How does the fire starter actually work?
The firestarter and its porous stone soaks up the oil so that when lit, it the fire stone burns long and slow giving enough time for your logs to catch and the fire to get well underway. You can see the step-by-step process on the blog here.
What oil can I use?
Lamp oil, Kerosene and Citronella oils are the only fuels you should ever use with your Fire Lighter. DO NOT use any other fuel sources.
Where can I get extra oil from?
We sell the highest quality, odorless lamp oil that we can get our hands on in New Zealand, which you can add to checkout on this product page for 2L included with your Fire Starter, or purchase separately on the product page. Please note we are unable to send Lamp Oil outside of New Zealand due to it being a flammable liquid - we apologize for this, however, your local hardware/DIY stores will stock this. Selecting 'Yes please' will include 2L of lamp oil with your Fire Starter.
You'll also find the fire lighter oil in most hardware stores, look for 'odorless lamp oil' in the flammable section. It comes in 1-4ltr bottles usually. Citronella and kerosene also works. DO NOT use any other fuel sources.
Do I keep the fire starter stone in the fire, or remove it once lit?
Once lit, we recommend removing the stone and placing it to the side of the fire before going back into the pot. It is ok to leave the stone in the oil for long periods as long as it's not still hot.
