If mine was really cold, I would have to start it with the spark, then
slowly continue to pump the air pump to feed air until it was hot enough to
draw in air with convection.  You can watch the LED and when it fades, pump
some air and it will brighten again.  Continue this until it will stay lit
on its own.
