As with most consumable items for fireplaces, there is a plethora of choice.

However it is important to understand the benefits.

Everyone hs a method, they use it meticulously. Importantly, there is no right or wrong answer.

Methods such as the formation of a teepee structure are popular, stacking small pieces of kindling on top of a firelighter.

However, this method requires arrangement and thought.

Other methods may rely on firelighters and kindling being stacked on top of larger fuel elements such as logs.

Again, such methods require tough and time to arrange the components.

With most firelighters, you will to consider building your fire in a specific way to ensure the ignition process is effective.

The key to a successful fire is to generate significant heat as quickly as possible.
