Using this Toaks titanium siphon alcohol stove is easy. First, make sure the stove is on a flat and stable surface. Pour the alcohol into the stove up to its 2.7 - ounce (80g) capacity. Light the alcohol carefully. It's important to keep in mind that the room temperature can affect its performance. As shown in the test, at 75ºF, it has certain burn and boil times. When you're done using it, let it cool down completely before handling. For maintenance, clean the stove regularly with a soft cloth to keep it in good condition. Remember, the wire frame is an option you can add if you want. And don't forget that the pot, spoon, and windscreen need to be bought separately.
