2 Fueling & Firestarting Firestarting Smaller sized sticks and kindling are ideal ways to get the fire initially lit. Starting with large sticks will result in a lot of smoke and may not effectively start the fire. Solid Firestarters are included in your box and can create a more dependable fire. Do not use liquid accelerant to start your fire. Tip: Smaller sized fuel is ideal for grilling. The BaseCamp is a fun and efficient way to cook with wood.
3 Cooking 1. Allow at least ten minutes of flame for your grill to heat up before cooking. 2. Tip: Keep a continuous feed of fuel into the mouth of the stove at varying lengths to ensure a steady fire. 3. The BaseCamp has two key temperature zones. The “HIGH” temperature radiates outward from the middle of the stove and the “MEDIUM” temperature is on the outer perimeter (fig. 1). 4.
4 Dashboard & Charging • Approximately 10 minutes into a strong fire, the LED indicators will illuminate. You may now begin charging your USB devices at any time provided a minimum of two battery level indicators are lit (fig. 2). • The BioLite BaseCamp comes with a revolutionary orange powerpack located on the side of the stove body. This is where heat is converted into usable electricity and where an internal fan blows air back into the burn chamber for a more efficient fire.
5 TipsRun & Troubleshooting 2 Shutdown & Cleaning SHUTDOWN 1. Wait until surface is completely cooled down, approximately 15-20 minutes after the fire has been extinguished. 2.
