Offcuts are used either when starting the fire or if the fire has died down a little too much for a log to catch on its own.
Offcuts are a recycled product.
They are a cheaper way to get your fire going again compared to kindling and are sold in barrow bags. Offcuts are randomly sized.
We buy our kindling from specialist manufacturers depending on availability.
Our Kindling comes in net bags weighing approx. 4kg.
Kindling used with offcuts is the best way to get logs lit. Kindling plays an important part when lighting your fire or log-burner in heating the chimney quickly to achieve improved airflow through the flue, improving combustion in the process.
About 12 bits of kindling and a few bits of offcut should get your fire lit, using newspaper or a single firelighter underneath.
