Paul@Ribchester Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 I got one of these last week, took some firing up initially but once going it lasted all day and was very hot........ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mick miller Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Good for a bit of sitting in a hide or a day out beating but don't bother with one for deer stalking or rabbit shooting though, they'll smell the four star wafting off you from a mile away.

hedd-wyn Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 I bought one for the father in law this Christmas. He isn't easily impressed, in fact he's frowned upon every gift I have ever bought him.... until I got him one of these beauties He was well chuffed with it, ideal for fishing, shooting or walking the dog Thanks to the Zippo Hand warmer, he has finally accepted me into his family and I now feel complete : Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wriggler Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 What's the best way to get one started for the first time, I followed the instructions but it wouldn't light so I filled the ****** up but it still wont light. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian E Posted January 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 BK try taking it out of your pocket and the bag and let the air get to it, it should warm up then, or try turning it so the burner is facing downwards. Wriggler, the first few times I light my one, I did it on the gas stove, plenty of petrol in, then gave it a good 10 seconds over the stove, you will see the burner glow red then. Or you could try filling it up and just before you light it, put a drop or 2 on the burner, and stand well back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bk Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Ive actually fired it up tonight to give it another go and the burner is starting to glow red. Maybe it was too new Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Albert Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 They are brill. I got the Zippo one and only fill it up half way. Runs for about 6-8 hours on half a fill. When new, ie strait out of the box, fill it right up using the filler and run it. Then in future fill it accordingly. I use mine for golf and shooting.

Spara Dritto Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 I've just brought one, 2 replacement burners and some fuel. Excited to try them out! How long will the actual burner last? Is it reusable, or does it need replacing after every use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zab10 Posted February 5, 2012 Report Share Posted February 5, 2012 How long will the actual burner last? Is it reusable, or does it need replacing after every use? it says 70 to 80 uses on instructions i filled mine at 2.30 yesterday as i said above and it was still warm at 3.30 today , very impressed with this bit of kit and it will be with me on the shore and in the pigeon hide regular. my mate got one too and didnt light it before he went shooting last night and tried to light it out on the shore in the wind and didnt manage so froze as i sat with lovely glow in my jacket pocket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
