(121⁰ C ‐ 260⁰ C). Below this range can encourage creosote buildup, and above this range can
waste heat and potentially lead to over‐firing.
CAUTION: Remember that wood combustion consumes ambient oxygen; as mentioned
previously, be sure to always have some sort of an outside air intake such as a cracked door or
opened window.
England's Stove Works always recommends the use of a smoke detector and carbon monoxide
detector with any wood stove. Carbon monoxide is an odorless, colorless gas which can be
deadly. Installing a carbon monoxide detector and being aware of the symptoms of carbon
monoxide poisoning can help reduce the risk of carbon monoxide related issues.
Cooking:
One of the excellent functions of this camp stove is for cooking, and the offset flue enables as
much cooking space as possible.
CAUTION: Remember that the top of the stove will get very HOT.
Use a pan for cooking food on the top of your stove. Do not cook food directly on the stove
top. If you find that you must cook directly on the stove top, you should place the food on a
piece of stainless steel (for rust prevention) that can be removed and washed, when finished. If
rusting does occur over time, you may order a replacement high‐temperature spray paint from
England's Stove Works to repaint your unit (see Maintenance, below).
MAINTENANCE
Ash Removal: Inspect the firebox daily for ash accumulation, and to insure the firebrick (or the
BottomSaver steel insert) are in place and not damaged.
"Ashes should be placed in a metal container with a tight fitting lid. The closed container of
ashes should be placed on a noncombustible floor or the ground, well away from all
combustible materials, pending final disposal. If the ashes are disposed of by burial in soil or
otherwise locally dispersed, they should be retained in the closed container until all cinders
have been thoroughly cooled."
CAUTION: Keep a fire extinguisher handy at all times, including during ash clean up.
Remember to store the stove with ashes cleaned from the firebox, or premature rust and
degradation of the firebox will occur.
A small open container of a desiccant (i.e. cat litter) in the stove can help prevent corrosion
when the stove is not being used; be certain to remove it before transporting the stove or
building a fire.
