The Fire Starter is a revolutionary way to light your fire without kindling or newspaper. We thought we would help with wrapping your head around the concept by sharing this blog with you.

The porous ceramic stone absorbs lamp the oil in the vessel. Once lit, it produces a generous flame for 15-20 minutes, allowing large logs to catch fire. Dry firewood is still necessary in order for this fireplace tool to work.

The Fire Starter also adds a complimentary aesthetic to your fireplace.

STEP 1. 

Fill the pot with enough fuel to cover the firestone. 

STEP 2.

Soak your fire stone in the lamp oil for at least 20 minutes, you will eventually figure out the right amount  of time that works with your firewood, which may be shorter.

Note - you can put the stone back into the pot once it has cooled down from the night before to leave it soaking for longer.

STEP 3.

Use the hook to remove the soaked Fire Lighter stone from the pot and place into the fireplace. Lightly roll the firestone in the ashes to make it easier to light. Light the firestone. Please note the firestone produces a large flame, ensure it is safely in the fireplace before lighting.

STEP 4.

Place seasoned firewood on top of the firestone. No kindling is needed. The firestone will burn for 15 - 20 minutes. Please note that your firewood must be dry for this process to work.

Here's a very quick step-by-step image sequence of how it works.
