Frequently Asked Questions

What fuel can I use in wood burning stoves? Wood burning stoves burn dry twigs, small branches, pine cones, bark, leaves, and paper. Use dead, dry wood for best performance. Avoid treated wood, plastic, or toxic materials that produce harmful fumes.

Are wood burning stoves better than gas stoves? Wood stoves use free natural fuel, work in any weather, and provide authentic outdoor experience. Gas stoves offer convenience and precise heat control but require fuel canisters and work poorly in extreme cold.

How do I start a fire in a wood burning stove? Start with tinder (dry grass, birch bark, paper), add kindling (pencil-thick twigs), then gradually add larger fuel. Ensure good airflow through the stove's air vents for efficient burning.

Can wood burning stoves be used in fire ban areas? Check local regulations as rules vary. Some areas allow contained wood burning stoves during fire bans while prohibiting open fires. Always follow local fire restrictions and land management rules.

How much wood do I need for cooking? A handful of dry twigs typically boils 500ml water. Collect 2-3 times more fuel than you think you need. Dry, resinous wood burns hotter and longer than green or wet wood.

Are wood burning stoves safe to use? Wood stoves are safe when used properly. Use on stable, non-flammable surfaces, maintain clearance from flammable materials, never leave unattended, and fully extinguish after use. Carry water for fire suppression.

What size wood burning stove do I need? Small stoves work for 1-2 people and small pots. Medium stoves suit 2-4 people and larger cookware. Large wood burners handle group cooking and multiple pots but weigh more for transport.

How do I maintain wood burning stoves? Clean ash after use, check for damage or warping, oil steel components to prevent rust, and store in dry conditions. Folding stoves need occasional hinge lubrication for smooth operation.
