Burn baby burn!

Win a bucket of Flamers with Certainly Wood & H is for Home

For this month’s competition, we have a fantastic prize that you’ll use all year round. We’ve teamed up with Certainly Wood to offer one of our readers a bucket of Flamers firelighters.

We’ve been trialling these Flamers recently and we can really sing their praises. They’re a wonderful product – renewable, untreated wood shavings dipped in refined wax. They have a long burn which makes lighting fires easy and reliable. Also, there’s none of the harsh, chemical aromas that you get from other types of firelighter.

And as if that wasn’t enough, they actually look great too. They’re attractive additions to the fireside in the same way a basket of logs gives a natural, cosy look to a room. In addition to wood burners and open fires, they’re also perfect for barbecues and pizza ovens. We’re complete converts and won’t be using anything else in the future.

  1. I’m a bit of a cheat and buy the bags you light for my BBQ but I do start fires the traditional way for my fire pit – using paper cardboard small sticks and then large logs when it’s built!

  2. usually with great difficulty by burning ourselves, we get the block fire lighters although they dont work very good

  3. screwed up paper, and sticks, light and cover fireplace with a shovel and piece of paper as a blazier

  4. Normal firelighters with locally bought kindling for us. We have a thatched roof so are very careful about what we burn.

  5. This would look so good beside my wood burner!

    I use a layer of crunched up paper then place a layer of small twigs/kindling on top and light the paper 🙂

  6. small jenga building of sticks and a couple of fire burners, as well as a couple of crossed fingers and a lot of hope

  7. We usually use old lolly sticks that we’ve kept to light our barbeque but sometimes it takes a little long. x

  8. I’ve used these in the past to get the woodburner going and they are fabulous! I usually use kindling and firelighters.

  9. We use lots of scrunched up paper and sometimes lighter fluid which I hate because it smells and it’s dangerous.

  10. We have a duel fuel stove, and use normal chemical firelighters with kindling to get it going – they do smell awful though when you open the door to add a log once the kindling’s burning!

  11. We use the yellow pages and very dry kindling from the Ash tree in our garden but get a bit stuck if we run out and have to use the horrible chemical fire lighters sometimes. Would love to swap now I’ve found flamers.

  12. We have a log burner and i often struggle if i don’t use regular firelighter. Liking the sound of these though x

  13. We have 3 fires in our house and on winter weekends I like to light all 3. Normally I use knotted pieces of newspaper, a little kindling and a couple of traditional firelighters. It’s a bit time consuming and smelly on the hands though!

  14. make layers, first put balled up newspaper on the bottom, then thin kindling sticks, then any coal left from previous day’s burn picked out from the ashes, then a small amount of coal on the top of that & light with along BBQ lighter I only adding more coal slowly once I’m sure it’s bedded in. Sometimes it’s still in from the night before though so just have to add coal and carefully clean out underneath

  15. I usually make my own paper logs… these look soo much nicer ( and easier on my arthritic wrists!)

  16. I light my log burner with kindling and news paper most of the time except when i’m in a hurry as I’ll use fire lighters and kindling.

  17. I start our log burner by stacking the chopped sticks up, starting with thicker at the bottom, and thinner at the top. In a criss cross format and through a few fire lighters in then lit with a match!

  18. With firelighters or the bags you light for the barbecue, my husband has no patience so I light the fire in our house.

  19. To get our fire started we scrunch up paper, add two lots of kindling and a couple of firelighters. Once going add logs! 🙂

  20. I use screwed-up newspaper covered with layers of sticks. I put a light to that then add the logs when it takes hold.

  21. We have a log burner and used to use the block firelighters but found that natural firelighters like these were far better at getting the fire going

  22. I use the firelighters with one piece of newspaper to light my log burner. If the wood is well seasoned it goes well if not, no amount of anything will get it going.
