NOTE: “Fuel” refers to solid biomass, e.g. wood, pine cones, etc. Never use liquid fuels or charcoal.
1. Slide Power Module probe into stove body side. There will be a gap between the Power
Module and the body. This gap is intentional and is not meant to be sealed.
2. Fully extend all legs to lock Power Module in place.
3. Place on level ground away from any overhanging branches. Clear away dry brush on the
ground around the stove. Have water handy in case of accident.
4. Place small, loose, and dry fuel in Fuel Chamber . See right for suggestions on firestarting.
5. Light the fuel. Use a long match or the included firestarter to aid in safe firestarting.
6. After ten seconds, push Power Button to start fan. (This sets fan to LO to start oxygen flow.) If
fan turns off, push Power Button again.
NOTE: Fan will not operate at HI until fire is hot.
Recommended fuels for best fires:
• Tinder: dried twig shavings, birch bark
• Kindling: dry twigs (e.g. evergreen)
• Use firestarters to aid in firestarting
• 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 excessively and burn poorly
Firestarter sticks (included):
1. Loosely fill the Fuel Chamber with small dry fuel.
2. Light one end of the firestarter with a match or lighter. Wait
until the flame has lit about a third of the length of the stick.
3. Carefully place the firestarter inside the Fuel Chamber . Only
one stick is needed.
4. Wait 10, seconds, then push the Power Button to set fan to LO .
