Here at Lakeland, we’ve loved the captivating effect of the Northern Lights Colour Changing Fir Cones for many years now – positively mesmerising, they make a fabulous addition to the atmosphere of any wintry evening in front of the fire.
But we got thinking… why should it just be a winter’s night experience? After all, sitting under the stars around a campfire, fire-pit or chiminea with friends, family or your best-beloved is already a special occasion so why not add a little extra magic?
How they Work
Throw 2 or 3 of these little pine cones with a special coating into the flames of your fire and watch the medley of blues and greens turn the dancing flames into glorious technicolour, creating an effect that’s truly memorable.
Approx. 400g, 30 to 40 cones per pack. And even the hexagonal box can be burned.
About Northern Lights
Winter Woods are the largest employer in the tiny Wisconsin town of Glidden. The company was started as a one-man operation in 1976, by a US forestry worker who supplemented his income making festive wreaths. Owner Steve Lewis employed local people to help meet demand and, wanting to be able to offer a reliable year-round income, he racked his brains for new ways to expand the business. Realising that the pinecones lying on forest floors were going to waste, he offered the best ones to American florists and designers, while the smaller or damaged ones were dipped into a special copper sulphate solution which, as any chemistry teacher can tell you, burns in pretty blues and greens. So Winter Woods manage to save pine cones from going to waste whilst offering year-round employment to their local community without chopping down any trees unnecessarily.
Please note: remove all cooking grills before using in a fire-pit-style barbecue and do not cook above them, as the colour-changing coating can be harmful if swallowed.
Approx. 30 – 40 cones per pack.

I first bought these a few years ago and had forgotten how pretty and mesmerising they are to watch in the fire. A little pricy for what they actually are
Really nice product love putting a couple on the fire very expensive for what they are and the smaller ones only last a few minutes but I’m sure I’ll end up buying more in the future
Really beautiful colours with just a couple of cones, the colours lasted much longer than we expected. Added to the atmosphere of the evening. Would definitely recommend and will buy again.
Used on a wood burner and waited for the fire to reach temperature and the first big logs to burn. Added new logs and 2 cones in front of the base of the fire and turned temperature down to very low. I was getting continuous coloured flames with logs being added an hour later. Would recommend.
We’ve bought these about three times now, perfect in your wood burning stove throwing up blue flames and making a very magical light show. Last much longer than you’d think.
Also make a great Xmas gift for the man who has everything!
Highly recommend.
Thanks for making it a magical festive time. Theses cones are fantastic. Love them. Brought a smile thats for sure. Only placed one on to try in the pics. Looking forward to later to have some real fun.
Bright colours. Lasted a long time and looked great on both open fire pit and in my wood burner.
The pine cones are of a good size and you can see that they’re liberally dusted with the salts. The salt is well stuck onto the cones so they don’t all fall off in the bag.
A very colourful addition to your fire. They certainly dd different colour when thrown on. They are short lived, we found that in under 5 minutes they had burnt away. That aside, a great novelty .
Give them a try
Can’t wait for them family nights outside and everyone’s reaction to the vibrant colours of the fire.
I have now bought four more packs to give as Christmas gifts to friends and family who have fireplaces and wood burners – sharing the magic.
They arrived swiftly, are nicely packaged and rather glorious in a small way!
Purchased these before for years & always a great visual experience. I ordered two recently as gifts and found one to have its plastic packaging punctured, leaking copper sulphate all over. So to anyone ordering these whether for yourself or as a gift, I advise you to check the packaging upon arrival when opening the parcel.
A nicely presented product in a box that seems larger than expected.
The box was packaged well within protective bubble wrap and arrived promptly.
The flame colours are surprisingly vivid and definitely worth the price paid for a bit of fun.
Lasted me a while, though the strength of the colours tends to fade after a few minutes so depending on your usage it won’t last forever.
Buy some. They are lovely. However, I’d love someone to tell me definitively if it is safe to put the ash from the fire onto our compost heap after burning these: copper is death to plants, and I don’t know that it is all gone when the fire is done.
