Device use
1) Before use, make sure the installation is correct and there is no damage.
2) The unit should be installed on a flat surface to avoid damage or impact on normal use.
3) For safety reasons, gloves should be worn during assembly, use and disassembly.
4) Be aware of fire safety precautions during use.
5) Do not hit the body of the device with hard objects to avoid damage and affect use.
6) There will be a slight deformation after the high temperature, which is normal. Do not immediately cool it
with water.
Small amount of smoke will leak a bit when you first use it.
7) Smokey Tents
Unless there is something other than the firebox that is on fire, smokey tents are almost always a result of poor
drafting. Waste build up in flue pipe, spark arrestor, or flue damper can limit the rate at which smoke can escape –
eventually it will start spilling out into your tent. Loose guy lines can result in the tent 'heaving' in gusty winds,
creating a suction which can draw smoke and ash into the tent instead of out the flue pipe.
If there is not enough heat in the stove to cause air to rise out the flu pipe, smoke can build up in your tent
instead. (When you first use it, there should be a small smoke leak, in which case no one should stay inside the
tent for safety reason).
This cold stove effect is most common when lighting a tent stove or when a fire is burning
out.
In both cases make sure the bulk of the fire is pushed to the back of the stove directly under the flue pipe and make
sure your airways in and out are clear.
When in doubt, put it out!
There is no substitute for personal responsibility, safety precautions, and a fire extinguisher. Never start a fire you
are not prepared to attend constantly and extinguish completely. YOU, the operator of the stove and the starter of
the fire, are solely responsible for putting that fire out. Even if your tent stove is defective and malfunctions in the
course of normal use, that sense of profound injustice and frustration is not an effective firefighting tool.
Context is everything but establishing a checklist of routine actions when dealing with any stove issue should
include:
•
Get all non-essential personnel outside.
Always have a fire extinguisher handy. Keep it in the same spot so you know where to find them and make
•
sure it's ready to go at a moments notice.
Glove up with thick heat resistant gloves -- keep them next to your fire extinguisher.
•
•
Keep your stove clean. Clear your flue pipe, spark arrestor, and flue damper before every fire.
•
Have and use a CO detector and educate yourself about carbon monoxide and tent stove safety.
