Built for every camper, hiker, and backyard host

We believe that starting a fire should not require advanced bushcraft skills or struggle in the woods. From magnesium triangles and jute cups to waterproof matches wrapped in jute, each product is made to light quickly and burn reliably in all weather conditions.

Simple fire building for anyone

Carlos created El Diablo's in Windsor, Connecticut, to eliminate the frustration of lighting wet wood or struggling with poor spark catchers. Our beginner-friendly fire plugs, fire cocoons, and jute cups give you dependable heat in minutes, whether you are cooking dinner at a trail campsite or gathering friends around the backyard pit.
