Fatwood tinder bundle

These fatwood sticks are 100% natural kindling for the campfire, barbecue, fire basket, fireplace and patio stove and give off a wonderful scent while burning.

Combined with a Firesteel, fatwood has become an indispensable attribute among outdoor enthusiasts. Scrape some of the fatwood and the scrapings are very easy to light with a firesteel. You can also hold a flame against the fatwood and it burns.

Fatwood burns fast, long and hot. A perfect base to light the big fire with. Fatwood also burns well in wet conditions because it is mainly the resin that burns and not the wood.

These fatwood sticks are extracted from the Ocote conifer (Pinus oocarpa) from Honduras. After being blown over or after a natural forest fire, the root system of this tree continues to produce sap for some time. The tree stump thus becomes up to 80% saturated with resin.

The wood from these stumps becomes highly flammable in this way. The Mayas knew this thousands of years ago and used this wood to light their fires.

Fatwood is made in an environmentally friendly way.
100% sustainable forestry.
