Hotmax fuel logs are very easy to light without the use of firelighters or kindling. We recommend that you start your fire with a few of the thinnest disks of Hotmax in your bag. You can create thin disks by breaking or chopping slices off a bigger log.

Arrange two or three thin disks in a ‘tent’ over a couple of screws of dry paper and light the paper. You could use strips of paper from the bag. The paper is 100% natural and safe, and the ink is water-based and completely non-toxic. Then just add more logs steadily to build your fire.

Don’t forget that Hotmax fuel logs generate very high levels of heat very quickly, so in a woodburner or open fire indoors start with just a few logs until you’re familiar with its performance.
