What is Fatwood

Fatwood, also known as pine pitch wood or lighter wood, is the resin-saturated heartwood from pine trees. When pine trees are stressed or damaged, they produce extra resin that concentrates in the heartwood. This natural resin acts as a highly flammable fire starter that ignites easily and burns with a hot, sustained flame.

The high resin content makes fatwood superior to paper, cardboard, or chemical fire starters. It lights reliably in wet conditions and produces minimal smoke while burning cleanly.

Why Choose Natural Fatwood

Chemical-Free: Contains no artificial chemicals, petroleum products, or toxic additives - safe for cooking fires and indoor use.

Weather Resistant: The natural resin content allows fatwood to light even when damp or wet, making it ideal for UK weather conditions.

Long Burning: Burns longer and hotter than paper or cardboard, providing sustained heat to ignite larger kindling and logs.

Environmentally Friendly: Harvested from natural pine waste, fatwood is a sustainable and biodegradable fire starting solution.

Storage and Usage
