Tips and advice for use
• Place the Hobo Stove on a level and steady surface before starting a fire. If the surface
is uneven, you can secure the Hobo Stove with two traditional tent pegs on the sides.
• Before starting a fire, make sure the place is fireproof. Remove all flammable materials
such as leaves or dry grass. Make sure the Hobo Stove does not sink into the ground.
The Hobo Stove only works efficiently when enough air can be sucked into it through
the sides and the grate.
• To fan the fire, blow steadily on the embers through the gaps. Do not blow too
strongly.
Risk of flying sparks!
• If you want to move the Hobo Stove in a steady and safe way, lift it up by the oblong
sides. Always wear heat-resistant gloves.
• Make sure the Hobo Stove is straight and the cooking container cannot slip down.
• While cooking, you can add wood through the opening on the front panel without
lifting up the cooking container. However, it only works when the grate is in the
lower position (see C).
• As an alternative you can also heat the Hobo Stove with dry fuel tablets, tealights
or a commercially available compact spirit stove. For doing so, place the grate in
the upper position so that the heat of the flames is close to the cookware (see D).
