They do their job more than adequately – they light fires! The only reason for 4 stars as opposed to 5 is that all of these products seem expensive for what they are.
Only ever need one to get the fire going alongside good dry kindling & a few scrunched up sheets of news paper.
I keep them in the cupboard under the tv & there is next to no smell from them aside from a very faint wax candle smell if you stick your head in the box!
IMO you cannot even begin to compare these to the normal small cube style fire lighter.
they may appear expensive compared to a 2 box but you get over 200 of these.
I expect the box will certainly last me the whole fire lighting season for the year & we lit our fires a lot in the winter in Northern Ireland.
I’ve been using these natural fire lighters for a while now, and I have to say, I’m impressed. They’re made from natural materials like wood shavings and wax, so they don’t leave any unwanted smells or chemicals behind. Also they’re tightly wound and last a long time. And let me tell you, starting a fire has never been easier. Just pop one of these babies in the fireplace, strike a match, and voila! A roaring fire in no time.
But the best part? These fire lighters are easy to store and take up very little space. So, whether you’re a camping enthusiast or just someone who likes to cozy up by the fireplace on a cold winter’s night, these natural fire lighters are a must-have.
In conclusion, I highly recommend these natural fire lighters to anyone looking for an easy, sustainable, and high-quality way to start a fire. And if you’re not convinced yet, just imagine the satisfaction of lighting a fire with a product that won’t harm the environment. Trust me, it’s worth it!
PS: Oh, and don’t worry about running out of matches, these bad boys will light up even if you strike a wet piece of spaghetti on them
These are brilliant easy to use, no smell and the box lasts for ages
Easy to use and gets the fire going nice and easily..
Just pop 2 of these in the log burner with kindling and it gets the fire going with no fuss
Used for helping to light a log fire. Well packaged and fast delivery. Easy to use and work well.
Much easier to use than standard paraffin ones, and no smell in the room when we light the stove
Lights my wood burning stove with ease, even if I use small logs to start, just one firelighter gets it going, great!!
i do like these to start log burners with, but was shocked to see that price has doubled, yes doubled in 12 months.
Great little fire lighters. Do the job really well and they don’t have the horrible fumes of standard fire lighters. I won’t use anything else now.
These work really well….. Very easy to light, burn well and get the wood burning well…. Used in our wood-burning stove we’ve never had a lighting failure with these……
I don’t know. Ordered for someone else, they had before so good i guess.
These are excellent fire lighters much better than any shop bought ones.
I was a bit dubious about using them at first but after using them for the first time with my log burner I will definitely be using these again.
These work very well in my log burner. They burn well. Very easy to use.
Good , do what they say but some are tiny about 1/5 of size of ones bought from B&M so have to use 2
Brilliant , litteraly only need one to light my wood burner. Will never use parafin firelighters ever agai
Used this product for the mulit burner in lounge, this product reallydoes last quite some time, keeps the fire hot, drop a few logs on top, and it’s not long before you have flames
hese are better than the smelly firelighters. Does what it is supposed to do, lights the fire well
This is the second box we have ordered. They are clean and light well. You only need one to get the fire going
Could have been made a little longer for more fire spread in log burne
Excellent product it burns long so allowing the logs to catch fire and bu
We have a Log burner only need one with small amount of kindling and fire is away. Very happy with purchase, friend bought some too. Highly recommend, enough for whole winter. Great price saves keeps buying small bags.
You have a roaring fire in no time at all. Brilliant, will buy agai
One needed to light our wood burner, lasts long enough for kindling and small logs to catch . And away the fire goes. Excellent product and value.
These work very well for lighting a fire – they are easy to light, burn for a reasonable time, and they smell just fine, unlike more traditional firelighters.
Easy to use on fire , burn quickly and for a long time . I will buy again .
Very happy. Been using very expensive ones until circumstances changed. Tried these and wouldn’t switch back. They are different sizes but so what! They work amazing!! Very happy. Will come back for more next year.
This product is excellent and I prefer them to other firefighters I’ve used as they have no discernible odour.
With these babies I’m able to start fire in my log burner with ease. Stick 2-3 in and don’t bother with kindlings, straight to medium dried logs. Burns for quite some time, although I didn’t measure how long it does start the roaring fire soon.
1 fire lighter is all you require to start a good fire, main purpose is for log burner, no smell of waxy residue as old white blocks leave.
