Firestarting
Smaller sized sticks and kindling are ideal ways to get the fire initially lit. Starting with large sticks will result in
a lot of smoke and may not effectively start the fire. Solid Firestarters are included in your box and can create a
more dependable fire. Do not use liquid accelerant to start your fire. Tip: Smaller sized fuel is ideal for grilling.
Building Up
As the flame catches, larger sticks or strips of firewood can be placed into the mouth of the stove. These will
help build a coal bed and bring up the overall temperature of the stove
Strong & Ongoing
As your fire builds to a sustained strength and a coal bed is formed, you can use larger pieces of wood such as
branches up to 1.5 inches in diameter or split pieces of firewood. However, it is important to never crowd the
burn chamber. This will not create a better fire.
CAUTION
Overstuffing stove may lead to fire
outside the stove and a fire hazard to
the surrounding area (fig. 1b).
Use extreme caution when removing ash from stove. The stove and ash will be hot
and may cause injury if inadvertently touched. The ash must also be disposed of
properly as it may re-ignite and present a fire hazard.
