How To Get The Most Out Of Your Firepit
Those warm summer evenings have arrived. Here is everything you need to know how to light your outdoor burner quickly, safely and keep it clean! Here are our Top Tips on how to choose your firewood and firestarters , lighting your fire, and keeping safe.

Why You Should Burn Kiln Dried Firewood Logs
Ecoblaze Premium Hardwood is user-friendly allrounder which produces a fierce and intense flame , making it a very versatile and popular choice. With a slow and steady burn, Ecoblaze Oak Firewood provides more heat with an unmatched burn duration . Alternatively, Ecoblaze Hardwood Briquettes , sometimes known as heat logs have an even balance of heat output and burn duration .
Stay away from damp wood! Its smoke produces and releases more pollutants and is bad for the environment. Always use Ready to Burn firewood with a moisture content at 20% or lower for the best output in heat, burn time and smoke reduction; or alternatively our Hardwood Briquettes with less than 5% moisture content, are even better!

What Is The Best Way To Light A Firepit?
Stop! For the best and safest experience, use the original Ecoblaze Natural Firelighters as they are a clean, 100% natural fire lighter, made only of two, natural ingredients: wood wool and wax. This will produce a long, odourless, smokeless clean burn that won’t release harmful smoke or any nasty acrid smells.
How To Light Your Firepit Quickly And Easily
With your firepit sat on a level, non-flammable surface, away from any shed or garden plants, add your Ecoblaze Kindling in a pyramid shape to allow for air good flow, ensuring that you have placed one or two Ecoblaze Natural Wood Firelighters, inside. Safely set them alight with a long-stemmed match and allow to begin burning.
Once the flame has grown large enough from the kindling, add your chosen Ecoblaze firewood or briquettes. This helps to prevent smouldering and reduce any excessive smoke.
Enjoy the warm, crackling, and cosy feel of your fire pit and add extra firewood when required.

Health & Safety Tips For You
Choose Ready to Burn firewood for the safest fuel. This ensures that all your firewood is as dry as possible.
Only use approved items for fire lighting – Ecoblaze Natural Firelighters have zero harmful chemicals and never will.
You can order from a range of Firewood, Firelighters and Charcoal Briquettes at Ecoblaze.co.uk to help you get the most out of your firepit.
Top 5 Ways To Make Your Firepit Magical
Here are the top 5 steps you can take to make your fire pit last longer lasting and give the best output:
1. Use fully seasoned or Kiln-dried firewood or briquettes – you want wood that has as little moisture as possible, to reduce smoke, pollution and have a better and longer burn.
2. Keep your fire pit clean and dry – don’t burn old debris, help to protect your fire pit from the elements and rust, so that it will last you for many years.
3. Light your fire from the centre – heat rises, so you want to light from the centre, to bottom of your kindling pile for the best flames.
4. Use Ecoblaze Natural Firelighters – avoid flammable liquids and chemically enhanced fire starters. Not only for your own safety, but for a cleaner, more natural burn that won’t cause pollution or that nasty chemical smell.
5. Make sure that there is plenty of air flow for your fire for the best burn time.
