Troubleshooting
What's it made from?
Our natural firefighter is made from waste materials.
The outer is made from recycled card, the components inside are made from waste timber sections, our firelighters are made from sawdust that has been re purposed.
We do not use, chemicals, glue, pins or other nasty things anywhere ever.
Even our outer packaging is made from recycled card and the tape used to seal the box is paper.
We don’t really believe in using plastic if we can avoid it.
Where do I light it?
Press out the hole on the top of the box to form the chimney, press out one or both the the perforated holes at the base. Light via the holes at the base with a match or lighter, watch it burn, our handy pic and the video below should help you get going.
Do I also need kindling?
No kindling is needed when using Hot Box ® Firestarter. Our product replaces the need for both firelighters and kindling and provides a clean, convenient and quick solution to lighting a fire in a range of appliances. Just add 🪵
In the alternative, Hot Box ® Firestarter is perfect for using on top of the fuel, the ‘top down method, is a great way to light your fire. Want to see how?
Do I need separate firelighters?
You do not need to bother with firelighters or kindling. our product replaces both and allows a user to simply have one product in their home plus some logs to add after Firestarter has got going.
Alternatively, stack some logs near our natural firelighter and the temperature in your stove will increase to easily ignite the fuel.
Want to see how?
It’s smoking!
There is no smoke without fire! Once your Hot Box ® Firestarter is alight, some smoke will be produced, this should subside in under 1 minute, if using in a stove please ensure air vents are open during initial combustion phases,
Once the components inside the box start to burn, the flue of your appliance will get warm. Thereafter, the smoke produced will move up the chimney.
Within only a few minutes, our patented firelighter will start to produce flames and the heat produced is greater than any other natural firelighter currently available.
Can I pick it up once lit?
For safety we don’t recommend touching the firestarter once lit it will be hot, only approach if you are confident that it has extinguished.
I left it over 10 minutes and nothing?
If you have had it lit for 10 or more minutes and the Firestarter does not show signs of flames or burning then it may of not been lit correctly. Use a match or lighter at the base and allow more air. In stoves, leave the appliance door ajar.
I can’t see any flames?
As the components inside start to burn the flames will intensify. Eventually, the flames will start to come from the chimney before the outer box burns away.
I added fuel and now it’s gone out?
Ensure you have allowed time for the firestarter to provide a bed of embers, Then, build your fuel up slowly so as not to extinguish the fire. Ensure you have used dry logs, start small and build.
Alternatively, place our firelighter on top of your fuel using “the top down method”
This method ensures the flue gets warm quickly and draw is created.
Further, the air inlets in our fire-lighter will then be unrestricted and the combustion process will be aided.
Can I use Hot Box ® Firestarter in my Pizza Oven?
