LARS FÄLT!

!

The Fältovn is my modest
tribute to Lars Fält. A
legendary outdoors man and
great tutor of many.!

BART LEENDERS!

!

Thank you for choosing the
Fältovn. I know it will provide
you with great opportunities to
enjoy the outdoors. In its
presence you’ll soon discover
there is no such thing as bad
weather. You will even wish for
it to rain.!

"

WARNING!

!

The Fältovn is intended for those who do not mind to get their
hands all sooty, know how to use an axe and leave no trace
when camping. If it is hard for you to understand that a fire is hot
and green wood does not burn, you might need more tutoring. !
Or maybe the Fältovn is just not the right product for you.!
The Fältovn is only for outdoor use.!

FIRST FIRE!

!

Your Fältovn needs you to take good care of the first fire. This
first fire settles all parts and cleans production lubricants. The
smelly odor during the first fire needs good ventilation. !
Use a handful of kindling and enough fuel (approx. 2kg of wrist
thick dry and split wood) to build the first fire.!
Make sure not to put anything on or against the Fältovn during
the process. The heat resistant paint will cure and gets a bit soft.

FUEL!

!

The Fältovn burns best on#dry
wood#and dry wood only. Wet fuel will
cause smoke and lots of it. Enough to give
away your presence or disturb other campers.
Dry wood burns best when split. Keep your wrist
size as a maximum thickness.!
You’ll find dry wood as dead standing trees or dead branches still
up in the trees. Dead wood on the forest floor is often damp. Use
a saw to cut dead branches from living trees.!
The best fire occurs when embers have built.!

!

TIP; before refilling your Fältovn, try to rake up the embers in the
back of the stove. Often new flames will appear and refilling can
be postponed.!
