Frequently asked questions
Can any pot go on any stove?
No. Follow the stove limits for pot dimensions and weight, and the pot manufacturer guidance. An oversized or unstable pot may tip or reflect heat in an unsuitable way.
What else do I need?
Depending on the stove, suitable fuel, possibly an ignition source and appropriate cookware. Check the package contents: pictures may show accessories sold separately.
Can I cook inside my tent?
Follow the manufacturer safety instructions. Combustion stoves do not belong in enclosed spaces or an inner tent because of fire and poisoning risks. Plan a suitable safe cooking spot.
How should I clean coated pots?
Use the method recommended by the manufacturer and avoid abrasive tools. A bag or soft separator can protect the coating during transport.
