* Never runs out of fuel. Three days hike from civilization you run out of propane, what are you going to do? Drill a hole in the ground and hope to strike gas? With TrailStove this is not a problem, just pick up another stick of wood to burn.

* Rugged and dependable. Drop a propane stove on the ground, valve gets bent and you can't get your stove started. What are you going to do? TrailStove's design and construction allows it to operate at full capacity even after very serious physical abuse.

* Use as fire starter. Campfire hard to start? Use a burning piece of wood from the TrailStove to get things started.

* Fuel compatibility. Different fuel types and different fuel container size standards will turn your propane stove useless when you go out of the country. Regulations prohibit carrying propane with you on the plane.

* TrailStove burns any kind of wood anywhere. There's no country on earth where TrailStove cannot easily be used.

* Safety. Conventional camp stoves run on toxic and explosive fuels. A fuel leak could not only ruin your trip but end your life. TrailStove uses no toxic or explosive chemicals, just wood.

Instructions for Use:

1. Place the stove on even ground with the large exhaust hole on the side of the body facing away from the wind so that smoke will not go into the food to be cooked. Make sure there is nothing combustible nearby such as dry grass, wood, leaves, clothes etc.

2. Fill the combustion chamber approximately half-full with lightly packed wood. If the combustion chamber is completely full the performance will be poor. Place some easily combustible material under the combustion chamber such as a crumbled up piece of paper or some dry grass. Insert the blow-tube into the hole on the side of the stove.

3. Ignite the material under the stove. In a few minutes there will be a steady fire burning in the combustion chamber. The process can be sped up by blowing gently into the blow-tube. If the wood in the chamber is wet it will take a few minutes more before a steady fire is reached.

4. Once the fire is steady, blow air through the blow-tube to increase the intensity of the fire.

5. Once the fire has reached a high intensity it can sustain itself with the top covered. This means that the stove is ready for being cooked on. Place your pot on top of the stove and start cooking.
