Crafted by Carlos in Windsor, Connecticut, El Diablo's Fire Starter kits make wilderness survival and casual camping completely hassle-free. Waterproof, dependable, and built to light in inclement weather—even for absolute beginners.
Featured starter gear
Choose from our reliable lineup of homemade fire starters. Whether you are striking a ferro rod or clicking a lighter, each product is crafted to catch sparks immediately and keep your campfire roaring.
Fire plugs
Compact, waterproof, and extremely dependable. Simply break open the plug to expose the inner fibers, spark with your ferro rod or lighter, and enjoy a long, hot burn.
Fire biscuits
A customer favorite designed for stubborn wood and wet conditions. Fluff the fibers apart and ignite in seconds to sustain a steady flame in harsh weather.
Dry tinder bag
Keep your camp safe from dampness. Our sealed dry tinder bags ensure you always have dry, highly combustible material ready in your backpack wherever you hike.
Built to conquer the elements
Carlos designed every El Diablo kit so you never have to struggle in the cold or rain. No lighter fluid smells, no damp kindling failures—just easy, reliable heat when you need it most.
Unlike commercial fire logs or volatile fluids, our homemade kits utilize durable, weather-resistant materials that stand up to rain and snow. All you need to do is break them up to reveal the dense inner fibers, strike with a ferro rod or lighter, and your fire will catch immediately.
Simple enough for anyone
You do not need years of bushcraft experience to start a reliable campfire. Carlos carefully assembled these sets so that even a first-time camper can get a blaze going without frustration. Pick up a kit today and hit the trail with complete peace of mind.
