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.

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.
