1. Introduction
This manual provides essential information for the safe and efficient use of your YOLENY Wood Burning Stove. Please read all instructions carefully before assembly and operation. Proper use and maintenance will ensure optimal performance and longevity of your stove.
2. Safety Information
WARNING: Failure to follow these safety instructions could result in property damage, bodily injury, or death.
- Carbon Monoxide Hazard: Burning wood produces carbon monoxide, which is odorless and can be deadly. Always use this stove in a well-ventilated outdoor area. Never use inside a tent or enclosed space without proper ventilation and a carbon monoxide detector.
- Fire Hazard: Keep flammable materials at least 3 feet (1 meter) away from the stove. Ensure the stove is placed on a non-combustible surface. Do not leave the stove unattended while in operation.
- Hot Surfaces: The stove and chimney become extremely hot during use. Always use heat-resistant gloves when handling the stove or adding fuel. Keep children and pets away from the operating stove.
- Fuel Type: Only use dry, seasoned wood as fuel. Do not use charcoal, lighter fluid, gasoline, or other flammable liquids.
- Chimney Clearance: Ensure the chimney extends sufficiently above any tent or shelter to prevent smoke accumulation and fire hazards. Use appropriate chimney flashing if passing through a tent roof.
- Ash Disposal: Dispose of ashes only after they have completely cooled. Place them in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid.
- Stability: Ensure the stove is placed on a stable, level surface to prevent tipping.

6. Operating Instructions
Operating your YOLENY Wood Burning Stove for heating and cooking.

It shows the Combustion Chamber at the top where wood burns, the Ash Accumulation Area below it, and the Oven Area at the very bottom, indicating efficient heat conduction and rapid temperature rise.
- Fueling the Stove: Open the main door and place small pieces of dry, seasoned wood into the combustion chamber. Do not overfill.
- Lighting the Fire: Use a fire starter or kindling to ignite the wood. Once a small fire is established, gradually add larger pieces of wood.
- Adjusting Airflow (Damper): Use the adjustable air inlet to control the burn rate. Open it more for a hotter, faster burn (e.g., for cooking) and close it partially for a slower, more sustained burn (e.g., for warmth).
- Using the Top Cooking Surface: The top lid can be opened to expose the flame directly to cookware for boiling water or grilling.
- Using the Wood Oven: The lower compartment functions as an oven. Monitor the temperature using the integrated thermometer. Place food on the oven tray.
- Adding Fuel: When the fire dies down, carefully open the main door and add more wood using heat-resistant gloves.
- Safe Extinguishing: Allow the fire to burn down naturally. Do not use water to extinguish the fire inside the stove, as this can damage the metal. Ensure all embers are completely out before leaving the stove unattended or disassembling.

7. Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the safe and efficient operation of your stove.
- Ash Disposal: After the stove has completely cooled, pull out the ash tray from beneath the combustion chamber. Dispose of ashes in a metal container with a tight-fitting lid. Never dispose of hot ashes in plastic or combustible containers.
- Cleaning the Stove Body: Wipe down the exterior of the stove with a damp cloth after it has cooled. For stubborn stains, a mild abrasive cleaner suitable for metal can be used.
- Cleaning the Chimney: Periodically inspect the chimney pipes for creosote buildup. Clean as needed using a chimney brush to prevent fire hazards.
- Glass Window Cleaning: If the glass window becomes dirty, clean it with a specialized stove glass cleaner when the stove is cold.
- Inspection: Before each use, inspect the stove for any signs of damage, cracks, or loose components. Ensure all seals are intact.
- Storage: When not in use, ensure the stove is clean and dry. Disassemble the chimney and legs, pack all components into the carry bag, and store in a dry place to prevent rust.
8. Troubleshooting
Here are some common issues and their potential solutions:
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Difficulty starting fire | Wet wood, insufficient kindling, poor airflow | Use dry wood and ample kindling. Ensure air inlet is fully open. |
| Excessive smoke | Wet wood, chimney blockage, insufficient draft | Use dry wood. Check chimney for obstructions. Ensure chimney is tall enough and air inlet is open. |
| Stove not heating efficiently | Too little fuel, air inlet closed too much, poor quality wood | Add more fuel. Open air inlet. Use dry, seasoned wood. |
| Smoke leaking from seams | Loose connections, damaged seals | Check all connections and ensure they are tight. Inspect and replace any damaged seals. |
