• Outdoor Use Only: This stove is designed for outdoor use in well-ventilated areas. Never use it inside tents, vehicles, or any enclosed space, as it produces carbon monoxide, which can be fatal.

• Hot Surfaces: The stove and its components will become extremely hot during and after use. Do not touch hot surfaces with bare hands. Use heat-resistant gloves or tools. Allow the stove to cool completely before handling or storing.
• Children and Pets: Keep children and pets away from the stove during operation and while it is cooling down.
• Fuel: Use only natural, dry biomass fuels such as wood, twigs, leaves, dried grass, or pine cones. Do not use charcoal, lighter fluid, gasoline, or other volatile fuels.
• Windscreen Placement: Position the windscreen to block wind effectively, but ensure adequate airflow to the stove to prevent excessive heat buildup or incomplete combustion.

5. Operating Instructions

5.1 Fueling the Stove

The Ohuhu Wood Burning Camp Stove is designed to use various natural biomass fuels. Collect dry, small pieces of:

• Wood (twigs, small branches)
• Leaves
• Dried Grass
• Pine Cones

Place a small amount of tinder (e.g., cotton balls, paper, fine dry grass) at the bottom of the combustion chamber, followed by small kindling. Gradually add larger fuel as the fire establishes.

5.2 Lighting and Cooking

1. Ensure the stove is on a safe, non-combustible surface and the windscreen is properly deployed.
2. Ignite the tinder using a lighter or matches. Allow the fire to catch and build.
3. Once a stable flame is achieved, place your pot, pan, or grill grate on the pot support arms.
4. Adjust the heat by adding or removing fuel, or by adjusting the height of the ash catcher plate (if not already set during assembly). A higher ash catcher plate brings the fuel closer to the cooking surface for more intense heat.
5. Continuously feed small amounts of fuel to maintain the desired flame and heat.

5.3 Using the Windscreen

The 12-plate windscreen significantly improves cooking efficiency by protecting the flame from wind, reducing fuel consumption, and maintaining consistent heat. Position it to block the prevailing wind direction while ensuring sufficient air intake for the stove's combustion.

6. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your Ohuhu Camp Stove and Windscreen.

• Cleaning: After each use, allow the stove and windscreen to cool completely. Empty any remaining ash from the ash catcher plate. Wipe down all stainless steel surfaces with a damp cloth to remove soot and residue. For stubborn stains, a mild abrasive cleaner can be used, followed by rinsing and thorough drying.
• Drying: Ensure all components are completely dry before storing to prevent rust or corrosion.
• Storage: Disassemble the stove and fold the windscreen. Store all components in their respective carrying bags in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and moisture.
