Feniks Firelighters 500pcs. in the box, For Fireplace, Stoves, Barbecues and Campfires

These are just as good as Flamers and much cheaper. I'll buy them again. I can't vouch for the burn time: if you have a modern, fuel-efficient log burner and it takes more than two minutes to get a fire going with one of these firelighters, what are you burning? Wet socks? How to get a good fire burning first time, every time: lay some dry branches, about as thick as a man's thumb, from left to right in the log burner. On top of these branches, place one firelighter in the middle, near the front. Add plenty of dry kindling. A tangle of twigs from the garden, left to dry for six months or a year, will do fine; with one of these firelighters, you don't need commercial kindling. Now lay thicker branches (but not your thickest) facing from front to back, perpendicular to the ones on the floor of the log burner, touching one another, so that the flames from the firelighter lick up between two of them. Ensure that the wood covers the floor of the burner, so that the fire reaches critical mass quickly; you don't want to have to open the door to add more wood while the log burner is still too cool to burn off the smoke. Turn the air up to maximum. Light the firelighter. Close the door. As soon as the fire starts to catch, gradually turn down the air coming from the floor of the burner, leaving open the air coming from the top to ensure complete combustion; that maximises the heat you get from the wood and minimises pollution. The time to add your largest logs is when the log burner has reached its operating temperature and the initial load of fuel is mostly burnt. When the fire is reduced to burning embers at bedtime, turn the air supply right down to prevent a cold draught from coming into the house. Above all, age your wood well, invest in a cheap moisture meter, and never burn anything that's more than 20% moisture, or 15% if you can manage it.

Easy To Light And Get My Logburner Going.

They just work - pop in a couple to start your fire and it's done. We use the top-down method in our wood burning stove and these are perfect for that, just placed underneath the kindling. They burn hot and stay lit for a good length of time. They are slightly waxy to the touch, but they don't leave an fuel or oily smell like those firelighters that the supermarkets sell. The only issue is that I suspect some of them unravel a bit - there is often lots of bits of loose wood strips. Just throw in a few with the firelighters... no problem really. They work well and you get loads in the box. Perfect!

These fire lighters are great, really easy to use and providing you’ve built your fire correctly you only need one to get it going. We have two wood burning stoves (a Charnwood C5 and a Heta Aspire 45) in different rooms and have consistently used these in them. They burn for about 8-10 minutes, I normally place one just under the top layer of kindling so the flames ignites that layer as well as the one below. Very occasionally one might burn in such a way that it falls to the bottom, but it still gives off such a large flame it can continue to ignite the fire. One minor criticism is that they do vary in size and can shed some of their fibres, especially when brought in bulk as they are sold on weight not quantity - you can however be selective in terms of which size you use.

I have 3 wood burning stoves, an outdoor oven and a Kelly Kettle so these firelighters have a lot of differing use. They work well and rarely need more than one, They do not appear to have any smell. They are long and thin, a little different to some of the others on the market but makes them perfect for the Kelly Kettle because I cut them into 2 or 3 pieces - I Know this is against the idea of a Kelly Kettle but I do use dry branches/sticks once it is started and I have had good results. Highly recommended and better priced than some similar firelighters. Update from 2019 I bought another box, more expensive than before and having checked today (1/1/20) they have increased again by approximately £2!! I have reduced the 5 to 4 not only because of cost but the firelighters themselves are half the length. They still work reasonably well but sometimes I need 2. In theory as these are sold by weight there should be more but I am not sure. My box was delivered in VERY poor condition, several holes and badly creased - this probably down to the carriers. These are still a reasonable product but the previous advantage over other dearer items is now not so good.

Excellent firelighters. Would never go back to the articifial ones that smell of kerosene!

This is my third box of Fenika Fire Lighters and I've always had excellent results with them. They aren't overly sticky to touch, there are LOADS packed into the box and they light VERY well every time. The only thing I'd say against them is they tend to be very mixed in size, some skinny (so I'd tend to use two) and some pretty chunky (so a single chunky one will suffice) but at the end of the day, what they look like doesn't really matter as they're only getting burnt anyway! Will happily keep purchasing them :-)

Have been using these for several years; highly reliable, with a nice long burn time and can get a BBQ lit very quickly with a chimney starter. I normally use 2-3 as they do vary slightly in size. They perform exactly as expected, and I'm now on my third reorder of 500, so I must be happy.

Muy buenas para comenzar a encender el fuego de la, chimenea, evitas lis humos

Sehr gute Anzünder. Sie lassen sich leicht anzünden und sind sehr praktisch ich muss kein Kleinholz mehr hacken, damit das Feuer startet. Die Menge ist groß, sie brennen gut und die Flamme hält lange. Einziger Nachteil: Sie haben einen leichten Geruch, aber wenn man die Packung geschlossen hält, ist das kein Problem. Insgesamt sehr praktisch und hilfreich.

Alle “wokkels” liggen uit elkaar en is een zooitje. Koop het niet!! Duurt lang voordat binnen is en dan grotendeels onbruikbaar

Jag använder alltid dessa för att tända i braskaminen. Brinner en bra stund så det får fyr ordentligt. Jag tycker dem är jättebra.

Très bons allume-feu.
