Using this Toaks Titanium Wood Burning Stove is a breeze. First, unpack the three parts from the nylon stuff sack and assemble them. You can easily find dry wood outdoors as fuel. Simply place the wood inside the stove and light it. The high - efficiency combustion mechanism will make sure the fire burns well. When you're done cooking, let the stove cool down completely before packing it up. To maintain it, clean any ash or debris after each use. Make sure to keep it dry to prevent rust. Also, when packing it with the TOAKS pots, be gentle to avoid any scratches on the stove or the pots.
