Fire Starting

Whether camping, on a hiking trip in the mountains, or on a survival adventure: Those who enjoy spending their free time outdoors in nature appreciate an evening campfire. A fire not only provides light, warmth, and enough energy to prepare a meal. The crackling wood and the blazing flames also create an extremely cozy atmosphere.

But before you can warm yourself by a fire or cook your food, the flames must first be ignited. In the online shop of Meister Messer, you will find the suitable equipment for starting a fire. We offer lighters and matches designed for outdoor use, as well as fire steels, tinder, and fire starters. Below, we will introduce our extensive range to you in more detail.

Storm lighters: A reliable source of fire in any weather

A lighter fits into any pocket and proves to be useful in a variety of situations. However, since ordinary lighters quickly reach their limits in windy and rainy conditions, storm lighters are typically used in outdoor settings, functioning reliably in any weather. Outdoor versions are usually refillable and comparatively robust, thus having a long lifespan.

In the online shop of Meister Messer, you will find powerful storm lighters as well as mini gas burners, whose flame reaches a temperature of 1.300 degrees Celsius. Due to the hot flame, it is easier to ignite liquid fuels in bad weather conditions.

Firesteel: The ultimate companion for all survival adventurers

With a fire steel, sparks can be easily generated even in bad weather conditions. To do this, simply drag the scraper or the back of a knife over the fire starter. If the sparks land on tinder, it ignites. A fire steel typically weighs just 50 to 100 grams.

The fire steels offered on Meister Messer are designed for up to 20.000 ignitions, depending on the model. However, we also carry compact mini fire steels that generate sparks just as reliably. Some versions even have additional functions and can also be used as screwdrivers or bottle openers.

Outdoor matches: A guarantee for fire even in bad weather

Unlike ordinary matches, the so-called storm matches defy wind and moisture. This is mainly due to the ignition head, which extends over two-thirds of the match on one hand and contains more gas-producing fuels and some tetraphosphorus trisulfide on the other. In addition, the match head is usually coated with a layer of wax here, which protects the wood from moisture.

At Meister Messer, you can get storm matches with a burning time of up to 25 seconds. Sometimes, the delivery also includes a waterproof box for storing the matches. Our range also includes match sets equipped with a lighting aid.

Tinder & Fire Starters: The Optimal Fire Igniters

As tinder, a wide variety of materials can be used, such as birch bark, crushed dry leaves, as well as the flying seeds of thistle and dandelion. However, especially for less experienced outdoor enthusiasts, it is recommended to bring tinder material. This way, you don't have to search for the right material when you want to make an outdoor fire.

In addition to tinder, we also offer firelighters made from renewable raw materials, which are not only suitable for starting a fire, but also for lighting a grill. However, in the Meister Messer online shop, you can also purchase versions equipped with a igniter head that can be ignited without a lighter and co.
