A few years ago, while on a camping trip with my family we visited the camp store looking for something to help us start our campfire. The only thing we found was a small Dixie cup filled with wax and a wick sticking out the top. I couldn’t help but think how unattractive and primitive this fire starter was. As I continued to think about it, I thought about how I could make a fire starter that was more attractive, simple to use, long lasting and easily storable. I talked with other campers and found that most everyone thought as I did….there had to be something better! That created the spark that eventually became The Maine Flame.

Over the next couple of years we looked at several ways to make fire starters and researched many different shapes, sizes, and displays. Through a careful and thorough process we created what we and many others believe is the best fire starter on the market today! It not only works perfectly for starting any type of fire but it makes a wonderful gift, looks great in a basket by the hearth and even makes a great stocking or backpack stuffer for camping, hiking, ice fishing, or hunting enthusiasts.

Maine Flame Fire Starters are made in Maine with high quality wood from a sustainable forest and specially formulated candle wax. The sawdust is kiln dried; allowing it to burn evenly and fast….it takes about 10 seconds to start a fire and will burn for up to 20 minutes, more than enough time to start any fire even under extreme conditions. That’s it, no paper or kindling is needed when using a Maine Flame Fire Starter.

I look forward to your comments and will be happy to answer any questions that you may have.

Thanks.
