THIS IS NOT A TOY, USE WITH ADULT SUPERVISION ONLY!
Type of Fuel to Use: This stove was designed to use denatured alcohol or methyl alcohol. SLX Klean Strip Brand Denatured Alcohol and Gas-Line HEET in the yellow bottle are the best fuels I've found and can be purchased at almost any paint or hardware store or gas station and auto parts stores. Neither denatured or HEET should be burned indoors as the chemical added to the alcohol makes it toxic and gives off a toxic odor.
Caution: Do not use the HEET from the red bottle.
DO NOT USE: Coleman Fuel, Kerosene, Gasoline, Diesel Fuel or any type of petroleum product.
For your safety, use the stove outdoors only! Never in a tent, house, garage or other enclosed space.
Do not place this stove on a surface that will burn or one that can be damaged by high heat.
Keep all combustible materials at least 10 feet from the stove while in operation
To snuff out an unwanted flame, do not use water! Use a pot or pan and smother the fire.
IMPORTANT: Alcohol flames generally cannot be seen in bright light. Try to use the stove in a shaded area in order to monitor it's flame pattern.
Do not fill the stove above the scored ring on the inside wall of the stove. To do so will increase the probability of a fire outside of the stove.
When the flames of the stove have been extinguished, DO NOT attempt to pick up the stove for at least 10 minutes. To do so could cause personal injury in the form of burns on your fingertips.

THIS STOVE WAS DESIGNED TO USE DENATURED ALCOHOL OR GAS LINE HEET IN THE YELLOW BOTTLE (METHYL ALCOHOL). YOU CAN PURCHASE DENATURED ALCOHOL AT ANY PAINT STORE, HARDWARE STORE OR WAL-MART AND GAS LINE HEET IN THE YELLOW BOTTLE AT MOST AUTOMOTIVE PLACES OR GAS STATIONS.
CAUTION
LOOK INSIDE THE STOVE AND NOTICE THE SCORED RING ON THE UPPER 1/3 OF THE INSIDE WALL. DO NOT FILL THE STOVE ABOVE THE SCORED RING. FILLING THE STOVE ABOVE THIS LINE MAY CAUSE THE STOVE TO LEAK FUELWHICH WILL CAUSE A FIRE OUTSIDE THE STOVE.
THIS STOVE WILL HOLD UP TO 3 OUNCES OF FUEL. IF YOU OVER FILL THE STOVE YOU WILL NOTICE FUEL COMING OUT OF THE SIDE HOLES. DO NOT LIGHT THE STOVE IN THIS CONDITION. EMPTY THE STOVE OUT AND WAIT UNTIL THE SPILLED FUEL EVAPORATES.
IF YOU SPILL FUEL ON THE STOVE OR OUTSIDE OF THE STOVE, CLEAN IT UP BEFORE YOU LIGHT THE STOVE.FLAMES FROM BURNING ALCOHOL ARE VERY HARD TO SEE IN A BRIGHT ENVIRONMENT SO BE CAREFUL. IF POSSIBLE TURN DOWN THE LIGHTS ENOUGH SO YOU CAN SEE THE FLAMES BETTER.
PRIOR TO LIGHTING THE STOVE PLEASE REMOVE THE FUEL BOTTLE FROM THE STOVE AREA AND CLEAN UP ANY SPILLS TO PREVENT A FIRE HAZARD.
DIRECTIONS
PLACE THE HEAT SHIELD (SMALL SQUARE OF ALUMINUM FOIL) UNDER THE STOVE AND ON A SOLID LEVEL NON-COMBUSTABLE SURFACE. IF YOU ARE COOKING ON THE GROUND, IF POSSIBLE, PUT THE STOVE IN A SHALLOW HOLE (1/2” DEEP) TO HELP STABILIZE IT.USE YOUR SHOE OR BOOT TO COMPRESS THE DIRT IN THE HOLE FOR A FIRM BASE.
