Why Different Materials, Shapes and Sizes?

  • Shapes

    Choose from 3 unique shapes:

    - Shield -
    - Ace -
    - Arrow -

    While we know that everyone will have a personal favourite, there is no actual difference in the way each shape performs.

  • Small VS Large

    Small Bellows are a good size for traveling or camping. They have a fast pump action for rapid blasts of targeted air. Large Bellows are more traditional in size and have a slower pump action allowing longer blasts of targeted air. This is a good size if you are looking for a Fathers Day gift.
    Performance-wise, they both work equally well.

FAQs

How to use a Bellow

  • Unlock the loop around the handle before you start pumping your bellow.
  • Make sure the vent hole faces downwards while pumping.
  • We suggest you operate about a hand’s length away from the hot embers, or from a distance you feel most comfortable with heat-wise.
  • While pumping, do not insert metal nozzle directly into the hot coals.
  • Don't rest the bellow against the hot fireplace structure, otherwise it may damage the bellow.

Product Care

  • It’s a natural product, so it’s best to store your bellows indoors where it can't get sun and rain damage over time. Use leather feed eg: Dubbin to keep the leather soft.
  • While pumping, do not insert metal nozzle directly into the hot coals.
  • Don't rest the bellow against the hot fireplace structure, otherwise it may damage the bellow.

The difference between small & large bellows

  • The small bellows work just as well as the large, they just have a faster pump action.
  • Small bellows are more convenient for travel or camping trips.
  • The larger bellows look more impressive because of their traditional size especially when displayed on the wall near your fireplace.
