The stove effectively uses a wood boiler principle where wood is stacked as it is fed into the chamber, this process achieves an extremely efficient combustion of biomass thanks to the stoves design which facilitates optimal air supply. The simple L-shaped design of the fuel support allows fuel be it wood,bark, twigs, cones or any sources of natural fuel that may be lying about or near your campsite to be stacked up and fed into the stove .
In the combustion chamber the heat is limited to a small space which is protected by the isolated housing. The heat escaping from the vent is then captured in the cast-iron top, providing optimal heat to cook your favorite camp meal, the escaping flames from the funnel are also a great way to cook your meats and vegetables, just like you would cook a stir fry at home over a gas flame. Before using the stove for the first time make sure you attach the supplied handles securely.
It goes without saying that this product should only be used in the outdoors and when using outdoors you should always adhere to the leave no trace principles and show consideration to the plant and animal life and to nature reserves.When you are finished with the stove make sure you remove the ashes from the combustion chamber when they are cold and dispose of them properly.
On this trip we cooked up a tasty indian dish and we were very impressed on how intense the heat can get from the funnel, of course you can control this by increasing or decreasing the amount of fuel that you are feeding into the stove.
