Handmade in the US from pinecones that have fallen and dropped their seeds, each cone is dipped in wax and scented with essential oil of Clove & Balsam for a wonderful scent. Great to start a flame or as a beautifully scented option to potpourri. Just one cone is all you need to easily start a fire in your fireplace, woodstove, outdoor firepit, chiminea or even a campfire. No kindling or newspaper is necessary and the vegetable wax completely burns up with the heat of the fire. The cones are clean burning, leaves no messy residue and are free of toxic chemicals.
