Startup of the WoodGas camping stove.It is generally recommended that you use a starter when starting the campstove. The campstove works well when the internal temperature has reached the level required to produce the gases necessary for clean combustion. Here is an example of starting the stove with starter gel. |
|
|
Place the fuel in the campstove. In this example, wood chips and twigs are used. Do not fill the stove above the top holes in the can. |
|
Starter gel is deposited in a circle on top of the fuel. |
|
The starter gel is lit. Warning: If this is done in direct sunlight, the flame will be almost invisible, but can still be dangerous. |
|
As the gel burns, it starts combustion in the plant fuel. |
|
Once the gel is burning, the stove can be plugged in on the low setting. This will start burning the fuel a little more vigorously. |
|
Once the stove has become hot, the setting may be changed to high for fast cooking. The cross grid can now be put on the stove, and cooking may begin. |
