These firelighter strips are made from the trimmings and selvedges of our beeswax wraps – a natural and non-toxic blend of cotton fabric, beeswax, tree resin and oil. Perfect for lighting your winter fires, sparking up the summer BBQ, or kicking off a roaring campfire adventure.
Just twist or scrunch up as much as you need to create your own custom-sized firestarters! Whether you want a tiny one for the BBQ or a chunky one for a damp fire, you’re in control.
Lightweight, compact and waterproof, our strips will even light after a dunking, making them a brilliant, flexible addition to any camping kit. Plus, they’re a more economical option — we leave the balling-up fun to you, so you save a bit more.
Strips are sold by weight, but we have noted the equivalent number of pre-made firelighters next to each option for your convenience - you may find you can make many more firelighters to suit your needs out of the same weight.
Supplied in cardboard boxes.
To use:
Take a strip or a few strips and twist or ball them up.
Set your fire and tuck your homemade firelighter in among the kindling.
Light the firelighter in place using a match (never while holding it).
Your firelighter will burn hot, long, and strong — giving your fire a great start.
Safety Notes:
- Do not store near fire - the wax blend may melt and stain the surface they are on.
- Do not light firelighter while holding it - these burn hot and catch fire quickly.
- Yes, they are colourful. NO, they will NOT make a beautiful alternative to birthday cake candles.
- Please make sure fires are only lit in a safe location, and ensure you follow all local seasonal fire restrictions.
- Always ensure that fires are properly contained and safely extinguished.