I go out of my way to avoid this site because of the quality of products now, but this is one of the rare exceptions. In my experience these work very well and make fire starting in a wood burner very easy.
Use them for lighting a log burner. They work every time.
ideal slightly cheaper version of these handy fire lighters. a bit loose in design to others, so tend to burn out quicker, but still good for purpose and i will be using these due to cost from now o
Prefer these natural firelighters to the smelly fuel based ones, first time of using and I must say I am impressed with them
No going back to paraffin based ones now. These light quickly, burn long and well. And they don’t stink. Fabulous.
These are brilliant for lighting my log burner easy to use easy to light and burn well would recommend better than the block lighters I think
Always use these types of firelighters, great burn time and no smell.
CARE: Store away from fire source.
I’d definitely recommend these eco firelights. We use 1 with some kindling on top and the fire will be away within 2 to 3 minutes.
They don’t smell and they are a nice size. Can’t fault them at all, we will definitely be buying more from this company.
Dies exactly what it promises. So much better than those smelly synthetic firelighters.
These are great. Work really well and there are loads of them!
Will buy again.
These work brilliantly. Find them easier, cleaner and more effective than the brand I was previously using. Would definitely buy again. Extra points for being eco friendly!
Best firefighters ever. 2nd purchase. 1st box lasted a year. I will never buy other firefighters ever again. No residue, no smell, lasts ages, what more could you want. From cold to roaring in under 2 mins: light your fire lighter and put into the fire. Close burner door slightly to let the chimney warm up (stops your fire smoking out the room), don’t forget to open all vents, add kindling and shut door (leave 30 seconds), add your log (small is best to start but I went crazy for effect ), shut burner door, roaring in a minute. Don’t forget to shut your vents to save wood when the fire is really going (20 mins). Easy peasy.
We really like these, and recommend them. They are easy to use and one is enough to get our stove going.
Very good firelighters, very effective (I used two as I have large woodburner’s; very cost effective – cheaper than newspaper. Would recommend and would purchase again. Delivery as advised, no issues. Very pleased.
I came across these as always trying to improve on my commitment to purchase more environmentally friendly products. I thought I would have to use 2 or 3 to light the fire wood but with thoroughly dry wood, one is enough for the stove. So, a pack of 200 will go a long way. Recommended!
These eco-friendly firelighters are so much more pleasant to use than the waxy paraffin blocks, and they work right away – you never need to use more than one at a time.
Lay a couple of logs as a base. Then lay a couple of strips of kindling on top and a couple more the other way (90 degrees to the previous layer) one more log on top and one of these in the middle. Light it and you’re done!
This is a BIG Box of Firelighters, and although the first time I threw 4 or 5 in to get it started, you probably only really need 1 or 2, so this will last you a LONG time. They light INSTANTLY, there is no smell or much smoke as far as I could see, and burn for approx 10mins which is more than enough to get the fire started.
I am REALLY pleased with these, and will definitely be back for more when they run out!
Easy to use less effort with lighting a wood burning stove
Purchased in the summer to beat any price increases. Not used them yet. Hoping they will be as good as ‘flamers’ which I have used for years.
For use in a kamado – scent free and make lighting the charcoal easy.
This is the second box that I have bought……….which speaks for itself really.
Looking at them, you are tempted to use more than recommended……… don’t, they work.
I won’t be going back to the other style of fire lighters. These eco wood fire lighters light just as easy, last long enough for the kindling to catch properly and there’s no petrol smell in the house now we use these.
Great for BBQs and log burners no nasty chemical smells associated with std fire lighters. Always light fire first time
The sizes of the lighters in the box vary, with some half the size of less of others. Unfortunately there was also a lot of wastage in the box as the strands of the lighters very easily break off and must have done so in transit.
However, they do burn very well – even single small ones will get a good fire going using a top-down lighting approach in the wood burner. They burn for a long time and do not give off any smell, which is great.
Very high quality product. I use them in my woodstove and my pizza oven and they work perfectly.
I use these in my Kamado and they light really easily and get the coals going every time.
These are soo handy to use with a ooni pizza ove
Really love them. Easy to use, no bad smell and do the job. Use them both on a barbecue and indoors to start a fire.
Nothing to dislike. Lit bbq very easily, left no smell or taste. Great product.
Good firefighters. Have made getting my Kamado going a doddle!
