARTER
Once lit, kindling burns hot and fast, creating the essential base of heat that heavier logs need to catch. Without it, logs can smoulder or struggle, but with it the fire builds cleanly and quickly.
SUPPLIED IN HANDY NETS
Each net holds a bundle of evenly cut sticks, ready to use straight from the bag. Three nets per order means you’ll have a solid stock to hand, without taking up much storage space.
PAIRS WITH KILN DRIED LOGS
Kindling bridges the gap between firelighters and hardwood fuel. It takes the flame from the lighter and transfers it to the logs, making every fire simpler to start.
Frequently Asked Questions
How much kindling do I need to start a fire?
Usually 6–8 sticks of kindling are enough to get hardwood logs burning, depending on stove size and draft.
Can kindling be used without firelighters?
Yes — if it’s dry and thin enough, kindling can be lit with just matches or paper. But pairing it with a firelighter makes lighting quicker and more reliable.
What type of wood is used for kindling?
Kindling is typically softwood, cut into small sticks that catch easily. It burns hot and fast to give logs the heat they need to ignite.
Is kiln-dried kindling better than air-dried?
Kiln-dried kindling lights faster, burns hotter, and produces less smoke. Air-dried can work, but only if stored very dry.
How should I store kindling?
Keep kindling in a dry, ventilated space. Nets are handy because they allow airflow and stop the wood from sweating or going mouldy.
Can kindling be used for barbecues or fire pits?
Yes — it’s useful for starting any type of solid-fuel fire, including stoves, open fireplaces, fire pits, and charcoal barbecues.
