Welcome!
Start a warm inviting crackling fire with a fire buddy or pinecone. Fire buddies are designed to burn about 10 minutes. They are great by themselves or with added wood allowing for up to an hour of burning.
Most amateur fire builders love to sit beside a crackling fire but have no way to start a nice fire. Some try newspaper, wood chips, or fuel (very dangerous) with little or no results while creating a hazard for themselves and the environment. Cracklingfires.com was created to solve the problems of the amateur or professional fire builder. No longer does it take hours to get the fire started nor does the smoke from the fire cause friends and family to run away. Cracklingfires.com products give time to relax and enjoy a campfire, wood stove, chimney, or fire pit in just minutes for the entire family and friends.
Fire buddies are made from 100% recycled wood dust and a small amount of paraffin wax for a quick and easy start. The pinecones are all natural from North Carolina forest helping to keep the forest clear of hazards. Each box or bag of wood is scrap material from a local manufacturing company. The wood and pinecones have no added by-products to clog the environment but they give a nice inviting and warm crackling fire for one person or many to enjoy.

Buddies
In today’s busy, hectic and crazy lifestyle we all need a little time away from the television, phone and computer. Fire buddies were created to help us gather around the fire, whether it is the backyard fire pit or at the weekend campground. No one wants to wait for the fire and fun to begin. Buddies make the fun happen now. Just place one buddy in the pit and light. Add wood from the box or bag and let the magic begin. The results are amazing creating instant family fun. The buddy completely burns with no residue or hash chemicals.
Pinecones
100 % all natural pinecones are from the mountains of Western North Carolina. By cleaning the forest floor of excess pinecones the fire dangers and hazards are decreased. When using a pine cone as a fire starter the ignition time is increased but the end result is the same, a nice warm crackling fire. Place several pinecones in the middle of the fire pit and light for an all-natural crackling fire.
Wood Box
The wood in the box is scrap material from a North Carolina manufacturing company. It is a dry wood with no chemicals or preservatives added. The pieces are different sizes giving the fire more burning power. The size of the box is 12 inches wide by 18 inches long and 8 inches deep weighing approximately 15 lbs. Each box will burn about 1 hour depending upon the volume of added wood. For best results add small amounts at a time. But don’t be afraid to create a roaring fire.
Wood Bag
The wood bag is a way for a North Carolina manufacturing company to recycle its scrap product and provide a warm crackling fire.
