How to Use the Takibi Hearth Starter Set

Quick answer

The Takibi Hearth Starter Set is a vertical grilling accessory that also serves as a controlled fire starter. Use it with your Pack & Carry L Fireplace or Takibi Fire & Grill for quick, even ignition.

Steps to use the Takibi Hearth Starter Set for ignition

1. Set up the Hearth: Unfold the Hearth and place it on your fire base (Pack & Carry L Fireplace or Takibi Fire & Grill). Ensure it sits securely and the legs are locked in place. A common mistake is not checking that the Hearth is fully unfolded and locked—this can cause instability during use.
2. Load the fuel chamber: Place your tinder and kindling in the central chamber. Use dry wood or charcoal. Avoid overfilling; leave space for airflow. Too much fuel can smother the flame. Start with a small pile and add more after ignition.
3. Light the fire: Use a long-reach lighter or match to ignite the tinder from the bottom. The vertical design channels the flame upward, lighting the fuel above. If the fire struggles, open the bottom vents slightly (if available) to increase oxygen flow.
4. Add skewers or cookware: Once the fire is established, insert skewers into the Hearth's sides. Each side has space for two skewers, allowing simultaneous cooking. Wait until the flames are steady before adding food—this prevents uneven cooking and flare-ups.
5. Monitor and extinguish: Keep an eye on the fire. When done, let the fuel burn out completely. Do not douse with water unless necessary—let it cool naturally. Always check local fire regulations and never leave the fire unattended.
