Safety Information

WARNING:

• Always use kindling in a well-ventilated area.
• Keep kindling away from children and pets.
• Never use flammable liquids to start a fire.
• Ensure fire is completely extinguished before leaving unattended.
• Store kindling in a dry place, away from heat sources and open flames.
• California Proposition 65 Warning: Burning wood produces chemicals known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm. For more information, visit www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.

Setup

No complex setup is required for EcoForest Kindling. Simply remove the kindling from its packaging. Ensure you have a safe and appropriate fire-starting location, such as a fireplace, wood stove, or designated outdoor fire pit.

Operating Instructions

Follow these steps to effectively use EcoForest Kindling to start a fire:

1. Prepare the Firebox: Ensure your fireplace or wood stove is clean and free of excessive ash.
2. Arrange Kindling: Place a small amount of EcoForest Kindling (3-5 pieces) in a crisscross or teepee formation at the base of where you intend to build your fire. This allows for good airflow.
3. Add Tinder: Place a small amount of tinder (e.g., paper, cotton balls, natural fire starters) among the kindling.
4. Ignite: Carefully light the tinder with a match or lighter. The kiln-dried Alder wood is designed to ignite quickly, often with a single match.
5. Build the Fire: Once the kindling is burning steadily, gradually add smaller pieces of firewood, then larger logs, ensuring not to smother the flames. Maintain good airflow.

For outdoor fire pits, follow similar principles, ensuring the fire pit is on a non-combustible surface and away from flammable materials.

Storage and Maintenance

To maintain the quality and effectiveness of your EcoForest Kindling:

• Store kindling in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
• Keep it elevated off the ground to prevent moisture absorption.
• Ensure the storage area is well-ventilated.

Proper storage helps preserve the kiln-dried state of the wood, ensuring easy ignition when needed.

Troubleshooting

Problem: Kindling does not ignite easily.

Possible Causes & Solutions:

• Insufficient Tinder: Ensure you are using enough dry tinder (e.g., paper, dryer lint, commercial fire starter) directly in contact with the kindling.
• Poor Airflow: Re-arrange the kindling and tinder to allow for better air circulation. A teepee or crisscross structure is ideal.
• Moisture: If the kindling has been exposed to moisture, it may be harder to light. Ensure proper storage in a dry environment.
• Cold Environment: In very cold conditions, it might take slightly longer for the kindling to catch. Ensure adequate tinder and airflow.