BEFORE YOU LIGHT THE STOVE PUT THE FILLED COOK POT ON TOP OF THE STOVE TO SEE IF IT IS STABLE ENOUGH TO KEEP THE POT FROM TIPPING OVER AND ADJUST AS NECESSARY.
KEEP ALL FLAMMABLE OBJECTS AWAY FROM THE STOVE AT ALL TIMES. DO NOT PLACE THE STOVE DIRECTLY IN THE SNOW. THE STOVE WILL MELT DOWN THROUGH THE SNOW AND TIP OVER.
THE WINDSCREEN IS FOLDED UP IN THE PACKAGING BOX.PRE-FIT THE WINDSCREEN AROUND YOUR COOKING POT SO THERE IS ABOUT A 1” GAP BETWEEN THE POT AND WINDSCREEN, THIS ALLOWS FOR ADEQUATE AIR FLOW.THE WINDSCREEN IS CUT LONG TO ACCOMMODATE MOST ANY COOKPOT.IF YOU NEED TO, YOU CAN SHORTEN THE WINDSCREEN BY FOLDING IT OR CUTTING IT. AFTER IT IS PREFIT FASTEN THE TWO OVERLAPPING ENDS OF THE WINDSCREEN WITH THE PAPER CLIP TO HOLD IT IN A CIRCLE.IF YOU FIT THE WINDSCREEN TOO TIGHT AROUND THE POT IT WILL TAKE LONGER TO BOIL SO REMEMBER TO LEAVE THE GAP. PLACING THE WINDSCREEN AROUND THE STOVE WILL KEEP THE FLAMES FROM BLOWING AROUND AND KEEP THE HEAT CENTERED UNDER THE POT ALLOWING FOR A BETTER BURN. IF YOUR POT HAS AN EXTENDED HANDLE YOU CAN NOTCH THE TOP EDGE OF THE WINDSCREEN AND FOLD IT DOWN TO ACCOMMODATE THE HANDLE.STORE THE WINDSCREEN BY WRAPPING IT AROUND YOUR FUEL BOTTLE TO KEEP IT FROM GETTING CRUSHED WHEN NOT IN USE.
FILLING THE STOVE
DO NOT FILL THE STOVE ABOVE THE SCORED RING ON THE INSIDE WALL OF THE STOVE.
LOOKING INTO THE OPEN TOP OF THE STOVE YOU WILL NOTICE THE INSIDE WALL LOOKS LIKE A NECK AND SHOULDER INVERTED. THROUGH THE LARGE HOLE IN THE TOP OF THE STOVE POUR IN THE YOUR FUEL UP TO A LEVEL EQUAL TO ONE-HALF OF THE WAY UP THE NARROW PART OF THE INSIDE WALL OF THE STOVE.THIS IS USUALLY ENOUGH FUEL TO BOIL 2 OR 3 CUPS OF COLD WATER AND BURN OUT IN ABOUT 9 MINUTES. WITH A LITTLE EXPERIMENTING YOU WILL FIGURE OUT JUST HOW MUCH FUEL TO ADD TO THE STOVE TO BOIL DIFFERENT AMOUNTS OF WATER.IF YOU ARE BOILING FOUR OR SIX CUPS OF WATER THEN YOU CAN FILL THE STOVE UP TO WHERE THE INSIDE WALL STARTS TO EXPAND INTO THE SHOULDER AREA. AGAIN WITH A LITTLE EXPERIMENTING YOU CAN FIGURE OUT JUST HOW MUCH FUEL TO ADD FOR A SPECIFIC AMOUNT OF WATER. FILLING THE STOVE TO THE MAXIMUM FILL LINE WITH BOIL UP TO 10 CUPS OF WATER AND BURN FOR ABOUT 25 MINUTES.
LIGHTING THE STOVE
HAVE YOUR COOK POT READY AND FILLED WITH WATER BEFORE LIGHTING THE STOVE.
