J. Falk's Compact Wood Stove Assembly & Storage www.TrailGear.org   |   ASSEMBLY   |   STORAGE   |   Watch our Assembly Video ASSEMBLY: Back 1) Remove the stove from the Mug/Cooking Pot and Storage Bag. 2) Pull the 2 nested pieces apart and remove all stored items (stoking tube, pot stand extender, alcohol stove) from inside the stove. 3) Flip the bottom part of the stove over, so the locking screws face up. 4) Place the top half over the adjustable screws in the base, align the "V" exhaust hole with the seam in the bottom can. 5) Press down until both cans meet. The fit should be snug, if it's not then adjust the locking screws up or down to optain a snug fit. 6) Start your fire and start to cook. TIP: If you're using the stove in wet, snowy or damp conditions, lay the supplied lid on the ground. Place the assembled stove over the lid then start your fire in the stove. Not only will the lid minimize ground scarring but it will also act as a vapor barrier for the fire. STORAGE: Back 1) Pull the stove apart. 2) Flip the bottom can over so the locking screws are face down. 3) Drop in the supplied lid so it rests on the tips of the screws creating a bottom. 4) Slide the top part of the stove into the base can. 5) Place your pot stand extender, alcohol stove, fuel bottle and stoking tube into the stove for storage. 6) Place your stove in a small 4" x 9" nylon bag and slide it into the Mug/Cooking Pot and secure with large rubber bands. Now you have a complete compact backpacking cooking system.
