Introduction: The Heart of Every Campsite

A campfire sets the stage for warmth, cooking, storytelling, and unforgettable memories. But building a perfect campfire requires the right technique—and the right camping firewood. At Artmire’s Forestry, we help campers across Texas enjoy a better burn with seasoned, easy-to-light firewood bundles.

1. Choose the Right Location

Always begin by choosing a safe and suitable location for your fire.

• Use designated fire pits when available.

• Keep fire away from tents, trees, or dry grass.

• Clear the area of debris and overhanging branches.

2. Gather All Necessary Materials

You’ll need more than just firewood to get started. Prepare:

• Tinder – small twigs, dry leaves, or fire starter.

• Kindling – sticks about the size of a pencil.

• Firewood – larger, seasoned logs from Artmire’s Forestry.

Organizing your materials beforehand ensures a smoother process.

3. Use Seasoned Firewood Only

Unseasoned or green wood is a fire hazard and burns poorly. Artmire’s Forestry firewood is:

• Pre-seasoned and low moisture.

• Easy to ignite and long burning.

• Stored properly for clean transport.

This makes it ideal for cooking, staying warm, and maintaining a safe fire throughout the night.

4. Build Your Fire Structure

The way you stack your wood impacts airflow and flame. Try these methods:

• Teepee – Great for quick starts; arrange sticks like a cone.

• Log cabin – Stack logs like a box for steady, long burn.

• Lean-to – Perfect in windy conditions using a log to block the wind.

Practice each style to see what works best for your needs.

5. Keep It Going with Smart Fueling

Once lit, keep your fire going safely:

• Add wood gradually.

• Avoid overloading the fire—smaller additions keep it stable.

• Keep a fire poker handy for adjustments.

Artmire’s Forestry wood burns steadily, so you won’t constantly need to refuel.

6. Prioritize Safety at All Times

Always follow campground and state safety guidelines:

• Keep water or a fire extinguisher nearby.

• Never leave the fire unattended.

• Completely extinguish fire before sleeping or leaving.

We care about your safety, and our firewood is part of building safe, manageable campfires.

7. Make the Most of Your Campfire Experience

Use your fire for more than just warmth:

• Roast marshmallows, hot dogs, or foil meals.

• Share stories or play music around the flames.

• Use as a light source for nighttime campsite fun.

With firewood from Artmire’s Forestry, your campfire becomes the heart of your adventure.
