Born
from the wood of old pine stumps left for waste after logging, it is made from splitting the stumps of pine trees that contain a high concentration of natural resin. As the stumpwood hardens over time, the resin or sap concentrates to create an all-natural, 100% organic, chemical-free fire starter.
Our Fatwood comes from non-rainforest areas of Central America. It’s part of our dedication to sustainable forestry. Live trees are never cut for our Fatwood and we harvest only non-endangered pine species. The stumps are split into sticks approximately 8″ in length and 3/4″ in diameter. We’ve found this size to be a convenient and ideal size for practically all applications. Whether using it in the fireplace, the backyard BBQ, a pellet stove, or even in the woods while camping, Fatwood Firestarter is the ideal choice. Yes, all Fatwood is kindling, but not all kindling will ever be Fatwood.