Brilliant ! 200 will last a long time and very easy to light.
Use these in my pizza oven. Easy to light, no chemical smell or taste and they last long enough to get the fire going. Would recommend
Perfect, just what I needed. Easy to light the bbq and no chemicals
Bought there for my Kamado grill, they light super easily and got the coals started well
Bought this as a recommendation alongside some firewood and kindling. There are over 200 of these and you can get away with only using one per fire, given the heat they give out and the duration they stay lit. I’ve been using them in a dome pizza oven and an open BBQ to the same effect. Would buy again, but I think this box will last for years.
These are ideal for my Masterbuilt Gravity 800 BBQ. They are smaller than the last lighters I bought from another company. They fit into the lighting chamber will a little forced push. Cheaper option than the square Masterbuilt lighters. Great burn time and only one needed in my bbq.
These would be ideal for any other bbq as well. If you have bought good quality charcoal why wouldn’t you want to use a natural lighter.
Great product at a great price point.
Bought these to use on my BBQ for which they are excellent. My wife pinched some for the log burner when she ran out of traditional fire lighters and now wont go back. They are brilliant for a BBQ starter as they leave no residual smell on the coals or indeed even you. Just bought my second batch and will return for more when needed, defo.
Have never tried these before, but wanted something more eco-friendly. When they arrived, I saw that the sizes varied with some considerably larger than others. So, for my first fire, I tried lighting one without a paper layer, just kindling and logs, and the smallest Ecowood Firelighter I could find (all on it’s own).
What a mighty performance from the little chap! Easy to light, no smell, burned for ages, and with a good size flame.
Started that fire with no problem!
I have every confidence in recommending these firelighters, and no concerns about the variation in sizes as noted by other reviewers.
I have been using Flamers fire lighters for my various BBQs for many years but when my current box of them came close to empty I was just going to order another box of 200. I then noticed this product that was cheaper for the same number of fire lighters and had many more positive reviews so I decided to give them a go. Have just lite my first BBQ of 2022 using them (with the aid of a BBQ chimney) and I must say that they seem to burn hotter than the Flamers and start the charcoal quicker.
I love these fire lighters. Why didn’t we have these when we were kids? Oh no, it was all huge toxic blocks of white stuff which shattered when you tried to segregate the bricks from each other.
These are a breeze to use. Are made of wood and are, well, just more wholesome overall. One will light the fire but I usually bung 2 in for good measure.
There are loads in the box. I’ve bagged them up and stuck them in a cupboard as didn’t have room for another box in the house. Will buy them again in 2 years as what I have will last till then. Roll on Christmas!
Hope this review helped you.
Our company installs log burners, I always recommend these fire lighters to every customer and send them the link to purchase them from Amazon.
They are very efficient, no odour and more importantly contain no toxic chemicals like the bog standard lighters you would find at the store or garage forecourt.
Super easy to use, I always use them with our log burner, a few sticks of kindling and dry seasoned wood-Instant fire!
Wouldn’t use any other lighters again, and every now and then they run a reduced price deal so even better!
These are brilliant, there is no other description for them.
We have a multi-fuel stove (a fantastic Clearview) it is used extensively across the winter.
We came across these a few years ago and while I was sceptical I decided to try them out as I really did not like normal firelighters.
These don’t have that unpleasant chemical smell and are so easy to light.
Additionally they burn long enough to get either your kindling or small logs going properly with a normal level of air feed.
Considering you only need 2 or at most 3 to get the fire going, a box of these lasts a good long while.
Cost wise, compared to the bags you can buy in your local supermarket, they are way cheaper and pretty much the same thing.
In short, if you have a stove, or even a BBQ then you will want to try these out.
Overall I’m happy with this product, used very quickly and easily to light open fires, have tested its other potential uses too.
As for burn time, I’ve tested a few just to see, 10mins is a massive exaggeration, even the largest and fattest one only burnt for 6mins, so depending on what your use is just beware you won’t get near what’s stated.
Odourless, hmmmm don’t think so, thick black smoke that stinks is more to the truth, best used in an open space, I tested using on a Bushcraft stove as its primary fuel source, there is a lot of smell and mess tins or any other cooking item will get covered in real
Thick black soot.
I like them and have good use for them simply for throwing a very quick fire together while out camping, burns strong enough to start a fire from kindling, so do exactly what I require.
