How do your light yours?
Hot Box ® Firestarter is the most convenient way to light any fire. Our patented design eliminates the need for firelighters, kindling and frustration. Simply light with a match or lighter and let it burn before adding logs or other fuel.
Hot Box ® Firestarter is new, innovative and revolutionary
Having installed wood-burning appliances for over a decade, a common problem prevails, lighting the perfect fire! Often, this meant that we were called upon to provide a demonstration, sometimes more than once. We got thinking…. how could we solve this problem?
With a tried and tested method the Hot Box Firestarter performs each and every time. No failed fires with our patented design, the perfect base for every fire.
Base
By using Hot Box ® Firestarter you will form the perfect base for building your fire. Further, you will create less smoke and harmful emissions, cleaner is better right?
Strength
Our unique structure is assembled without glue, pins or fixings of any sort. However, don’t be afraid to stack a few logs against it for the ultimate in firelighting convenience.
Natural
By sourcing our components responsibly from waste streams and using only recycled packaging, Hot Box ® Firestarter is 100% natural. No chemicals = less emissions.
Natural Firelighter Benefits
Immediate Heat
With a natural fire lighter your wood burning stove will immediately produce heat whilst the base of the fire is built ready for your extra fuel to ignite. Meaning you can light it and leave it, without the need to tend to the fire to keep it going.
No Chemicals
Traditionally fire lighters are doused in chemicals including kerosene which can cause hazardous gases and unfriendly smells. With the Hot Box Firestarter its 100% natural made from kiln dried kindling and wood wool shavings compressed into briquettes.
Economic Sizing
Furthermore, the unique dimensions ensure they can be stored and transported easily making sure they don't take up any unnecessary space. No more kindling, paper or fire lighters required. Just the simple Hot Box Firestarter.

Troubleshooting
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…
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,
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.
