Sustainable | Natural | Simple
Across the wood burning stove industry the emphasis on fuel and environment is in constant focus. With companies like Woodsure and the SIA working hard to curb emissions, we thought we would try and help and created Hot Box Firestarter. By creating more heat, more quickly than any other firelighter, our product will help reduce emissions created during the initial combustion phases.
Firelighters without the need for kindling
Hot Box ® Firestarter is the easiest way to start any fire. We have taken the basic principals of fire building and packaged it into a handy cube.
There is no need for kindling when using our unique, natural firelighter.
Simply open the air vent at the base of the box and pop out the chimney hole, light and forget.
For decades, we have all needed kindling and firelighters of varying types to light our home fires.
However, Hot Box now provide a solution which encompasses heat, oxygen and fuel in a handy cube.
As we develop our business model and our product evolves, we how to become the go to firelighter for numerous households across the world.
Our natural fire-lighter has been curated with care. We have avoided the use of chemical products, pins, glue etc and even use paper tape too close our boxes.
Further, our firelighters are suitable for a range of appliances from woodburning stoves to wood fired pizza ovens, BBQ’s and pretty much any application where you would previously have had to use firelighters and kindling.
Taking the next step
Something as simple as lighting a fire can be quite a task for many. Having installed thousands of wood burning stoves it’s the most common stumbling block ‘ how do we light it?’
With this at the forefront of our mind and the environmental impact of chemical firelighters, wasted kindling, paper and time, the Hot Box ® Firestarter was created.
Our Vision
By eliminating the stages needed to create the perfect fire and bundling them into a single process, combustible with ‘one click’ of a lighter or ‘one strike’ of a match we offer convenience. The Hot Box ® Firestarter was designed to allow any user to quickly and easily light a fire with only one component part with a view to adding further fuel thereafter. By using a perfectly formed stack of kindling and a simple firelighter we devised a method that worked flawlessly each and every time and packaged it.
