Troubleshooting

Charcoal not lighting.

Ensure you are using appropriate fire starters (e.g., paper or firelighters) and that they are properly lit. Check for adequate ventilation and ensure the charcoal is dry.

Handle getting too hot.

Ensure that you are only holding the wooden handle and not any other part of the chimney starter during use. Let the product cool down completely before moving or handling.
