FAQs

What type of wood is used in Proper Wood Kindling?

Proper Wood Kindling is made from 100% premium kiln-dried hardwood. It specifically contains no pine wood, ensuring a cleaner and more efficient burn.

What does 'Ready to Burn' certified mean?

'Ready to Burn' certification means the fuel has been tested and meets industry standards for dryness (below 20% moisture content), efficiency, and environmental impact, ensuring a cleaner burn with lower emissions.

How long does the 4.5kg box last?

The duration depends on usage frequency and the size of fires. For typical use in a wood-burning stove or fireplace, using 2-3 sticks per fire, a 4.5kg box can last for many fire-starting sessions.

Can this kindling be used for outdoor cooking like BBQs?

Yes, Proper Wood Kindling is ideal for outdoor use, including BBQs, fire pits, and chimineas, providing a quick and clean start to your cooking fire.

Is the packaging environmentally friendly?

Yes, the kindling is supplied in a strong, recyclable, and plastic-free carry box, making it a sustainable choice for storage and transport.

How should I store the kindling to keep it effective?

Store the kindling in a cool, dry place, ideally in its original packaging, to maintain its low moisture content and ensure it ignites easily every time.

Will this kindling help keep my chimney cleaner?

Yes, the pure hardwood composition and low moisture content result in fewer emissions and reduced creosote buildup compared to damp or softwood, contributing to a cleaner chimney.

Troubleshooting

Kindling is not igniting easily

Ensure the kindling is dry and has been stored correctly. Check that you are using an adequate amount (2-3 sticks) and that there is sufficient airflow around the kindling and firelighter.

Fire dies down too quickly

This can indicate insufficient kindling or that larger logs are too large or not seasoned properly. Add more kindling or ensure you are transitioning to larger, dry firewood once the kindling is well-established.

Excessive smoke during ignition

While this kindling is low-smoke, an initial puff of smoke is normal. Ensure proper ventilation in your appliance. If smoke persists, check that your chimney or flue is clear and drawing effectively.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Starts fires quickly and reliably.
  • Burns hotter and longer than softwood alternatives.
  • Produces less smoke and fewer emissions.
  • Reduces creosote buildup, contributing to a cleaner chimney.
  • Sustainably sourced and certified for quality and environmental standards.
  • Convenient and durable packaging for easy storage and handling.

Cons

  • Higher price point compared to basic kindling.
  • May be overkill for occasional, very small fires.
  • Requires dry storage to maintain optimal moisture content.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To initiate a fire, place 2-3 sticks of Proper Wood Kindling with your preferred natural firelighter (e.g., rolled paper, wool fire starters) into your appliance. Arrange them to allow for good airflow and light the firelighter. Once the kindling is burning strongly, gradually add larger pieces of seasoned firewood.

Compatibility: This kindling is compatible with all standard indoor and outdoor fire appliances, including wood-burning stoves, fireplaces, pizza ovens, BBQs, fire pits, and chimineas. It is designed for use with pure hardwood logs and should not be used with accelerants other than standard firelighters.

Care: To maintain its low moisture content and ensure optimal performance, store the kindling in a cool, dry place, away from direct moisture. The provided recyclable carry box is designed for this purpose, keeping the wood protected. Avoid storing in damp sheds or directly on the ground.
