Gelled Alcohol Fire Starter Liquid

Based on flammable alcohol, which is then thickened into a gel, alcohol fire starter liquid can be squirted onto the fuel and ignited with a single match. Depending on the brand, these starter liquids have varying burn times and may produce little to no harmful smoke, odor or flaring. It is a very convenient fire starter for fireplaces, pellet stoves and outdoor fire pits.

Wood Fiber Fire Starters

These fire starters are made from recycled waste wood. They ignite quickly and cleanly, without needing paper, kindling or other kinds of help. They're clean and relatively safe to handle, leaving no residues or odors, making them a great choice for charcoal grills, smokers and indoor stoves and fireplaces. Ace also stocks wood fiber fire starters made from fully sustainable sources.

Sawdust Fire Starter Logs

Firestarter logs are made from recycled hardwood sawdust, ground nut shells and other natural materials, blended with wax to make logs that catch easily and burn cleanly. Depending on the brand, sawdust fire starter can be split into smaller sizes, and then spread around a campfire or fireplace for evenly spread ignition.

Fatwood Sticks

Fatwood fire starter sticks rely on the natural combustibility of resin-rich hardwoods like pine. After being shaped and dried from raw materials, fatwood sticks spark easily into flame making them an excellent choice for campfires, indoor fireplaces and wood stoves. Available in large packs, they’re a reliable option for keeping your fireplace burning when you need it most. Find long fireplace matches to make lighting your materials safer and easier.

Wax Fire Starters

Wax fire starters are one of the most traditional and straightforward kinds of fire starters available. They spark into a strong flame easily and burn steadily to ensure your fireplace, BBQ grill, wood stove or campfire lights on the first try. Look for options made from wholly organic wax materials.
