🔥Ignite Firelighters

Last year, Woodfuel Direct sent me a couple of packs of their Hotties to review which worked really well both in a wood-burning stove and my Aquaforno.  What I didn’t mention was that they also gave me a packet of their Ignite Firelighters to try out, so what do I think? 

Well, made from renewable and untreated wood shavings that are dipped in wax, the first one I lit using a match took only a matter of seconds to ignite, and left alone burnt out in 9-minutes.  Next I piled some small pieces of wood in the base of my Ghillie Kettle and set another one alight, and within minutes I had a lovely, well established fire on which to boil some water for a mug of coffee.

To be honest, there isn’t much else to say about them as they worked boringly well, so well in fact that I dunked one in water and it still lit.  I’ve even left them outside overnight and they've ignited without hesitation. 

Woodfuel Direct say that they’re suitable for all stoves, open fires, campfires, pizza ovens, firepits and so on, pretty much anything in which you want a fire.  Not only are they made in the UK but they’re also FSC® Certified, though I don’t know what that last bit means!
