@TrackerScout4 жыл бұрын
I figured out simple solution for handle and door. somewhat. Handle is easy, squeeze in to take off, then bend by hand or with pliers both ends outwards, put back in, creates so much friction that handles will stay where you place them, makes it easy to keep out of the way, and also easier to pack. But more importantly, easier to keep higher then the door so that you can open door when you want. Looseness of the door can also be fixed by wrapping snare wire or other bendable wire around outside of bolt coming off the ring, creates friction and tightness, just don't wrap too much or ring will not go down.

They should have kept handles out of the way of door. Do what everyone else does expecially if it is hot. Use a stick to put through ring, possibly long enough so one end can sit on ground, , the other options, pliers, leather gloves, or mits. Could also attach a hook wrapped around wire to make a handle off the ring like.

Right I've just received mine and because of the steel grate at the bottom has too many holes it burns to fast and can't keep hot coals. So I've cut a piece of stainless sheet and drilled a few holes in it... Result longer burn time. Can burn wood pellets. Keeps the hot coals. Longer grilling time.. I suppose you can use any bit of metal plate but stainless will last longer.. Now it's a decent stove 👍🏼

It would be ok for a short term fire to keep warm but you need it to be burning with a lot of flame which burns wood much quicker than an on ground fire and doesn't really build up good hot coals like you would get if you were burning thicker logs.
