tabs Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 Just bought one of those velvet covered ones which burn (or not) the carbon type sticks. IT DONT WORK! the fuel burns for 5 mins then dies, maybe I need to let some o2 in. Is it just mine or are they all flawed. Tempted to try the reusable gel ones, anyone else use them?

Poacher Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 I sometimes use the same warmer your talking about, you need to make sure the carbon stick is well lit before you shut it, after lighting it blow on it to speed up the burn...do this for a couple of mins (don't breath in the fumes it gives me a headache :blink: ) I let it burn down about a centimetre Other possible problems You may have the stick in the burner the wrong way round so make sure the burning end is nearest the hole (if you look carefully you'll see it) Make sure the hole isn't blocked by the material on the inside ! Mine works a treat :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tabs Posted October 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 TY Poacher, where is the hole? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poacher Posted October 30, 2006 Report Share Posted October 30, 2006 its on one of the ends, (the side perpendicular to the hinge),, you'll find its quite hard to notice If you close it shut and look at the ends you should find it :blink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
