What are color-changing fireplace pinecones?
Natural pinecones are treated with flame colorants that turn bright with heat. Fireplace pinecones add a cozy rainbow of color to regular flames. Each cone burns different hues for about 10 minutes (give or take a few minutes). Throw in a bunch at once for big results or toss a few in at a time to extend the colorful show.
The cones also make fun holiday gifts for campers and friends who love to host. These are some of our favorite outdoor Christmas decorations.
How to Use Color-Changing Fireplace Pinecones
Using color-chaning fireplace pinecones is as simple as adding them like kindling to a wood-burning fire. You can use the pinecones indoors and outdoors, on any wood-burning fire. Each pinecone burns for about 10 or 15 minutes, and colors range from blue and green to blue and pink. Add them to an indoor fireplace and gather the family around the hearth or toss them into a fire pit and watch the bright flames burn against winter’s night sky. Don’t forget to check out these expert tips on indoor fireplace safety.
For fireplace safety, these color-changing pinecones should not be used with gas or propane fires. Don’t cook over flames after using them.
