How it works

Compression drives air toward the inner rod to help ignite carbon cloth. Then place the carbon cloth near a small amount of hay or tinder and fan gently to encourage a flame. This method focuses heat and air where you need it for a controlled start.

• Note: Without carbon cloth and hay, only a compression tube is present.
• For the fastest results, pair the compression tube with carbon cloth and hay in your ignition setup.

Usage tips and care

• Keep the unit dry and clean after use to maintain smooth operation.
• Practice the compression technique to become familiar with directing air toward the ignition area.
• Use on dry wood and tinder for best results in outdoor conditions.
