1. Easy To Light

Choose this firewood for its accessibility. Birch is the gateway to the wood-burning world, as it catches fire more quickly than denser firewood types. Birch also has very thin, paper-like bark that acts as kindling, assisting in the fire lighting process.

2. Stoke the Fire Without Fail

Overloading or using a denser firewood without firelighters often leads to all smoke and no fire. Birch, which is great for beginners, is less likely to smoulder, and makes for a versatile wood that will help to gradually build on the fire you’ve started.

3. Norwegian Tradition

Honour a wood burning habit that harks back to Scandinavian tradition. Silver Birch trees grow in abundance alongside Pine and Spruce in the colder climates of Norway and Sweden. This is also where the Birch Swedish Candle originated, during the thirty years' war to create a long burning campfire for the soldiers.
