If you have ever started a fire, whether it be in a fireplace, wood stove, or fire pit, you most likely already know that getting the fire started can be a bit more difficult than just laying wood on the grate and lighting it. It may seem silly but starting a wood fire can actually be tricky at times! Using firestarters can make it so much easier on you!

Starting a fire without Firestarters

I heat primarily with wood and start many fires so I never like to be without firestarters on hand. My most recent experience of being without was just this past fall when it starts chilling off quickly here in Michigan. I got home from work and thought that it would be nice to stoke up the stove and give the heater a break. An easy enough task until I reached for my box of firestarters and it was empty. I gave it my very best attempt I even tried out some DIY fire starter ideas that involved things that I could find in my home like dryer lint, toilet paper rolls, and good old newspaper. They all burned but not nearly as well or as long as the fire starters that I am used to.

It’s much more convenient to come home, add wood, light a couple firestarters, and watch the fire take off. I did eventually get the fire started but it took much longer than it should have. I was very frustrated and I smelled like I had been sitting by a bonfire. So that is why today I am going to give you a friendly reminder to stock-up on firestarters before you end up in a similar situation.
