Envirolog Firestarters: Igniting Your Fires the Eco-Conscious Way

October 30, 2023

EnviroLog’s earth-friendly firestarters are the perfect solution for those that have difficulty starting a fire. These portable and easy-to-use firestarters are made from recycled candle wax and provide a great alternative to kindling, wood shavings, wood chips, starter blocks, lighter fluids and ethanol-based gels. Let’s explore the features and benefits of EnviroLog firestarters, how they work, and why they are the perfect choice for your wood stove, fire pit, or campfire.

Efficient and Easy to Use


Each EnviroLog Firestarter provides up to 20 minutes of burn time with tall and consistent flames that can even light firewood that has been dampened with light snow or rain. They can also be used to light your charcoal grill. Burned to completion, each is 100 percent consumed and leaves no mess to clean up.

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to use EnviroLog Firestarters.


  1. Prepare Your Fire Pit or Fireplace: Ensure that your fire pit or fireplace is clean and free of debris. Remove any ashes or leftover wood from previous fires to provide a clean base for your fire.
  2. Arrange Your Firewood: Stack the wood logs in the desired arrangement, ensuring adequate airflow and space for the fire to breathe. Place larger logs at the bottom and smaller pieces on top for easier ignition.
  3. Place the Firestarter: Position an EnviroLog Firestarter in the center beneath your firewood arrangement. If necessary, you can use multiple firestarters for larger fires or in windy conditions.
  4. Light the Firestarter: Use a long match or a lighter to ignite the edges of the cup.
  5. Allow It Time to Work: Once the firestarter is lit, allow the flame to ignite the surrounding firewood. You can add kindling or paper as necessary to help your firewood ignite. This process may take a few minutes, but the fire starter will effectively ignite the firewood and start your fire. If your firewood is damp from heavy rain, allow it time to dry out a bit before attempting to light it. Wet wood tends to smoke when it comes in contact with a flame.
  6. Monitor and Adjust: As your fire grows, monitor it closely to ensure that it stays contained within the fire pit or fireplace.
  7. Enjoy Your Fire: Sit back, relax, and enjoy the cozy warmth and ambiance of your fire. Remember to follow proper fire safety guidelines and never leave the fire unattended.