Only reason I’ve given lower rating is simply because description does not match actual product in the sense of odourless and burn time, which is false advertising
Eco, burn really well and have lasted me some time. Last ordered almost a year ago. They look small, but do the job perfectly. Every now and again (depending on wood in and set up within fireplace) I may have to use a second lighter to help start it, but I’d say these are perfect.
Some people are saying they vary in size. They may do ever so slightly, with an odd one smaller / bigger than average, but no-one should expect these to all be perfectly the same size. That’s first world problems in a nutshell.
The price even at 20 is good. Better price and quality than supermarket one’s, and please remember people that the sellers have to make a profit. If they don’t make a profit, they won’t be able to continue selling. I got it this time at 17.50 which I’m happy with. If it’s on sale for less, it’s a privilege, not an expectation.
I read the raving reviews for these and was pretty sceptical BUT wanting to find a more eco-friendly option which didn’t smell awful like traditional firelighters I decided to risk purchasing one box to try.
The box arrived promptly and again I was sceptical – considering there were 200 lighters the box was smaller than I expected and on opening and seeing the lighters themselves I was a bit surprised how small the lighters are.
BUT
So glad I did order them – they are fantastic – we only use 1 per fire – with some kindling with bigger wood on top in our woodburner and it has lit first time every time. Very impressive. No smell and easy to store a small bundle of them in our kindle bucket by the fire. 🙂
I only bought these because Waitrose ran out of the usual organic firelighters that I normally buy. I was sceptical that they would be worth the purchase. I now freely admit that I was wrong in my scepticism. I now believe that world of people who make fires, especially those with log burners is divided into two categories. Those who have discovered these amazing fire lighters (and wouldn’t use anything else) and those who have yet to discover them.
Awesome – they make lighting a fire so much easier than any other technique.
CONS: expect about 10% waste by volume in the box. This isn’t a complaint, as with a bit of coaxing all of the wax covered loose strands that have come off the bales will still work, but they tend to be less reliable than the bales in terms of a guaranteed fire.
If you found this review helpful, I’d be grateful if you clicked ‘Helpful’. Thank you
I was, to be honest, rather dubious about these firelighters but I can honestly say that I have been very surprised how good they have been. They are easier to light, first time is the usual performance and they stay alight. I pride myself on lighting my open fire with just one stick of kindling and so far I have not had a failure.
The 200 of these firelighters will last me all the way through to March, the finish of firing season I just hope that they will be in just as good a condition when I start lighting fires again in late autumn 2021.
They definitely deserve all the excellent reviews already posted on this site.
I was a bit dubious about these but the reviews were so good that I gave them a try. And the reviews are right – they are excellent. They smell pleasant and they’re eco, but most importantly they work. I use them for our log burner, in place of my usual kerosene firelighters.
As a few previous reviews have said, they are unequally sized, with some little bundles slimmer than others. I’ve I’d used either one big or two smaller ones, and they have reliably got the fire going with no trouble. They don’t look as if they would be this effective – I am really impressed and will be buying these again.
When we first got a fire in the house, lighting it was a bit of a minor challenge. Sometimes it would work, sometimes it wouldn’t. Sometimes I used chemical firelighters and, while they worked, the smell wasn’t great.
These wax/straw firelighters are really excellent. They don’t smell, at all. More importantly, though, they work, every single time. I don’t think I’ve had an instance of them not working. Simply put the wood down, some kindling on top, these on top of the kindling, and piece of wood the top it off, and light. Couldn’t be easier. I use 2-3 for each fire in my log burner, though I suspect 2 would be enough.
Very much recommended.
Absolutely love these.
This picture was taken 3 mins after ignition.
I used it this evening to light my log burner. Usually I love firelighters but I tend to use half or a quarter, build a teepee of kindling ontop of two logs and within half an hour my logs have caught and burn all night. It’s an art.
I read the reviews and instructions and chuckled to myself when I read reviews saying they used 3 or 4.
I built my fire the same as normal. Two logs on the bottom, the new natural firelighter in the middle and built a teepee of twigs/kindling up around it. Now, I’d only got 5 twigs left oops. And still, it caught in a few seconds, and then within mins the logs had caught fire. The balls of wood are firm and when up close smell like wax. Beautiful. It burned for around 10 mins, plenty of time to build heat for logs to catch.
