What is Kindling?
Kindling is small, dry sticks of wood that are used to get your fire burning. They are small pieces that catch fire quickly, thanks to their low moisture content. They burn hot and fast, helping to light your kiln dried logs and get your fire going.
Quick and Easy to Use
One of the main reasons to use kindling wood, is it is able to light your fire quickly. Unlike larger logs that take time to catch alight, kindly burns quickly due to its dryness and small size. Place the kindling below your Ready to Burn certified kiln dried logs to create a consistent and strong fire base.
Reliable
Kindling is very reliable when looking for a high quality fire starter, even in the most challenging conditions. If you have experienced adverse weather and all your seasoned wood is wet, your kindling will get the fire started. Remember wet wood is never good to burn, it will produce a lot of smoke, not a lot of heat, and will create creosote, which increases your chances of a chimney fire.
Eco Friendly and Sustainable
Kindling promotes environmentally friendly and sustainable fire lighting practices. Rather than relying on chemical fire lighters, which release harmful pollutants into the air, kindling wood are natural and safe.
Important Safety Tips When Using Wood Kindling or Natural Fire Starters
Kindly is highly efficient as a fire starter, but you need to learn how to use them safely. When lighting kindling, it’s advisable to keep your distance from the flames, as they catch quickly and burn hot and fast. A good option is to use long matches to avoid getting too close.
There should be adequate ventilation in the area when starting a fire. Avoid lighting kindling in an enclosed area without ventilation to avoid smoke build up and harmful gasses. Know your local fire regulations, especially when living in a smokeless zone.
