Portable stoves involve flame, high temperatures, and fuel, so safe setup matters every time you cook outdoors.
Use combustion stoves outdoors
Do not use fuel-burning camping stoves in enclosed or poorly ventilated spaces. Carbon monoxide can build up without obvious warning.
Choose a stable surface
Place the stove on a firm, level, heat-resistant surface away from dry grass, loose fabric, tents, and other combustible materials.
Use the correct fuel
Follow the manufacturer's instructions for compatible fuel and connections. Do not modify fuel systems or improvise adapters that are not intended for the product.
Allow equipment to cool
Metal parts can remain hot after the flame is off. Allow the stove to cool before packing, cleaning, or storing it.
Check local restrictions
Fire restrictions can change by location and season. Follow campsite, park, and local authority rules before using any stove or fire pit.
