If you’re buying logs or briquettes, don’t forget to add kindling to your order. It might look like a small extra — but it plays a big role in getting your fire started quickly, safely and cleanly.
Whether you’re lighting a woodburner, fire pit, pizza oven or wood-fired hot tub, kindling helps you build a strong base of heat that gets your main fuel burning efficiently from the start.
Here’s why it matters — and why we always recommend including it with your firewood delivery.
Faster ignition, every time
Kindling is small, dry, and designed to catch easily. It burns hot and fast, creating the high temperature needed to get your logs or briquettes going.
When used with a natural firelighter, it gives your fire a reliable boost from the very first spark. That means fewer false starts, less frustration, and no wasting matches or time.
Essential for kiln dried logs and briquettes
Kiln dried logs and briquettes are dense — which is why they burn so efficiently. But that also means they need a hot flame to get going.
Adding kindling gives your fire a gradual build-up. The firelighter lights the kindling, the kindling lights the logs. It’s a clean, layered method that ensures consistent results whether you’re burning indoors or outside.
Works in all conditions
Because our kindling is ultra dry and carefully selected, it performs well year-round — even in cold or damp weather. If you’re lighting a fire outside, in a hot tub stove, or on a windy evening, kindling helps you get the flames going without hassle.
It also saves time in busy commercial settings like spas, restaurants or holiday lets, where reliable ignition makes all the difference to efficiency.
No need to chop your own
Sourcing or splitting kindling yourself takes time — and can be messy, inconsistent or even dangerous if you’re not using the right tools. Buying it ready-cut and packaged with your firewood means less effort and less stress.
We supply clean, dry kindling in handy bundles that store neatly alongside your logs, briquettes or firelighters — no prep needed.
Small addition, big improvement
Kindling is one of the most useful fire-starting tools you can have — and for the small cost of adding a bundle or two to your order, you’ll get better, more reliable burns from every fire.
At The Logsmith, our kindling is cut to size, ultra dry, and packaged ready to burn — ideal for homes, businesses and outdoor cooking.
Add it to your next order and make lighting your fire simple, safe and stress-free.
