Bring a touch of creativity and sustainability to your hearth with the Stove Fan Company’s Make Your Own Firelighter DIY Kit, designed especially for log stove and fireplace enthusiasts. This isn’t just another firelighter—it’s a hands-on crafting experience that’s fun for the whole family, and the result? A set of 100 high-performance, eco-friendly firelighters that burn clean, low smoke, and odourless for up to 10 minutes. Whether you’re gathered around your wood stove on a chilly evening or preparing for a cosy fireplace night, these firelighters offer an efficient, natural way to get the fire started—every time.
Perfect for Crafting and Creating with the Family
Why settle for boring, store-bought firelighters when you can make your own, adding a personal touch to every flame? With this kit, you’ll get all the materials and easy-to-follow instructions you need to craft firelighters that are safe for kids aged 8+ (with supervision) and fun for adults too. The process is simple yet rewarding—mixing sustainable ingredients like soy wax and kiln-dried wood, and even adding decorative elements like pine cones, dried herbs, or essential oils for an enhanced aroma when burned. Just imagine lighting up your log stove, and as the flames catch, they carry a subtle, natural fragrance of pine or lavender.
Eco-Friendly and Made to Perform
Let’s be honest—many store-bought firelighters are packed with chemicals that smell bad, create unnecessary smoke, and are downright wasteful. That’s where Stove Fan Company’s DIY Kit outshines the competition. Made with 100% natural ingredients in Newcastle, these firelighters burn cleaner, hotter, and longer than conventional options, all while being completely non-toxic and odourless (as standard). The slow-burning start ensures a strong, steady flame that’s perfect for log stoves, fireplaces, or even outdoor fire pits. Plus, they’re much safer to handle than traditional chemical firelighters, making them an eco-conscious choice without sacrificing performance.
Why Choose These Over Store-Bought Firelighters?
If you’ve ever struggled with firelighters that fizzle out or produce thick smoke, you’ll appreciate just how reliable these handcrafted firelighters are. They burn for up to 10 minutes, giving your logs plenty of time to catch and ignite, and because they’re made with kiln-dried wood and soy wax, they release less smoke than standard firelighters. That means cleaner air in your home and a more enjoyable, hassle-free fireplace experience. And unlike most store-bought options, you can customize these with natural, aromatic elements for an added personal touch—something that not only makes them better for your home but also better for the environment.
Why You Don’t Want to Be Without This Kit
Picture a cold winter evening, a fireless fireplace, and you’re scrambling with firelighters that just don’t seem to work. They smoke up your living room and leave a mess, and the fire struggles to catch. Not with these eco firelighters. Without them, you’re stuck with the same old frustrations—so why not skip that hassle entirely? This DIY kit ensures that you’ll always have reliable fire-starting solutions on hand, crafted by you or your family, and ready to deliver every time. Don’t let a good fire fail before it even gets started.