TO LIGHT THE STOVE, HOLD A MATCH OR LIGHTER DOWN INTO THE LARGE TOP HOLE OF THE STOVE. DON’T PUT YOUR FINGERS INTO THE HOLE AS YOU MAY GET BURNED.A TWIG THAT HAS BEEN DIPPED INTO THE FUEL AND LIT WITH YOUR MATCH WILL WORK REALLY GOOD TO LIGHT THE STOVE. YOU WILL HEAR A FAINT WISP OF NOISE WHEN THE ALCOHOL LIGHTS. DON’T LEAVE YOUR HAND OVER THE HOLE OR YOU MAY BE BURNED. BE CAREFUL AND DO NOT TOUCH THE STOVE AFTER LIGHTING. THE MORE FUEL YOU HAVE IN THE STOVE, THE LONGER IT TAKES FOR THE SIDE HOLE BURNERS TO LIGHT. THE FUEL NEEDS TIME TO SUPER HEAT ITSELF AND VAPORIZE TO WORK CORRECTLY.AFTER ABOUT A MINUTE YOU CAN GENTLY BLOW ACROSS THE TOP OF THE STOVE AND THAT WILL AID THE STOVE IN LIGHTING THE HOLES.WAIT A FEW SECONDS AFTER THE SIDE BURNER HOLES IGNITE THEN CENTER YOUR COOK POT DIRECTLY ON TOP OF THE STOVE.
IF IT IS COLD OUTSIDE AND YOUR COOK POT IS FULL OF COLD WATER LET THE STOVE BURN FOR ABOUT 15 TO 20 SECONDS OF EXTRA HEATING TIME BEFORE YOU PUT THE POT ON.
BECAUSE THE POT AND POT HANDLE MAY BE SUPER HOT IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU WAIT UNTIL AFTER THE STOVE BURNS COMPLETELY OUT BEFORE REMOVING THE POT.WHEN THE FLAMES BURN OUT, DO NOT TOUCH THE STOVE FOR SEVERAL MINUTES, IT WILL CONTINUE TO BE VERY HOT. HINT: IF YOU PLACE THE POT ON THE STOVE BEFORE THE BURNER HOLES ARE GOING FULL BLAST THE FLAME MAY GO OUT. IF THAT HAPPENS REMOVE THE POT AND RELIGHT.THE STOVE WILL BE EXTREMELY HOT SO BE CAREFUL NOT TO TOUCH THE STOVE.
SUGGESTIONS
THIS STOVE IS DESIGNED TO USE A WIDE DIAMETER COOKING POT.THE PRIMUS LITECH TEA KETTLE OR GSI KETTLE STYLE POTS WORK GREAT WITH THIS STOVE AND EACH HOLDS ABOUT 3 CUPS OF WATER. THE LOWER CENTER OF GRAVITY MAKES IT HARDER TO TIP THE STOVE. BECAUSE OF THE WIDE FLAME RING POTS WITH A 5” OR LARGER DIAMETER WILL WORK THE BEST. AFTER YOU ARE FINISHED COOKING YOU CAN STORE THE STOVE INSIDE THE KETTLE OR POT.
WHEN NOT IN USE YOU CAN STORE THE WINDSCREEN AND HEAT SHIELD BY WRAPPING THEM AROUND YOUR FUEL BOTTLE.
FUEL STORAGE
ALMOST ANY TYPE OF FUEL BOTTLE CAN BE USED TO STORE ALCOHOL FUEL BUT DO NOT USE ALUMINUM FUEL BOTTLES LIKE THE MSR ALUMINUM BOTTLES. ATRANGIA ALCOHOL FUEL BOTTLEWITH SAFETY POUR SYSTEM IS SIMPLE TO USE AND DESIGNED FOR LIQUID FUEL. IT COMES IN THE HALF-LITER AND FULL-LITER SIZES AND COSTS ABOUT $15. YOU CAN ALSO USE DISCARDED PLASTIC POP OR WATER TYPE BOTTLES TO STORE FUEL AS LONG AS THE LIDS SCREW ON TIGHT.
THESE STOVES ARE FOR ADULT USE ONLY. USING THIS STOVE IN AN UNSAFE OR IMPROPER MANNER CAN BE HARMFUL TO YOU AND YOUR PROPERTY.
