Smoky Fire
• Use smaller pieces of kindling and sticks to build fire
• Collect drier fuel
• Avoid overstuffing stove – remove pieces of fuel to improve airflow
• Avoid windy locations
Devices not charging
• Check tech requirements of device to ensure it is within the spec range of
BioLite charging capabilities.
• Check the fire heat dashboard indicator. The stronger the fire, the faster it will
be ready to charge devices. If the fire is not hot enough, ensure that there is
space for airflow and fuel has been placed properly.
• Look at battery charge LED dashboard indicator. If less than two indicators are
lit, the battery is empty and needs time to store more energy before charging.
• Note that if the BaseCamp goes more than 6 months without a fire it will need
extra time during initial use to produce electricity.
• If two or more battery charge indicators are lit and devices are still not
charging, check cable cords.
• If cable cords are working and devices are still not charging, contact BioLite.
