What is Fatwood? Fatwood fire starters are pine wood sticks impregnated with natural flammable sap. Stumps and burned trees become impregnated with sap as natural protection for the three’s survival. Specifically, these fatwood sticks come from resin-rich sections of pinus cembroides trees, we take the impregnated sections and cut them into fatwood sticks, this firestarer is a trendy environmental way to start fires. A single match can light it and it also light when wet. Unfumigated fatwood contains no petrochemical additives no methyl bromide, it’s a 100/% pure natural and sustainable firestarter.

The Cembroides Pine Fatwood grows at altitudes of 4,000 – 6,000 feet in the Sierra Madre Occidental in Chihuahua. (See map on ABOUT page). Fatwood comes from resin impregnated sections of the leftover pine stumps from the forestry industry as well as damaged trees (from storms and fires).
