Product Manual


Introduction

Thank you for choosing the Stove Fan Company Eco-Friendly Firelighter Kit. This manual will guide you through the process of creating your own firelighters, with step-by-step instructions. The kit allows you to produce up to 100 firelighters, perfect for your eco-conscious fire-starting needs.


Kit Contents

Your kit includes the following components:

  • Wax
  • Lower mould section
  • Upper mould section
  • Wax cups (20 pieces)
  • Wood shavings

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Mould
  1. Place the upper mould section on top of the lower mould section.
  2. Insert 20 wax cups into the mould.
Step 2: Measure the Ingredients
  1. Measure 120g of wax and set it aside in a container.
  2. Weigh 50g of wood shavings and store them separately.
Step 3: Create the Mixture
  1. Place a pan on your stove and set the heat to the lowest setting.
  2. Pour enough wax into the pan to cover its surface. Melt the wax slowly, periodically removing the pan from heat to avoid overheating.
  3. Gradually add more wax until all of it is melted.
  4. Sprinkle a layer of wood shavings over the melted wax and gently stir to ensure even coating.
  5. Repeat until all wood shavings are incorporated, then turn off the stove.
Step 4: Fill the Wax Cups
  1. Lay a sheet of cardboard or newspaper under the moul to catch any spills.
  2. Pour the wax-wood mixture into the centre of the mould.
  3. Spread the mixture evenly using a straight edge, ensuring each cup is filled uniformly.
  4. Press down on the mixture with a dowel to compact it.
Step 5: Remove Firelighters from the Mould
  1. Lift off the upper mould section with the wax cups still inside.
  2. Carefully remove each wax cup from the mould.
Step 6: Decorate (Optional)
  1. To add a decorative touch, place pinecones (not included) on top of the firelighters.
  2. Melt additional wax and lightly coat the firelighters with a thin layer of wax using a jug.

Final Touch

  • Allow the firelighters to dry completely for 24 hours before use.
