FireNest™ Safety & U.S. Regulatory Information

Last Updated: October 17, 2026

Blacksight is committed to providing clear information regarding the safe use and regulatory status of the FireNest™ portable alcohol camping stove.

This page provides general product-safety and regulatory information for FireNest™ products offered for sale in the United States. Nothing on this page should be interpreted as representing approval, endorsement, or certification by the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission or any other government agency.

Product Description

FireNest™ is a compact portable alcohol-fuel camping stove designed to support cookware for heating food or boiling water.

The FireNest™:

• Uses an alcohol-based liquid fuel
• Is designed as a portable cooking burner
• Is intended for use with cookware
• Has a fuel reservoir capacity of less than 100 mL
• Is a general-use consumer product and is not intended for use by children

U.S. Consumer Product Safety Law

FireNest™ is a consumer product subject to the jurisdiction of the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC) and the Consumer Product Safety Act (CPSA).

Under Section 15 of the CPSA, manufacturers, importers, distributors, and retailers may have reporting obligations when information reasonably supports the conclusion that a consumer product contains a defect that could create a substantial product hazard, creates an unreasonable risk of serious injury or death, or fails to comply with an applicable consumer-product safety rule, standard, regulation, or ban.

Blacksight encourages customers to discontinue use and contact us if a product appears damaged, leaks fuel, produces uncontrolled flames, or otherwise operates abnormally.

ASTM F3363-25 Scope

ASTM F3363-25 is the Standard Specification for Unvented Liquid/Gel Fuel-Burning Portable Devices.

The standard excludes camping-stove burners with a fuel volume below 200 mL that are intended for use with cookware.

FireNest™ is designed as a cookware burner and has a fuel capacity below 100 mL. Accordingly, a FireNest™ meeting these characteristics falls within the camping-stove category identified as outside the scope of ASTM F3363-25.

This exclusion does not constitute ASTM certification, CPSC approval, or an exemption from applicable federal, state, or local consumer-product safety requirements.

Blacksight does not represent FireNest™ as “ASTM F3363 certified” or “ASTM F3363 compliant.”

Outdoor Use and Carbon Monoxide

FireNest™ is a portable fuel-burning camping appliance.

USE OUTDOORS ONLY IN AN OPEN, WELL-VENTILATED AREA.

Do not operate Blacksight FireNest™ inside:

• Homes or apartments with no outdoor ventilation 
• Garages
• Vehicles
• Tents
• Enclosed porches
• Sheds
• Bedrooms
• Other enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces

Portable fuel-burning equipment can produce carbon monoxide and other combustion by-products.

Blacksight does not currently represent FireNest™ as having been tested or certified for operation inside an enclosed space.

Opening a window or door does not by itself establish that an enclosed space is safe for operation.

Blacksight FireNest™ must not be used as a room heater or space-heating appliance.

Fuel Safety

Alcohol fuels are highly flammable and can produce flames that may be difficult to see, particularly in bright conditions.

Never:

• Refill the burner while it is operating
• Refill a hot burner
• Pour fuel toward an open flame
• Overfill the fuel reservoir
• Move the burner while it is burning
• Leave the burner unattended
• Use gasoline, propane, butane, kerosene, or another fuel for which the burner was not designed

Before adding additional fuel:

1. Completely extinguish the burner.
2. Allow the burner to cool completely.
3. Verify that no flame remains.
4. Only then add additional fuel.

Never pour alcohol fuel into or toward a burner that may still be burning.

Keep alcohol fuel securely closed and away from flames, sparks, heat sources, children, and pets.

Flame Visibility

Alcohol flames can be faint or difficult to see.

Never assume that the burner is extinguished simply because a visible flame cannot be seen.

Always follow the proper extinguishing procedure and allow the burner to cool completely before handling, refueling, transporting, or storing it.

Fuel Bottle Safety

Any separate container used to store, transport, or dispense alcohol fuel must comply with applicable federal, state, and local requirements.

Certain portable fuel containers intended for fuels such as ethanol, methanol, or denatured alcohol may be subject to federal flame-mitigation requirements.

Customers should only use appropriate fuel containers designed for the storage and dispensing of the fuel being used.