I purchased these at 14 for 200. That’s 200 fires for 7p a fire. If I bought my usual firelighters from Tesco right now, 2.70for 30, that’s 9p per fire, lots of chemicals and plastic and paper packaging.
These arrived in a box. That’s it. A box that I can reuse and or recycle.
Highly recommend.
Forget liquid accelerants, chemical block firelighters or even quick light charcoal. Do yourself and your food you’re about to grill a favour. Use these natural firelighters, which DO NOT taint your charcoal and your food with a chemical smell or taste.
I use these in conjunction with a starter chimney and have the charcoal white within 15mins.
I previously bought a small bag of similar from the local supermarket for approx 4. It contained about 20 firelighters. Whereas this box you get 200! Amazing value.
Thank you.
I wasn’t sure what to expect from these as I’ve tried a few natural firelighters before that have been pretty poor – but so far these have been great. I’m using them to light my Ooni pizza oven and they work brilliantly. They light really easily – just wave a match over them – they stay lit and burn hot, igniting the wood pellets in just a few minutes. There are no nasty chemicals which is always a plus when using them for cooking.
There’s no plastic in the packaging just a cardboard box packed to the gills with firelighters.
Next task is to try them in the log burner when the weather permits.
These fire lighters are truly great. I bought the smaller box first, which has lasted for a year of barbecuing and Pizza baking.
Really easy to use and get my charcoal lit very easily; I do use a Webber charcoal lighting chimney which in itself makes the job a breeze. I pop 3 of these lighters onto the grill and place the chimney on t bet easily and within minutes, the coals are nicely lit. Might be able to get away with just one or two for lighting, but I’ve Done it this way for so long, is habit now.
Similarly, when lighting loud for the pizza oven, it’s been a breeze; so much more effective to use 2-3 of these than rolled up paper and pine cones.
They leave no after smell and are simple, clean and effective to use. Wish I’d found them years ago. Miles better than traditional spirit based fire lighters.
Having used similar products in the past to light my wood burner, I generally needed 4/5 to get the fire started.
When I received these I built the fire as usual and lit it – my god – it was like someone had thrown petrol on the fire. It soon died down, at which point I read the instructions, it does say one or two and it really means it.
They are brilliant firelighters, very efficient and long lasting and they have not failed to get one fire started.
Brilliant buy!
Our ECO firefighters arrived with next day delivery, just over the 200 in the box , a little smaller than we are use too and because my husband wants the wood burner fire roaring away quickly So he does use 2 of them !!
but if he were patient really 1 would work 😉
I normally purchase our wood shaving firelighters from B&M for less then 2 per bag , not sure on amount in the bag but looks a good bag full & a good Twice the size of these ECO ones , I would purchase these agin if B&M were out of stock .
Definitely recommend these has 200+ would last for a good amount of fires especially if my husband was not the one lighting your fire 🙂
While this type of lighter is effective, it often fills our lounge with acrid smoke resulting in us opening the windows and doors and defeating the objective of heating the room.
But not with these little beauties .. great instant lighting ( I usually use 3 to get the fire raging quickly) and a good handful of kindling ! But at last a fire lighter with no chemical smoke needing you evacuate all children and small animals ! Thank you ! Will definitely buy agai
Bought these to assist in lighting a stove fire. These are simply great, they light so quickly. Before you know it you have a
lovely fire. May I add also these are totally natural and there is no nasty toxic scent. So perfect to use in a household with
children, pets or anyone sensitive to abrasive smelling products. Thankyou for marketing such a product that is safe for
the environment aswell. A storage container for long term use to buy would be very useful.
These are by some way the easiest firelighters we have ever used: they ‘take’ easily, and burn well but for a nice, long time. After a couple of months’ use, we have not yet had a fire fail to ‘take’ when starting it with these. Such a good product.
The wax coating while being good for an easy light, it also helps in the typical damp uk conditions. I have woken up and realised we used them ‘all’ last night meaning the fire will be a chore. But you’ll find a discarded one of these randomly that was left outside in the damp/rain. Split a couple branches and you’ve got a breakfast fire.
I would estimate one purchase of the 200 box will last 20 camp trips easily. For 20 I think they are more than worth it, 2 extra per trip for quick fires. Brilliant.
P.S. tidy up after you wild camp. If you dig a hole for your campfire it’s easy to hide it afterwards.
Would buy agai
