Our lavender straw fire starters are made from the dried stems of our lavender after the buds are removed. The bundles are packaged in groups of three and can be used one at a time for a great smelling way to get your fireplace or fire pit going. Just open up the bundle spread out the stems and lite. Then add additional sticks, firewood, etc. to keep the fire going. The stems retain enough oil during the drying process that they still smell fabulous when burned or used as fireside home decor.
