Hints and advice
• Place the Petromax bk1 on a level and steady surface before startinga fire. If the surface
is uneven, you can secure the Petromax bk1 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 Petromax bk1 does not sink in the ground.
The Petromax bk1 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 Petromax bk1 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 Petromax bk1 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 as near as possible to the cooking
vessel (see D).
