Lavender Fire Starter Sticks: Easier Bonfires with a Hint of Lavender
Save
Bonfire season is serious business around here. Our Lavender Fire Starter Sticks are a farm-made bundle made with lavender that makes getting a fire going a lot easier. Tuck them under your kindling, light them and enjoy a hint of lavender while the fire catches.
Building a fire, step by step
- Clear the space. Use a proper fire pit, fireplace or ring, and keep the area around it free of leaves, chairs and anything that can catch.
- Start with the bundle. Set the fire starter sticks in the center.
- Add kindling. Lean small, dry sticks or split kindling over the bundle in a teepee or log-cabin shape, leaving gaps for air.
- Light the bundle. Light it from the bottom so the flame climbs into the kindling.
- Feed it gradually. Add larger pieces of dry wood once the kindling is burning well.
Dry, seasoned firewood makes the biggest difference. Even the best fire starter struggles with wet logs.
Where they come in handy
- Backyard bonfires: s'mores night without the frustration.
- Camping: toss a bundle in the camping bin and you are set.
- The fireplace: a cozy winter night with less fuss.
- Cabins and cottages: a handy thing to leave by the wood stack.
Fire safety basics
Follow local burn rules and any fire restrictions where you are, especially when camping. Keep water or a shovel and sand nearby, keep kids and pets back from the flames and never leave a fire unattended. Before you head inside or to bed, drown the fire, stir the ashes and drown it again until everything is cool to the touch. In a fireplace, use the screen and make sure the damper is open before lighting.
Storing them
Keep the bundle somewhere cool and dry, away from heat sources and out of reach of children. Moisture is what keeps a fire starter from doing its job.
A practical gift
Fire starter sticks are a fun, useful stocking stuffer for campers, grill masters and anyone with a fire pit. Pair them with a cozy candle or a cinnamon broom in the Gift Box Builder.
Frequently asked questions
