Leveraging Your Solo Stove: Lighting and Maintaining a Fire

Preparation is key to enjoying your Solo Stove to its fullest potential.

Firstly, choose your fuel wisely. Solo Stoves are designed to use a variety of fuels, but the best results come from clean, dry hardwood. Avoid softwoods, pine, and wet or treated woods, which can create excess smoke or emit harmful chemicals.

Choosing the Right Fuel

To start a fire, create a small teepee-shaped pyramid of your chosen fuel in the center of the stove. Light the bottom of the pyramid, and as the flames grow, begin to add smaller pieces of wood around the initial structure, maintaining the teepee shape.
