As we start approaching the cold winter season here in the UK, the idea of a warm fire becomes a comforting necessity. While the idea of a fire is a welcome comfort, you need to take the environment and your own well-being into consideration. This is why you should choose our environmentally friendly fire starters. They can be lit without smoke or odour, offering you a green way to get your fire going as quickly as possible.
What are Environmentally Friendly Fire Starters
Eco-friendly, or environmentally friendly, fire starters are made from natural and sustainable materials. They are designed to light quickly and efficiently. Unlike traditional fire starters, these are smokeless, odourless, and do not leave any nasty residue. They are the perfect choice for your indoor or outdoor fire.
What are the Benefits of Environmentally Friendly Fire Starters?
Environmentally friendly fire starers are great for starting your fire, but they also show your commitment to keeping your home environment healthy, free of any dangerous chemicals and smells. With each fire, you have chosen a way to reduce harmful emissions, support sustainability, while being kinder to the environment.
Natural Wood Fire Starters
At Thomson Wood Fuel Ltd, we supply natural wood fire starters, that are odourless wax coated fire starters, suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. You can use them in your open fireplace, log burner, or you can use them outdoors in your barbecue. They are fast to light and each fire starter burns up to eleven minutes, giving your fire more than enough time to catch alight.
These fire starters are made using an odourless natural soy wax, which is environmentally friendly and non-toxic, making it ideal for indoor use, or when lighting your pizza oven or camp fire.
How to Use Fire Starters Safely Indoors
When it comes to lighting a fire indoors, whether you are lighting a fire in your open fireplace or wood burning stove, there are some important safety suggestions we want to share with you. Our fire starters are ideal for indoor use, as they are environmentally friendly. They are only friendly to the planet when used correctly.
- Preparation – before you light your fire, ensure your fireplace or wood burner is clean with all ash and debris removed. This improves air circulation, while reducing the risk of fire hazards
- Fire Starter Placement – the fire starter should be placed under the kindling with plenty of space to allow ample air circulation to facilitate a better burn
- Light the Fire – any fire should be lit with caution. We recommend long-handled lighters to keep a good distance between your hand and the flame. Light the fire starter, allowing it to catch alight, burn, and light the kindling
- Monitor – do not light your fire and walk away, it requires monitoring at this early stage, as it catches alight. The fire should be burning steadily before adding kiln dried logs.
- Safety – never leave any fire unattended, especially not in the initial stages. To ensure safety, monitor your fire at regular intervals once it is burning effectively
- Ventilation – always ensure your fire has plenty of ventilation. Your chimney or flue should be clear and open before you start your fire
- Fire Safety Equipment – ensure you have the necessary fire safety equipment within easy reach when you have a fire lit in your home. Fire safety equipment includes a fire blanket, fire extinguisher, and a smoke detector
- Disposal of Ashes – Once your fire is out and cool, you will need to dispose of the ashes in a safe manner. We recommend placing them in a metal container outdoors, as they can retain heat for a few days.
