We've got everything you need to get the campfire or cooking fire going, from matches and lighters to fire starter cubes and much more.
What are the different types of campfire starters?
There are two different elements in lighting fires that are referred to as fire starters. The first is a good source of ignition such as a lighter, waterproof matches, or flint and steel striker. The second part is a quick-burning fuel such as a fire starter cube.
What should I look for in a good campfire starter?
For your ignition, you'll want something that's waterproof and durable so you can count on it in all weather conditions. Fire starter cubes are usually made of the same materials such as wood chips and wax, so just look for a size that works or a package that's big enough. If you'll use them to light a cooking fire, make sure you use non-toxic fire starter cubes.
How do you use camping fire starters?
Lighters and matches are simple to use, while a flint and steel can require a bit of practice to reliably get good sparks. Fire starter cubes are easy to use and will catch on fire quickly and intensely, so you can quickly build a solid fire around them.
