Operating Instructions
Fueling the Stove
The CANWAY Camping Stove is designed to use readily available natural fuels, making it environmentally friendly and convenient for outdoor adventures. It can also be used with solidified alcohol.
- Gather dry branches, leaves, wood chips, or prepare solidified alcohol fuel.
- Place a small amount of tinder and kindling into the combustion chamber.
- Light the tinder using a match or lighter.
- Once the fire is established, gradually add larger pieces of fuel to maintain the flame. The blow pipe can be used to help ignite and maintain the fire.

Maintenance
Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your CANWAY Camping Stove:
- Cleaning: After each use, allow the stove to cool completely. Remove any ash and unburnt fuel. Wipe down all stainless steel components with a damp cloth. For stubborn residue, a mild abrasive cleaner can be used, followed by thorough rinsing and drying.
- Storage: Ensure all parts are completely dry before storing to prevent rust. Store the stove in its provided nylon carry bag in a dry place.
- Inspection: Periodically inspect the stove for any signs of damage, such as cracks, bends, or loose connections. Replace any damaged parts immediately.
Troubleshooting
Here are solutions to common issues you might encounter:
- Difficulty Lighting Fire: Ensure fuel is completely dry. Use smaller pieces of tinder and kindling to start. The blow pipe can assist in providing oxygen to the initial flame.
- Low Flame or Excessive Smoke: This often indicates insufficient airflow or damp fuel. Use the blow pipe to increase oxygen. Ensure the air intake holes at the bottom are not blocked. Add drier, smaller fuel pieces.
- Stove Not Heating Efficiently: Check that the pot support is correctly placed and not obstructing the flame. Ensure the fuel chamber is adequately filled and the fire is burning strongly.
- Stove Instability: Always place the stove on a firm, level surface. Ensure all interlocking parts are securely fitted during assembly.
