Operating Tips
Simulated Camp Fire
A quiet yellow flame, similar to that of a camp fire, is easily created by
inserting the Flame Modifier into the burner tube. The Power Stove will not
produce smoke, odor, ash, charcoal, or sparks common to wood camp fires.
The risk of causing a forest or grass fire is reduced because no hot coals
remain after the Power Stove is shut off.
Cooking Temperature
Most cooking is done at low to mid heat levels. High heat levels are
appropriate for lighting charcoal or wood camp fires and boiling large
amounts of water. When cooler cooking temperatures are needed, the flame
modifier may be used. Light sooting of the cookware may occur when using
the flame modifier. Apply a light coating of dish soap to the underside of
the cookware (prior to use) to ease soot removal.
Lighting Charcoal
The Power Stove will light charcoal fast! Place charcoal in a lighting
chimney, steel basket, or on a grate on the stove. Slide the flame spreader
disk away from the burner tube if using a lighting chimney. Light the stove,
turn it up high, and within minutes the charcoal will be ready for use. Turn
off the stove before removing the charcoal.
Dutch Oven Use
The Power Stove is excellent for Dutch oven cooking! The oven’s legs will
fit inside of or around the stove’s leg braces, preventing the oven from
sliding. The Power Stove provides a regulated heat source from below the
Dutch oven while charcoal on the lid heats from above. The flame modifier
may be used if low heat is desired.
Lighting Camp Fires
The Power Stove is perfect for lighting camp fires! Place fire wood in an
approved fire pit. With wind screens and leg braces removed, slide the flame
spreader disk away from the burner tube. Fold the legs together and place
stove on its side in the fire pit with the top of the burner pointing toward the
base of the wood. Route the fuel hose away from the fire to prevent damage.
Ignite stove and turn the flame level up high. The fire wood will ignite
within minutes. Turn off stove and remove it from the fire pit.
