The secret to a successful, stress-free fire is using excellent kindling. A common mistake is using newspaper or small pieces of scrap wood, which burn out too fast. Our kindling is specifically prepared—small, dry, and uniformly sized—to maximise surface area and minimise moisture, making it a reliable intermediary between the firelighter and the main logs. Our kindling ensures a smooth transition to a full, sustained fire.

What is kindling?

Kindling is small, highly combustible pieces of wood or other material used to start a fire. It is crucial because it provides the initial, intense heat needed to raise the temperature of the larger main logs to their ignition point. Without it, the large pieces of firewood would simply smoulder and struggle to burn efficiently. FLAM.ECO’s kiln dried kindling is low in moisture, ensuring it catches fire quickly.

How to store kindling wood inside

While kindling is small and generally easy to handle, proper indoor storage is important to keep it perfectly dry and ready for immediate use. Store it in a breathable container, such as a metal bucket, wicker basket, or a specially designed log carrier, next to your fireplace or stove. The key is to keep it away from direct moisture, spills, and condensation. Keeping a small, manageable amount indoors ensures it's at room temperature, which aids in quicker ignition, while the rest of your stock should remain in a dry log store.
