Woven from stands of pure European birch, Black Diamond Starters are coated in paraffin to provide an all-weather natural fire starter. Their irregular surface makes them easy to light and does not leave any residue on the grill or unwanted chemicals on your food. Black Diamond Starters can also be used to light fireplaces and campfires, regardless of if they are exposed to extreme weather, making them the starter of choice in a wide range of applications.
