FAQs

How many fires can I expect from one pack?

Each pack contains enough firelighters for up to 20 fires, depending on how many cubes you use per fire.

Can I use these firelighters for my barbecue?

Yes, they are suitable for lighting charcoal for barbecues.

Are these safe to use indoors?

How should I store the firelighters?

Store them in a cool, dry place away from heat and out of reach of children.

Are Zip firelighters eco-friendly?

Zip firelighters are formulated for efficient ignition, meaning fewer are needed, contributing to less waste. They are approved for use in HETAS appliances, which are often designed for cleaner burning.

What does HETAS approved mean?

HETAS approval signifies that the product meets the standards set by the Heating Equipment Testing and Approval Scheme for use in the UK, particularly relevant for solid fuel and biomass appliances.

Troubleshooting

Firelighter does not ignite easily

Ensure the firelighter is dry and has not been exposed to moisture. Check that it is placed correctly under the kindling and that there is adequate airflow.

Fire dies out too quickly

Confirm that enough fuel (kindling or charcoal) has been placed on the established flame. Ensure the firelighter is not too old, as performance can degrade over time.

Unpleasant odor during use

This is normal for kerosene-based firelighters. Ensure the area is well-ventilated to minimize the smell. The odor dissipates once the fire is well-established.
