2. Safety Warnings
Failure to follow these safety warnings may result in fire, explosion, serious injury, or death.
- This product is for outdoor use only or in well-ventilated environments. STRICTLY PROHIBITED for use inside tents, cars, rooms, or any other enclosed spaces.
- Avoid using in direct hot sun or other high-temperature environments.
- Immediately cease use if any gas leakage is detected (e.g., onion-like smell).
- Do not modify the product. Its structure is precise, and unauthorized modifications can lead to danger.
- Never disassemble or install the gas tank near an open flame or when the stove is still hot. Ensure the stove is completely extinguished and cooled.
- Keep the stove and gas tank away from flammable and explosive materials during use and storage.
- During ignition, do not place your head, hands, or any other body parts directly above the stove to prevent burns.
- The metal parts of the furnace head become extremely hot during use and for at least 5 minutes after being turned off. Do not touch these parts until they have completely cooled.
- Gas tanks should not be refilled. Repeated refilling may lead to accidents.
- Children under 12 years of age should not use this product unsupervised.
3. Product Overview and Features
The BRS-TS20 Reactor Head is an advanced outdoor cooking and heating solution. Its key features include:
- Integrated Reactor Design: Utilizes infrared combustion for efficient heating, saving wind and air, and achieving high thermal efficiency.
- High Thermal Efficiency: Up to 70% thermal efficiency, capable of boiling 1 liter of water in approximately 3 minutes with a gas consumption of about 79g/h.
- High Altitude Performance: Professionally tested and proven effective at altitudes up to 4,860 meters.
- Infrared Heating: Features special heating metal wool that can reach temperatures of 800°C, converting heat completely to infrared radiant heat, allowing it to be used as a flameless heater.
- Condenser Ring Heat Collection System: An energy gathering ring with a wraparound enclosed design efficiently traps internal heat, providing efficient wind protection and potentially halving fuel consumption while doubling speed.
- Versatile Cookware Compatibility: Includes a stove head support compatible with a wide range of cookware such as kettles and frying pans.
- Durable Construction: The pot body (if using compatible BRS pots) is made of hard alumina, offering wear-resistance, high-temperature resistance, corrosion-resistance, non-stick properties, and ease of cleaning. Features anti-scalding folding handles.
- Compact and Portable: Designed for nested storage, making it easy to carry.

5. Setup Instructions
Follow these steps to properly set up your BRS-TS20 Reactor Head:
- Take out the Valve Switch: Locate and prepare the valve switch for connection.
- Install the Gas Tank:
- Ensure the valve on the stove head is in the fully closed position by turning it clockwise.
- Connect the valve body of the stove head to the gas tank and tighten it securely.
- Pre-Ignition Check: Before attempting to ignite, carefully check for any gas leakage. If you detect an odor (e.g., onion-like smell), immediately stop and re-check all connections. Do not proceed with ignition if a leak is suspected.
6. Operating Instructions
6.1. Ignition
- Open Valve: Slowly turn the valve switch counterclockwise to open the gas flow. Do not open it too wide initially.
- Light the Furnace Head: Use an external fire source (e.g., lighter, match) to ignite the furnace head.
Important Tip for Ignition:
- If using a new gas tank or in a high-pressure environment, the flame might initially float above the net, and the metal sponge body may not glow red. If this occurs:
- Turn down the valve slightly and wait 1-3 minutes for the flame to settle and burn into the net.
- Alternatively, reduce the gas amount for ignition directly within the network.
6.2. Closing the Stove
- Turn Off Valve: Turn the valve clockwise until it is fully closed, extinguishing the flame.
- Cool Down: Allow the stove to cool completely for at least 5 minutes. The metal parts will be extremely hot.
- Disassemble: Once cooled, carefully unscrew the stove head from the gas tank.
7. Maintenance
- Cleanliness: Keep the stove dry and clean to prevent corrosion.
- Discoloration: It is normal for the furnace surface to discolor during use. This does not affect performance.
- O-Ring Inspection: Before each use, inspect the O-seal rubber ring at the connection point between the valve body and the gas tank. Ensure it is present and in good condition. Replace if damaged.
- Clear Connections: Keep the connection area between the valve body and the gas tank clean and free of debris to avoid blocking the gas airway.
- Storage: Always separate the stove head from the gas tank before storing. Store in a dry, safe place.
8. Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Flame floats above net, metal sponge does not glow red. | New gas tank or high-pressure environment. | 1. Turn down the valve and wait 1-3 minutes for the flame to burn into the net. 2. Reduce the amount of gas for ignition in the network. |
| Gas leakage detected (e.g., onion smell). | Loose connection or damaged O-ring. | Immediately stop use. Re-tighten connections. Inspect and replace O-seal rubber ring if damaged. |
9. User Tips
- Always ensure your gas tank is securely attached and there are no leaks before attempting to ignite the stove.
- When using the stove as a heater, ensure adequate ventilation even though it produces no visible flame, as gas combustion still consumes oxygen.
- Consider carrying a spare O-ring for the gas tank connection, as these small parts can wear out or get lost.
