CAUTION
: On first use please have adequate ventilation - the paint will bake
and will give off smoke and fumes for first hour or two, avoid breathing these
fumes.
We recommend lighting fire during the day when you are able to open all
windows and you can be out of the fume range.
•
Your new burner is manufactured from heavy gauge mild steel with the vents made
from stainless steel. The paint used on the main stove body is Heat Resistant Matt
Black which should be available from your local hardware store if required for touch-
ups. The roof cowl and flue is all stainless steel and will provide years of trouble free
operation.
•
It is normal to experience some paint smell the first few times the burner is used but
this will disappear, you may prefer to provide extra ventilation until this goes away.
•
Your multi fuel burner is designed to burn either wood or coal and will provide
excellent heating with either fuel. If you have a Woody then this is a wood only fire.
•
N.B.
This unit is NOT Clean Air Approved – As it is designed for use in a mobile
situation it is not subject to the regulations covering domestic fires in a fixed location.
If used in accordance with our instructions it will cause minimal pollution.
(Also the fire must be able to be fully shut off to prevent a blast furnace effect
should fuel be left in the fire while moving)
Cooking

The top of your burner makes an ideal cook top for boiling the kettle or with
appropriately sized saucepans for more elaborate food cooking / heating.
