4. Operating Instructions

4.1. Fuel Types

The Ohuhu Rocket Camping Stove is highly versatile and can use various fuel sources:

• Wood: Twigs, small branches, wood chips.
• Biomass: Leaves, dried grass, pine cones, and other natural combustible materials.
• Solidified Alcohol/Fuel Tablets: Used with the dedicated alcohol plate.

4.2. Using Wood/Biomass Fuel

1. Ensure the stove is assembled correctly with the Stove Base Plate in place.
2. Gather dry wood or biomass. Dry fuel burns more efficiently and produces less smoke.
3. Place a small amount of tinder (e.g., paper, cotton, fine dry grass) at the bottom of the Stove Chamber.
4. Add small pieces of kindling (thin twigs) on top of the tinder.
5. Light the tinder. Once the kindling catches fire, gradually add larger pieces of wood.
6. The stove features an adjustable ash catcher with two height settings (7.1 cm / 9.7 cm). This allows you to control the intensity of the heat. Use higher settings for intense heat (e.g., grilling) and lower settings for simmering or warming.
7. Feed fuel through the top opening as needed to maintain the desired flame.

4.3. Using Solidified Alcohol/Fuel Tablets

1. Place the Solidified Alcohol Plate on the Stove Base Plate.
2. Place your solidified alcohol block or fuel tablet onto the plate.
3. Light the fuel.
4. Place your pot or pan on the Pot Supporter.

4.4. Cooking and Grilling

The stove supports both cooking with pots/pans and grilling:

• Cooking: Place your pot or pan directly on the Pot Supporter. The 3-arm design ensures stability and even heat distribution.
• Grilling: Place the Grill Grid for BBQ on top of the Pot Supporter. This allows you to grill small items directly over the flame.

• Never leave the stove unattended while in use.
• Ensure adequate ventilation when operating the stove.
• Keep children and pets away from the stove during operation.
• Allow the stove to cool completely before handling or disassembling.

5. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Ohuhu Rocket Camping Stove:

• Cleaning: After each use, allow the stove to cool completely. Remove any ash and unburnt fuel from the Stove Base Plate and Stove Chamber. Wipe down the stainless steel components with a damp cloth. For stubborn residue, a mild abrasive cleaner can be used, followed by rinsing and thorough drying.
• Storage: Disassemble the stove into its individual components. Store them in the provided mesh carrying bag. Ensure all parts are clean and dry before storage to prevent corrosion. Store in a dry place.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect all components for any signs of damage, such as cracks, bends, or excessive wear. Replace any damaged parts immediately to ensure safe operation.

6. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your stove, refer to the following troubleshooting tips:

• Difficulty Lighting Fire:
  • Ensure your tinder and kindling are completely dry.
  • Check for adequate airflow through the bottom vents. Do not block them.
  • Use smaller pieces of fuel to start, gradually adding larger ones.
• Excessive Smoke:
  • This usually indicates incomplete combustion. Ensure fuel is dry.
  • Avoid overfilling the stove. Allow sufficient space for airflow.
  • Once the stove reaches optimal temperature, the gasification process should reduce smoke significantly.
• Low Heat Output:
  • Check the fuel type and dryness. Wet or green wood will produce less heat.
  • Ensure sufficient fuel is loaded.
  • Verify that the bottom vents are clear for proper airflow.
  • Adjust the ash catcher height for more intense heat if using wood.
• Stove Instability:
  • Ensure the stove is placed on a firm, level surface.
  • Verify that all components, especially the Pot Supporter, are securely assembled.
