Detailed Instructions for
the Wood/Charcoal Stove
The Wood/Charcoal stove can be used with wood or
charcoal fuels.
• For wood burning, open the big door and place the
fuel shelf in front of the stove. Insert the sticks,
burning only at the ends makes a lot less smoke.
Control the airflow using the little door – fully open for
high power, 1/2 open for low power. To light the
stove, place some kindling inside the combustion
chamber. Add larger pieces of wood when the flame
is established. Continue pushing sticks into the stove
as they are burned. Do not overfill the stove.
• To use the stove with charcoal, insert the ceramic
piece and close the big door. Then fill with charcoal
from the top. Control the power of the stove by
adjusting the small lower door, fully open for high
power and almost fully closed for low power. The
ceramic piece must be used or the metal door will
burn out quickly.
• The adjustable pot skirt helps to save fuel! Loosen the
nut and adjust the skirt making sure that the skirt touches
the top of the stove. Then tighten the nut.
Use the stove only in a well-ventilated area!
Do not use the stove indoors.
Keep the stove out of the rain. Keep it dry.
