The wood is derived from old pine stumps, left as the waste of logging, it’s made by splitting the stumps of pine trees which have the highest amount of resin that is natural. As the stump wood ages over time and the sap or resin is absorbed to produce an all-natural, organic, and chemical-free fire-starter. Therefore, wood that is fat is safe to make use of. Our Fatwood is sourced from non-rainforest areas from Central America. It’s a part of our commitment to sustainable forests. Live trees aren’t cut to make Fatwood and we only harvest non-endangered species of pine.

The stumps are divided into pieces approximately 8” long and 3/4 inches in diameter. We’ve found this to be an ideal and perfect size for nearly every application. If you want to use it on the stove, at the backyard barbecue, or even a pellet stove, or even on the forest floor while camping, the Fatwood Firestarter is the best option. Yes, there is a reason that every Fatwood is kindling but not all of it is Fatwood. Fatwood Firestarter consists of two components: pinewood and the resin produced in the tree. It’s 100 100% natural. As the tree grows and grows, the natural resin flows downwards, before slowly accumulating within the stump over time.

With this large amount of natural resin, there’s no need for chemicals or other additives. While they’re still the most preferred method of starting the fire, chemical firestarters release toxic fumes and gases in the air. Many of these firestarters include waxes, gels, as well as lighter fluids. Contrary to the majority of items available on the market, Fatwood Firestarter can be utilized for any outdoor or indoor circumstance. It is a natural, healthier, more environmentally-friendly choice. Other options for starting fires include compressed logs comprised of sawdust and chemical and sticks made of books that have been recycled and chemically treated pine cones. A lot of products available today are made from scrap materials like sawdust which are compressed to form sticks and are bound with binding agents to maintain their shape. The kindling products that are made of natural hardwoods like cedar aren’t as easy to light, and they don’t retain a constant flame. They do not are as high in resin and water-repellency that is Fatwood as well as their speedy “light ability.’
