The torch should be upside down, with the BUTANE refill bottle inverted on top. Make sure the valve is centered. Press in and hold together tightly, after a few moments, IT WILL START TO LEAK OUT AT THE VALVE. ITS FULL. aGAIN, MAKE SURE YOU ARE USING BUTANE.

You need to use butane Fluid not zippo fluid it's not a zippo lighter. Simple fix :)

Under the red fire button there is a black switch that you have to push/pull down then hit the red fire button

If you're using liquid Zippo fuel. Your Butane Torch is probably junk. Zippo fuel is a petroleum liquid like gasoline. Not a high pressure gas as needed. Get BUTANE or better yet stop smoking altogether. Give your Grey Matter a chance, and society a break.

There is a saftly right underneath the push button to start. It just slides down and clicks into place. You have to do it every time.

Naphtha (the fluid used in traditional Zippo lighters) likely won't even go into a torch because even while empty the fuel chambers are slightly pressurized while bottles of naphtha aren't. You need a pressurized canister (like a can of butane) to get anything into the fuel tank.If using Zippo brand butane, the problem is more likely the fuel itself. Zippo brand butane is intended more for refillable Bic-type lighters and tends to not work well in many torches and torch type lighters. Brands such as Vector or Power (both common here on Amazon) are more refined and are better able to handle the high flow/burn rate of torches.

Hi Ada: The Zippo pipe lighter uses liquid lighter fluid and is shipped dry. You must supply your own fluid.Frank

It's very simple just add some butane fuel( I like to use the brand ronsen) once u have added the fuel just pull the hammer back and lighter will ignite at first it might not spark so u might had to click it a few times or use a match or another Lighter to ignite the dusk after that it will work great AMD it also has a flash light on It as well. Both work great just make sure u add the right amount of feu, and do nt over fill!!

Well with gas in tank, oil in the pan and some luck it should start. Use the starter bulb and try a few different settings on the choke.

Similar to trying to light a conventional torch with the flow rate of gas too high. Turn down the gas to low, which increases fuel to oxygen ratio, then try igniting the tool and slowly turn your fuel knob up.

If it says zippo lighter fluid then it will fill any kind of lighter. But with my experience ur better off getting fluid in a store. They sent me butane instead of lighter fluid. And I haven't been able to use my zippo since I got it. Read reviews first and see what packages come with

The smoke generator really stinks. You may have put too much in - turn it over and see if any oil drains out and try again.

I filled mine up with Butane no problem. I'm not sure what you mean by lighter fluid like Zippo type stuff? If it is that then you can't use that type of fuel, butane works fine.

Suprised it was damaged!! Mine was packed like a very well! As for the temp? I had that problem yesterday. Smoked a pork roast. Fired up just fine and was running too hot 250! Had both burners on low and both dampers open all the way. So, I turned the valve back on the propane tank. Next think I know the temp is at 150 and when I turn it up the temp will not increase. I shut everything down. Opened the valve on the propane tank all the way and restarted it. Worked fine after that. The propane regulators are very cheap now days and seem to have some issues. I have only used it 3 times and here are some suggestions. Keep what you are smoking if it is a small amount at the same level as the temp gauge. Only use 1 burner at a time. Why? When the 1st one burns out of wood chips you start the other. Then you can change out the chips and it is not hot. Wrap the pans in tin foil! They stay nice and it is an easy clean up when you are done. I am also looking into getting a very thin fire proof seal for the door. It is metal against metal and leaks some smoke. May not be worth the cost but a thought. Also..Make sure you burn it off!! Do it slow and work the vents and the doors as it heats up! They will stick! Hope this helps! Going to do a big turkey this weekend?! Yikes!!!

you must purchase a can of Butane fuel, I got mine at Wal-mart (Ronson /muti-fill). There is a small hole at the bottom of the mt3001, once located just press the small end of the fuel on the little port hole and the filling will start. If the fuel spray out, you may have a bad mt3001 of the wrong size filler on the fuel can. Hope this help.

Don't waist your money it leaks. I have tried two different ones just buy the smallest metal can of Zippo fluid and keep it in a bag or vehicel near you.

Mine came full. just get a can of butane. zippo canister on amazon. ( http://amzn.to/14xgsgY ). stick the nozzle in and refill like J Halbach described below. watch this video from youtube for more in depth step by step instruction: (http://bit.ly/clWoY4). all else fails, take it to a local cigar/tobacco shop, plead mental disability, and ask for help. good luck.

Mine would not even blow up. It was defective. According to other reviews, I'm not the only one with the same problem.

I have had similar problems with mine. I have to play with the flame size adjustment on the bottom of the insert. I've also had issue with the insert not wanting to recharge it's butane. Over all I am unhappy with this lighter insert.

I don't know. What I do know is I put this in my Zippo. I let it sit there for a few months without really using it. And now it's empty. I can probably refill it. But, that experience was a major let down for me.

1) make sure your fuel mixture is correct - you may have too much oil which would foul the plug 2) in the choke position, prime it 5 or 6X and check to see fuel flows (bulb should fill and you should see it flow in the fuel line,) if it is not flowing your problem is in the fuel line 3)squeeze the trigger and pull the starter coil until it tries to start 4) place the choke in half position and pull the start coil - it should start. 5) after it warms up 20-30 secs choke to run position. Note:Check that your air filter is clean as well - you can remove the sponge filter to see that your choke is working properly when moving the choke lever. 1) make sure your fuel mixture is correct - you may have too much oil which would foul the plug 2) in the choke position, prime it 5 or 6X and check to see fuel flows (bulb should fill and you should see it flow in the fuel line,) if it is not flowing your problem is in the fuel line 3)squeeze the trigger and pull the starter coil until it tries to start 4) place the choke in half position and pull the start coil - it should start. 5) after it warms up 20-30 secs choke to run position.
