Once the fire is lit, you can begin to push small kindling into the lower entrance – on initial use, burn unit for approximately 1 hour before cooking operations is performed.
For optimal performance , wood should be fed into the combustion chamber as often as possible, once a good bed of coal has been established , the fire needs less tending.
The rocket stove will burn larger pieces , but it is always preferable to use kindling
Wood should be chopped as finely as possible.
Only a small amount of wood is necessary for a hot effective fire.
Do not overload the stove !
Clean the coal and ashes out of the combustion chamber after each firing.
A build up of coal will choke the stove and will degrade the stove liner.
Do not allow the stove to become filled with coal or ashes.
If you are producing an excess amount of coal it might mean that you are feeding too much wood, too quickly, into the combustion chamber.
