HISTORY
Light My Fire
The story of Light My Fire starts when the Swede Michael Odqvist loses a bet against his neighbour in 1995 about who has the most efficient way to light the BBQ. The illustrious neighbour's secret weapon? Pieces of wood, brought back from a trip to Guatemala, which are naturally very resinous and therefore burn very quickly and well. Michael immediately sees its potential because it works fantastically well and it is pretty straightforward at the same time. Barbecues, fireplaces, stoves, campfires, ... No hassle with newspaper, no chemical firelighters, no dangerous fire accelerators. Light My Fire was born and after an uphill start the ball really started to roll when, in addition to the famous TinderSticks™ (then MayaSticks™ .), The now world-renowned Swedish FireSteel® was introduced. With both these products you could always get your fire going, even in the most difficult circumstances. In 2005 Light My Fire scored a lucky strike with the Spork. It was not available separately when it was first released but was part of the 6-piece MealKit™ that year.

MORE ABOUT
Light My Fire
The production of Light My Fire products takes place entirely in Sweden. By organising its production there, Light My Fire chooses a production environment subject to applicable European regulations and standards, including those relating to working conditions and product safety. Since 2019, bio-based plastics have been used throughout the entire range. In this way, Light My Fire replaces part of the fossil-based raw materials traditionally used in the production of plastics. The packaging has also been reconsidered. As part of this process, Light My Fire has reduced the use of plastic and unnecessary intermediate packaging.
