Monitor the stove while in use and keep cookware centered on the burner for even heat distribution.

Usage recommendations

Use with compatible threaded gas canisters specified for natural gas; avoid using damaged canisters or adapters that could cause leaks. Operate the stove outdoors or in well-ventilated areas only. For best fuel efficiency, use appropriately sized cookware that matches the burner diameter and minimize wind exposure using a suitable windscreen. Regularly inspect seals and connections and store the stove dry and clean between trips.
