HeatRise Chimney Starter | Home Harbour Charcoal BBQ Starter

Barbecuing, without the faff. Lighter fluid is slow, smells of chemicals and can taint your food. The Home Harbour HeatRise Chimney Starter does it the clean way: a natural firelighter underneath, charcoal on top, one light — and the airflow-optimised body does the rest.

As the air is drawn up through the coals, they catch quickly and evenly, so you get proper glowing charcoal with fewer cold spots and no wasted fuel. When it's ready, tip the coals carefully into your barbecue and you're cooking.

Built from heavy-duty steel with a black high-temperature finish, HeatRise is made for real outdoor use, summer after summer. The natural wooden handle stays cooler to hold than bare metal (and won't melt like cheap plastic), and the steel heat-shield plate helps deflect rising heat — we still always recommend heat-resistant gloves, because the metal body gets genuinely hot. The handle attaches in a quick, simple assembly step.

Whether it's a garden BBQ, a camping trip or a festival cook-up, HeatRise is the simple upgrade that makes lighting charcoal the easy part.

1. Set Up the Bathtub

Unfold the bathtub completely and place it on a flat, stable surface.

Insert the six plastic support tubes into the designated side pockets to help the bathtub maintain its shape.

Inflate the top air ring using a suitable air pump until it is firm. Do not overinflate.

2. Before First Use

Before using the bathtub for the first time, rinse the inside thoroughly with warm water.

Do not use corrosive or harsh cleaning products.

In very cold conditions, allow the folded bathtub material to soften in warm water for 2–3 minutes before unfolding.

3. Fill the Bathtub

Fill the bathtub with water to a comfortable level.

For safety and to help prevent overflowing when entering the bathtub, do not fill above two-thirds of the tub's capacity.

When using warm water, ensure the water temperature does not exceed 50°C.

4. Enjoy Your Bath

Carefully enter the bathtub and adjust the water level if required.

For a warm bath, a comfortable water temperature is generally 38–42°C.

A bathing time of approximately 15–20 minutes is recommended.

5. Drain and Clean

After use, open the drainage outlet and allow the water to drain completely.

Rinse the inside of the bathtub with clean water and wipe it dry.

Do not leave water stored inside the bathtub for long periods, as this may affect the shape and condition of the product.

6. Fold and Store

Ensure the bathtub is completely empty and dry before folding.

Fold the bottom section inward, then fold both sides inward until the bathtub is compact.

Store in a clean, dry place away from excessive heat and direct sunlight.
