Consciously enjoy with Vuurbak

Firebox - Creative outdoor cooking. Enjoy consciously!

Vuurbak is aware that lighting fires is harmful to the environment.

Therefore, consciously enjoy your Firebox so that the next generation can continue to enjoy your Firebox and all the stories and memories that have arisen around your Firebox.

We are committed to an “environmentally friendly” production and use of Firebox.

We are keen on the production process and we keep a close eye on the market. Always looking for alternative biofuels and a better way to continue enjoying fire and warmth.

For Vuurbak it was an important step to make Vuurbak suitable for briquettes, pellet pellets and other alternative bio fuels for wood ( see our Firebox add-ons ).

Consciously lighting a fire is an essential step in burning a wood fire in an environmentally friendly way. Firebox therefore actively stimulates the lighting of fire and other heat sources according to the Swiss method with the Finnish ecological lighting bulbs from Syttis as a "fire starter". The balls contain no harmful petrochemicals and are 100% biodegradable in nature. The Syttis lighting bulbs from Finland can easily light any fire made of wood, coal or briquettes. The spheres are made from paraffin and residual wood chips from Finnish forestry. With one ecological lighting bulb, easy to light thanks to the waxed wick, every fire ignites without soot or smoke. Therefore, stop using a fire starter or burning gel and switch to Syttis now, responsible lighting a fire made easy! If you place a block of wood in your firebox and light it according to the Swiss method, CO2 is released, but the tree next to the firebox has recently removed CO2 from the air. The CO2 that is released serves as food for future trees, which in turn serve as biofuel for the stove. A short CO2 cycle that is less harmful to the environment.

Paying attention to local production and sales also makes doing business more enjoyable and is also friendlier to the environment and the local economy. Vuurbak produces locally and stimulates the local economy by being a member of Man Utrecht Made and the Utrecht Euro.

Utrecht Made is the maker network of Utrecht and acts as a platform for Utrecht makers and their products. Our mission is to bring local manufacturing culture to the attention of a larger audience.

Vuurbak cordially invites local entrepreneurs to think along with Vuurbak to devise and produce more and more relevant Vuurbak add-ons and sidekicks. Special accessories that boost your Firebox experience and contribute to a good “locally aware” feeling. The Utrecht Euro is a digital payment method for Utrecht companies and consumers. This money circulates for longer in our region and thus creates more turnover for local companies. Find each other for local purchases, jobs and projects. Buy, rent a Vuurbak or Vuurbak experience with your Utrecht euro so that Vuurbak will share more locally.

Vuurbak, Utrecht made and the Utrecht euro come together based on the shared passion for enjoying local sharing and production together. Involved, conscious, sustainable and with attention to socially inclusive entrepreneurship.

For Vuurbak, entrepreneurship means entering into long-term, personally involved and honest relationships.

Together, outside, (st)oral, honest, "hassle-free" and "lo-fi", consciously enjoy! All this together with the nicest people you know personally, so you enjoy it and with the most beautiful and best materials at your disposal. Firebox.
