Product Information

Normally you'd look for dry wood, such as tree limbs, tree twigs and branches, or split wood if at an organized campsite. If you just continue adding big sticks, this will suffocate the fire and keep oxygen from entering the area. Purchasing kindling from a reputable company such as The Firewood Centre ensures that the kindling is free of paint or finishes that can impair and damage chimneys and wood stoves. Smouldering fuel to try to extend burn time is bad for your stove, flue and the environment due to unburned particulate matter in the smoke. They will burn quicker than Hotmax or other cobs but will ignite a well-laid wood based fire easily and effectively.

Our kindling is naturally dried and cut to ensure it has reached the ideal level of dryness to spark and grow a flame into a roaring fire.

Even if the kindling is dry and burns well, if the logs are too high in moisture content then this can prevent the flames from spreading to the logs. Grab a handful of kiln dried kindling sticks and place inside your wood burning or multi-fuel stove. Kindling, much like logs, should be low in moisture content to catch fire quickly and burn fast and hot.

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends that the ideal moisture content for firewood is between 15-20%. However, there is a fine line between what can be used as tinder and what can be used as kindling––sometimes certain material can be used for both purposes.
