THE HOTTEST THING SINCE FIRE

Fire Nuggs are nature’s hottest, newest, purest firestarter. Handcrafted in Lake Tahoe, USA by campers for campers, we transformed pine cones into Earth’s first all-natural, fully sustainable, eco-friendly, bonfire buddies. No chemicals, no weird fumes, no artificial anything, just good old fashioned authentic, American ingredients.

GRAB YOUR NUGGS

MADE BY YOUR MOTHER

Lodgepole pine cones are literally everywhere in Lake Tahoe. We figured why waste’em? So we gathered as many as we could carry, coated them in 100% pure beeswax, and sprinkled them with sawdust from a local wood mill. The result is the most flammable lil’ nugget that nature ever created.

What are they made out of?

Fire Nuggs are handmade in Lake Tahoe from locally harvested lodgepole pine cones. Then they’re covered in a unique mixture of pure, filtered beeswax, and sawdust from neighborhood saw mills, tree services, and cabinet makers. And unicorn tears.

How did you come up with the idea?

These tiny, little pine cones are literally everywhere around the lake. So we asked ourselves, “What can we do with them? Grind them up and make bricks? Pine flavored dog toothbrushes? How about an all natural firestarter? Bingo bango bongo.

Where can I get some?

Glad you asked. Fire Nuggs are available in stores all over Lake Tahoe. Or you could come visit and make your own, but why would you want to?

Are they made with any chemicals?

Heck no. Unlike other firestarters that use calcium hypochlorite, potassium permanganate and glycerin among other yucky chemicals, Fire Nuggs are 100% all-natural, fully sustainable, eco friendly, pine cones handmade with a little mountain magic.
