A few fuels stand out when it comes to Emergency Preparedness. Wood Pellets, Charcoal Briquettes (both can be purchased off season and have an indefinite shelf life) Another is our Easy Light Firestarters, they are made of cedar shavings and paraffin wax (Other brands use sawdust which can go rancid quite quickly) Cedar has antimicrobial properties that keep our fire starters fresh indefinitely. Paraffin wax is very powerful yet extremely stable, safe to store alongside your food provisions. Firebox Easylight Firestarters can be used to start other fuels like Wood Pellets, Charcoal Briquettes and Twigs/Sticks/scrap lumber. When needed, they can also be used as a stand alone fuel for those not confident with building a traditional fire. I plan to do an emergency preparedness fuel comparison/instructional video soon!
