Frequently Asked Questions - fb1 Petromax

How to assemble the Petromax Pocket Fire Pit?

Place the base plate on a flat surface. Install one side plate vertically, then the back plate, then the second side plate. Slide the fire tray with the higher edge toward the back plate. Finally, put the grill lid with the folded edge facing forward.

What types of fuel can I use?

Use only branches, bark, and wood found on the ground, or commercial fire starters like the Petromax Fire Kit. Never use gasoline, turpentine, or alcohol.

Can I use the Pocket Fire Pit indoors?

No, the Pocket Fire Pit must be used only outdoors. Using it in an enclosed space poses a fire and suffocation risk.

How to clean the Pocket Fire Pit after use?

Let it cool completely, then remove ashes. Clean with a cloth or sponge and an eco-friendly cleaner. If cleaning outdoors, dispose of dishwater away from water sources.

How to store the Pocket Fire Pit in its bag?

What if the parts become deformed?

Parts may slightly deform after prolonged use or temperature changes. They will regain shape when cooling. If necessary, apply light hand pressure to the cooled parts to straighten them.

Can I use the Pocket Fire Pit as an oven?

Yes, with the optional Oven Hooks, you can raise the fire tray to create a baking space for bread between the base plate and the fire tray.

Important instructions

Please read and follow this user manual with safety instructions carefully before using your Petromax Pocket Stove for the first time and keep it safe for future reference. If the Petromax Pocket Stove is used by other people, they must also be given this user manual.

Product description

The six-part Petromax Pocket Stove is made of stainless steel and is easy to assemble in a few steps. The precise cuts in the material prevent the individual parts of the Pocket Stove from becoming distorted even under high temperatures so that after use the Pocket Stove can be packed into its robust transport pouch. The Pocket Stove can be used as an environmentally friendly fireplace and is perfectly suitable for grilling, cooking and baking.

Safety instructions

• Only use the Pocket Stove outdoors. Do not use indoors. Fire hazard and danger of suffocation!
• Comply with fire safety regulations.
• Show consideration to the plant and animal life and to nature reserves when you start a fire outdoors. Keep a minimum distance of 50 m to forests and areas of dense vegetation.
• Keep a minimum distance of 1.5 m to flammable materials such as leaves or dry grass when using the Petromax Pocket Stove.
• Do not use the Petromax Pocket Stove on a table.
• Place the Pocket Stove on an even, steady and fireproof surface before starting the fire.
• Only use twigs, bark and wood already fallen from trees, or products intended for this purpose (e.g. Petromax Fire Kit) to start the fire. Show consideration for the plant and animal life by leaving living trees and plants untouched.
• If you use commercially available fuel, such as the Petromax Fire Kit, please follow the instructions on the packaging of the product you have purchased.

• Never use fluids such as petrol, turpentine or methylated spirit to start or restart the fire. Such substances can explode and are partly toxic and harmful to the environment.

• Never pour flammable fluids into the Pocket Stove.

• Never leave the Pocket Stove unattended while it is in use. Watch closely over children and animals close to the Pocket Stove.
• Do not move the Pocket Stove when it is in use or hot.

Parts description and scope of delivery

3. 2 x Side panel
4. 1 x Back panel

Assembly

Attention: Remove the grey protective film from all parts before assembling the Pocket Stove!

1. Place the bottom tray (2) on a level surface.
2. Place one of the side panels (3) vertically onto the bottom tray (2) and add the back panel (4). Then, add the second side panel (3).
3. Now shove the fire tray (1) into the bottom tray (2) with the higher edge against the back panel.
4. Add the grilling grate (5) with the bent edge in the front. The Petromax Pocket Stove is now ready for use.

It is easier to light a fire without the grilling grate (5). Add the grilling grate only when the fire has reached the desired size and heat. Be careful when adding the grilling grate when the fire is already burning! We recommend fire- and heat-resistant Petromax Aramid Pro 300 gloves.

Stowage inside transport pouch

1. Place the bottom tray (2) on a steady surface. Add the two side panels (3) then the back panel (4) inside the bottom tray (2).
2. The fire tray (1) must now be placed on the back panel (4) with the lower edge facing the front.
3. Put the grilling grate (5) on top of the rest with the bent edge facing the front. The folded Pocket Stove can now be stowed in the transport pouch.

You can stow small accessories such as the Petromax Fire Kit space savingly into the packed Petromax Pocket Stove.

Tips and instructions for use

• With the Oven Brackets available as accessories (see page 14), the Petromax Pocket Stove even enables baking: The Oven Brackets raise the fire tray of the Pocket Stove so that rolls and bread can then be baked between the bottom tray and the fire tray.
• To fan the fire, blow steadily on the embers. Do not blow too strongly to avoid flying sparks. As an alternative you can also turn the Pocket Stove to face against wind direction and the fire is then fanned by the wind. Caution! Flying sparks!
• With the Feet for Pocket Stove which are available as accessories, you can optimise the air supply for the fire. As soon as the Pocket Stove is raised, the fire burns even better thanks to the additional air passing through the fine gaps in the bottom tray and the fire tray.
• Make sure the Pocket Stove stands straight and the cookware cannot slip down.

Cleaning and care

• You can extinguish the fire in the Pocket Stove with water or let it burn down. Do not remove the ashes before they have cooled down completely. Dispose of the ashes properly.
• The material of the Pocket Stove will turn brown after use. This does not reduce the functionality and efficiency of the Pocket Stove. If you want to clean your Pocket Stove wash it with a soft cloth or sponge and environmentally friendly cleaner. If you clean the Pocket Stove outdoors, only dispose of the rinse water away from open waters. Show consideration to water protection areas and nature reserves!
• After several hours use or quick changes in temperature, the parts of the Pocket Stove can become slightly distorted. These parts will regain their original form again as soon as they have cooled down completely. If necessary, you can gently press upon the relevant parts with your hand to regain the right form, after they have cooled down.

Warranty

In the case of proper use, a warranty period of two years will apply to your Petromax Pocket Stove from the date of purchase. This does not cover wear parts. If you cannot assemble the Petromax Pocket Stove properly due to a defect in material or manufacturing, you are entitled to a warranty repair. Contact your retailer for that purpose.
