Fueling & Firestarting
The BaseCamp is a fun and efficient way to cook with wood. Our unique technology allows you to use less
wood while still maintaining a strong fire. Like any fire, a good fuel source is the key to starting it correctly.
1. Dry hardwoods are ideal fuel sources. Do not use green wood as it will cause excessive smoking.
2. When beginning your fire, start with small twigs to avoid excessive smoke.
3. The BaseCamp Stove can accommodate three ideal sizes of wood based on the strength of the
fire - Firelighting, Building Up, and Strong and Ongoing (opposite page).
4. Arrange sticks in a varied manner that allow for airflow (fig. 1a).
5. To keep the fire going, push sticks inward towards the mouth of the stove every 5-10 minutes.
Exercise caution when near the mouth of the stove as contents will be hot.
6. Note that BioLite BaseCamp's technology creates a very efficient fire. You do NOT need a huge
flame coming out from the top. The temperature dashboard located on the orange powerpack
will provide feedback on how hot your fire is for ideal cooking and charging.
7. Over the course of your fire, ash will begin to collect in the mouth of the stove. Using a fireproof
trowel or scoop, remove ash every 20-45 minutes to maintain airflow – this will keep the heat
of your fire consistent and allow you to refuel more easily.