Never store alcohol fuel in beverage bottles, food containers, or other containers that could be mistaken for something intended for consumption.

Children and Pets

FireNest™ is not a children's product.

Children must not:

• Light the burner
• Refuel the burner
• Move the burner
• Extinguish the burner
• Handle alcohol fuel

Keep FireNest™, alcohol fuel, matches, lighters, hot cookware, and related accessories out of the reach of children and pets.

Burner components can remain hot after the visible flame has disappeared.

Safe Operating Area

Place FireNest™ on a stable, level, non-combustible, heat-resistant surface.

Keep the burner away from combustible materials including:

• Curtains
• Paper
• Cardboard
• Tablecloths
• Plastics
• Dry vegetation
• Fuel containers
• Other flammable materials

Do not operate the burner beneath low shelves, cabinets, overhangs, tree branches, or other combustible structures.

Make sure the pot stand is properly assembled and stable before placing cookware over the burner.

Do not use cookware that causes the burner or stand to become unstable.

Product Inspection

Inspect FireNest™ before every use.

Do not operate the product if:

• Fuel is leaking
• The burner body is damaged
• Components are loose
• The burner is unstable
• The stand does not securely support cookware
• The burner has been significantly bent or deformed
• The product exhibits unusual or uncontrolled flame behavior

Stop using the product immediately if an unsafe condition develops.

Contact Blacksight customer support before using a damaged or malfunctioning product again.

Fire Safety

Never leave FireNest™ unattended while burning.

Do not move, carry, tilt, or reposition the burner while it is operating or while it remains hot.

Keep unused fuel away from the operating burner.

If fuel spills outside the burner, do not ignite the stove.

Remove ignition sources and allow the spilled fuel and vapors to safely dissipate or be cleaned in accordance with the fuel manufacturer's instructions.

If a fire spreads beyond the burner, move people away from the area and contact emergency services where appropriate.

Do not attempt to carry a burning stove.

Local Fire Restrictions

Restrictions may apply because of:

• Wildfire conditions

Customers are responsible for determining whether use of an open-flame cooking appliance is permitted at the intended location.

Customer Responsibility for Local Laws, Apartment Rules & Permitted Use

Laws, fire codes, regulations, and property restrictions governing portable alcohol-fuel cooking appliances may vary by state, county, city, municipality, building, and individual property.

It is the customer's responsibility to independently determine whether the possession, storage, and intended use of the FireNest™ is legally permitted at their specific location before purchasing, installing, storing, or operating the product.

Customers are responsible for reviewing and complying with all applicable requirements, including, but not limited to:

• Federal, state, county, and municipal laws and regulations

• Local fire codes, open-flame restrictions, and fire department requirements

• Apartment and condominium building rules

• Residential leases and rental agreements

• Landlord and property management restrictions

• Homeowners' association (HOA) and condominium association bylaws

• Building-specific fire safety policies

• Applicable insurance policy restrictions and requirements

• Campground, recreational property, and public-land regulations

Apartment, Condominium & Rental Property Residents

Customers residing in apartments, condominiums, rental homes, or other managed properties must independently confirm whether possession, storage, and intended outdoor operation of a portable alcohol-fuel stove are permitted under their lease, building regulations, fire codes, and property management policies.

Where authorization is required, customers must obtain the necessary permission from their landlord, property manager, building administration, or other applicable authority before using FireNest™.

Permission from a landlord or property manager does not override applicable fire codes, laws, or FireNest™ safety instructions.

Blacksight's Responsibility Regarding Local Restrictions

Blacksight does not independently research, verify, or guarantee that FireNest™ may be legally possessed, stored, or operated at every customer's specific address, apartment building, municipality, or intended location.

The availability of FireNest™ for purchase or delivery to a particular address does not constitute confirmation that its use is permitted at that location.

Customers must independently verify all applicable location-specific requirements and obtain any necessary approvals before operating the product.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Blacksight is not responsible for penalties, fines, lease violations, or other consequences arising solely from a customer's failure to comply with applicable location-specific use restrictions or property rules.

Nothing in this section excludes or limits any responsibility that Blacksight is legally required to retain under applicable consumer protection, pr
