Getting a fire going should be easy. But if you’ve ever struggled with damp paper, chemical cubes or awkward firelighters that just won’t catch, you’ll know it doesn’t always go to plan.
That’s where natural fire starters come in. They’re clean, quick to light, and far better for your home, your health and the environment. Whether you’re using a woodburner, fire pit, pizza oven or hot tub stove — a good firelighter can make all the difference.
At The Logsmith, we only offer natural fire starters — made from renewable materials, free from chemicals, and designed to burn cleanly every time.
Here’s why that matters.
No chemicals, no fumes
Most supermarket firelighters are made from paraffin or petroleum-based wax. When burned, they release a strong chemical smell — not ideal if you're cooking food or lighting a stove indoors.
Our natural firelighters are made from compressed wood shavings and plant-based wax. They’re completely odourless, non-toxic, and safe to use around children, pets and food.
Perfect for pizza ovens and BBQs
Because there’s no paraffin or synthetic materials, natural fire starters won’t taint the taste or smell of your food. That makes them ideal for pizza ovens, BBQs and smokers, where clean combustion and neutral flavour are key.
They’re also smokeless and don’t spit — giving you a safer, more controlled ignition when cooking over open flame.
Fast and easy to use
A natural firelighter only needs one match to ignite — and once lit, it burns for up to 8–10 minutes. That’s more than enough time to light your kindling and get your logs or briquettes started.
They’re reliable in all weather, work indoors and outdoors, and are especially helpful for businesses that need fast, consistent results — like glamping sites, restaurants or wood-fired spas.
Cleaner air, better fire
Using a high-quality firelighter helps your fire catch faster and burn more efficiently. You’ll get stronger flames from the start and reduce the amount of smoke and soot your fire produces.
When paired with kiln dried logs or briquettes, natural fire starters support better air quality — both inside and out — and reduce the build-up of tar in your flue or chimney.
Plastic-free and easy to store
All our fire starters are packaged plastic-free and delivered in compact, recyclable boxes. They’re dry, clean to handle, and store neatly with your logs or kindling. There’s no mess, no crumbling cubes, and no unpleasant residue.
At The Logsmith, we only sell all-natural fire starters to match our ultra kiln dried logs, briquettes and kindling. Whether you’re lighting a log burner, heating a hot tub or firing up a pizza oven, our firelighters make it simple.
Clean flame, no fuss — exactly how fire should be.
