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 fire lighter will start to produce flames and the heat produced is greater than any other natural fire lighter currently available.
For safety we don’t recommend touching the fire lighter once lit it will be hot, only approach if you are confident that it has extinguished.
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.
