To produce the MAXIMUM amount of sparks
- Place your fingers halfway up on the blade.
- Place your striker at an 85-degree angle in relation to the flint.
- Be sure to dig-into the flint with force.
- Both sides of blade can be used on flint and magnesium.
- Remember, the more pressure you apply, the more sparks you will produce.

Campfires
- Hold the firestarter so that the tip is pressing on the ground.
- Place it near dry grass, leaves, moss, clothes, dryer lint, paper, etc…
- Place the blade on the flint at a 85-degree angle and scrape downward.
- If you are lighting tinder, scrape off a small pile of magnesium.
- Next, ignite the magnesium with the flint.
- Place the tinder on the burning magnesium.
- The magnesium will dry out the tinder and start a fire!

Gas Grills
- Turn on the gas, stand about two feet away, and then shoot the sparks into the grill. The sparks will ignite the propane.
- Now its time for the hamburgers and steaks!
|
Charcoal Grills
- For presoaked charcoal, place your firestarter about one inch from the coals and scrape the flint onto the coals.
- If you are using lighter fluid, apply lighter fluid, let sit for 3-5 min to soak in, then shoot sparks onto coals. Ahhhhh, FIRE!
