Seeing as we are Snowboard Wax and this is our first real post we thought it would be fitting to talk about the Burton Hot Stick Snowboard Wax Iron.

I have used this snowboard wax iron myself for two seasons running and it has yet to fail on me. It is a little pricey when compared with some the competition but as with most of Burton products you get a quality build that will last you. The Burton snowboard iron is very simple to operate just like most wax irons. There is a simple heat gauge dial with an indicator light so you know if the wax iron is up to temperature yet. The heat gauge has 3 stages to work with although you can vary the dial in between these set temperatures.

The handle of the iron is made up of a soft plastic that is very pleasing to touch and never gets to hot to handle (no pun intended!). When resting the ironing you can be sure the Burton wax iron sits firm on its cool flat underside and does not look like it’s going to fall over any minute on its hot surface.

The power cord could be a little longer but to be honest it really is a good enough length for most. The Burton iron is a tad large but this makes using it a pleasure. You get the usual Burton style giving you, dare I say it, an aesthetically pleasing wax iron!! Never thought I’d say that about an iron.

Well to sum up the Burton Hot Stick Snowboard Wax Iron, if you are prepared to spend that little bit extra you will get your self a well built and well designed snowboard iron that will last as long as you need it to.
