Compressed fire power

The thoroughly designed Fire Plunger cleverly combines a century old fire-starting method. The traditional way to light tinder in a hollow cylinder by means of air compression was already known to indigenous people. This technique is revived with the Petromax Fire Plunger and is as simple as it is effective: The plunger is fitted with tinder and pressed down forcefully into the plunger body. Due to the arising air pressure and the heat of up to 400 °C you light the tinder and thus a ball of tinder or a fireplace provided in no time – without electricity, igniter or any other means. As an additional ignition option you can use the firesteel that is stowed inside the plunger. It guarantees a sparking fire start.

A nice handful

They are well secured through threaded caps. When you unscrew the tinder container from the plunger you can remove the additional firesteel. The Fire Plunger itself can be stowed compactly in the appropriate transport pouch. That way it is ensured that nothing is lost and the Petromax Fire Plunger is fully prepared for repeated ignition use.
