FAQs

Redheads Wrapped Firelighters

Do I need to unwrap the Wrapped Firelighters?

Nope, the great thing about the Redheads Wrapped Firelighter is that you light the wrapper directly meaning you never have to touch the firelighter itself.

Are the Wrapped Firelighters waterproof?

Yes, should the Wrapped Firelighter get wet – Simply dry off the firelighter before using.

How many firelighters should I use?

Depending on your BBQ or fire, 2-3 cubes should be enough. You can add more as you go though!

Redheads Gasmatch

Which gas should I use for my gasmatch?

Premium butane is required to ensure optimum performance of your gasmatch.

Redheads gasmatches require the cleanest butane available at a pressure of 45 psi.

We recommended only using Ventti Premium Purified Universal Gas Refill. Ventti is a double scrubbed gas and is cleaner than any other product available and has virtually no odour.

The best way to refill a Redheads Gasmatch is with Ventii Butane Gas Refill which can be purchased from Bunnings Hardware or alternatively from the kiosk at any Coles or Woolworths.

How do I refill my gasmatch?

Always refill the gasmatch in an upside-down position to avoid injecting air into the gasmatch. If air gets in, you will need to let the air out and try refilling again.

Excess air can be removed from the fuel tank by pressing the refill inlet valve with a small (phillips head) screwdriver until no hissing sound is heard.

Hold gasmatch away from face when releasing air. This step is necessary because excess air in the fuel tank will not allow butane to be refilled and cause the gasmatch to not work properly.

Shake the butane gas refill can, press the stem of the refill can directly onto the refill valve on the bottom of the gasmatch.

Keep them in a straight position and let the gas go into the gasmatch for about 5 seconds. Repeat for a shorter period if needed.

There may be dirt or debris in the lighter. Try blowing forcefully into the top part of the unlit lighter Allow 3-4 minutes to let gas and lighter components reach room temperature before using.

With the Dual Flame, make sure the gas is turned up before igniting. The flame adjuster is the black dial located on the bottom of the gasmatch.
