1. CAMPSTOVE 2 COMPONENTS:
1. Pot Stand. 2. Fuel Chamber. 3. Stove Body. 4. Power Module. 5. Fire
Strength LED Indicator. 6. Fan Speed LED Indicator. 7. Power Supply LED Indicator. 8. Power Button. 9. USB
Charge-Out. 10. Micro USB Charge-In. 11. Folding Legs. 12. Detachable USB FlexLight. 13. Micro-USB Charging
Cord.
2. AT HOME:
The CampStove 2 features an on-board 2600 mAh internal battery that comes partially
charged so you can begin use immediately. 1. Check the battery life available by pressing the power button
once and the Power Supply LED indicator will illuminate. 2. If you would like to start your trip with a fully
charged battery, plug the included micro-USB cord into the USB-in port located underneath the Power
Module and connect to a power source. 3. The Power Supply LEDs will begin to flash upward in sequence
until the entire bar is solid green, indicating the battery is fully charged.
3. START UP:
“Fuel” refers to solid biomass, e.g. sticks, wood pellets, etc. NEVER use liquid fuels or charcoal.
1. Slide Power Module into Stove Body 2. Fully extend all legs to lock power module into place. 3. Place on
level ground away from any overhanging branches. Clear away dry brush on the ground around the stove.
4. Place small, dry fuel in Fuel Chamber; pack loosely and do not block air jets. 5. Light the fuel, using a
long match or lighter and with the aid of included firestarters. 6. After ten seconds, press the Power Button
2x to activate fan on START UP setting (this is the lowest speed and will help begin oxygen flow). Note:
Pushing the Power Button once will activate the battery level indicator. Push twice to access fan and control
airflow. Each subsequent push will take you through four fan speeds: 1x: Power Supply Indicator ON &
Charge Out Activated. 2x: Fan ON, Start Up. 3x: Fan ON, Low. 4x: Fan ON, Medium. 5x: Fan ON, Hi. 6x: Fan ON,
campfire/startup mode.
4. BURNING:
As fire builds, add larger dry fuel. At this point you can push the Power Button to increase
airflow and create an even stronger fire. The blue LEDs located in the middle of your Power Module will
indicate current fan speed. The stronger the fire, the more power will be generated by the thermoelectric
generator. At peak operation the stove can be packed to the top with fuel. DO NOT pack beyond air jets at
top of Fuel Chamber. Packing sticks beyond fuel chamber will result in incomplete combustion and may

present a burn hazard. Recommended fuels for best fires: BioLite premium food-safe wood pellets (sold
separately); Tinder - dried twig shavings, birch bark; Kindling - dry twigs. Dry dense fuels will burn hottest
and longest (e.g. oak, maple, fir, birch). Note: Avoid using wet or damp wood or leaves. These will smoke
and burn poorly.
5. COOKING:
The CampStove 2 works with the BioLite KettlePot and Portable Grill along with your existing
pots and pans. 1. Place cookware directly on top of Pot Stand. If cookware has a handle, align in the
direction of the Power Module so flames are blocked and handle does not overheat. 2. To refuel while
cooking, remove cookware carefully to add dry fuel as needed (for Portable Grill, simply lift fuel intake lid
with heatproof utensil). 3. If using Portable Grill, ensure that grill has been oriented properly - do NOT place
backwards. This will damage the Power Module. NOTE: To avoid damage to the Power Module, ensure that
it is never downwind of the flame. WARNING: Exercise extreme caution when moving pot or adding fuel as
pot and its contents are hot. Never touch metal parts of the CampStove 2 when in use. If required to move
CampStove 2, only touch the lower section of the plastic Power Module by power button area. Do NOT touch
upper portion as this may present a burn hazard. OVERHEAT MODE: CampStove 2 contains an automatic
warning mechanism when device is at risk of overheating. In this rare case, all heat LEDs will begin to flash;
stop refueling immediately and allow system to cool down. If LED begins to flash rapidly, system will
deactivate fan so fire cannot burn as hot. When system cools sufficiently, fan access will re-engage.
6. CHARGING:
1. The Power Supply LED Indicator shows how much power is available in the
internal battery to share out to external devices. When this bar is fully lit, it is capable of providing
one full phone charge, even without the fire running. 2. To charge devices such as mobile phones
and LED lights, attach your device’s charging cable to the USB Charge Out Port. Note: when
multiple Power Supply LEDs are lit, you may charge devices even when stove is not in use. 3.
When Power Supply LED Indicator has only one LED lit, CampStove 2 will enter Low Power Mode
and will stop offering a charge-out unless a fire is running. If fire is burning, it will charge external
devices in cycles, using real-time generation from the fire to return power to the battery. 4. To
ensure maximum continuous charging, always keep a strong fire going. The Fire Strength
Indicator directly correlates to the amount of power being produced. The more lights lit, the more
power is being created. WARNING: Keep devices away from flames and use caution when
plugging in to avoid hot metal parts of stove. FlexLight Use: 5. To use included FlexLight, plug
directly into USB Charge Out Port. Bend to desired angle and tap once to turn on. To dim, press and
hold top of FlexLight with finger to reach desired brightness.
7. SHUT DOWN:
1. Allow fire to burn down to cold ash. For live embers, pour into a dugout hole,
extinguish with water, and cover with dirt. 2. The Power Module will automatically turn off when
no heat is detected. To manually turn the Power Module off, press and hold the Power Button for
three seconds. After manual turn off, the fan may automatically turn back on to keep the Power
Module protected from the residual heat. 3. To store the stove after the Fuel Chamber is full cooled:
Fold legs down, remove Power Module, and slide Power Module into the Fuel Chamber. WARNING:
Never pour water into the stove. Remember to extinguish fully and bury embers – live embers
can start fires!
8. CLEANING & MAINTENANCE:
Remove Power Module from stove body and wipe down with a
damp cloth with soap and water. DO NOT submerge in water or allow to get excessively wet. Clean
out all ash from stove body and scrub with nylon brush. Dry thoroughly. Keep CampStove 2 in a
cool, dry, and well-ventilated place. Avoid storage in excessive heat. Keep out of reach of children.
