FAQs
For BondStove Mini
1. Is the BondStove Mini just a smaller version of the BondStove?
The BondStove Mini is designed for users who value portability, convenience, and multifunctionality. It’s not just a scaled-down version of the BondStove. The BondStove Mini is compact, offers more features, and has become incredibly popular.
2. What fuel should I prepare before using the BondStove Mini?
The concept behind the BondStove Mini is "more than mini." It can use firewood smaller than 7 inches, pellets, charcoal, or even alcohol. Achieving a beautiful flame is that simple.
3. On what surfaces can the BondStove Mini be used?
Thanks to its excellent triple-layer insulation design, the bottom temperature remains below 190℉ during use. This allows it to be safely placed on most surfaces, such as metal, glass, and wooden tabletops. Ensure the surface is stable before use. Avoid using on heat-sensitive materials and never place the BondStove Mini on or near flammable surfaces, even when cooling.
4. What type of fuel creates a beautiful secondary combustion flame?
Secondary combustion flames are not only beautiful but also indicate that the smoke is being fully combusted. We recommend using dry firewood or pellets smaller than 7 inches. Do not add fuel above the top row of holes inside the stove.
5. When should I add fuel?
If you are using firewood or pellets, add more fuel when the flames begin to weaken. Avoid adding fuel when the fire is nearly or completely out, as insufficient oxygen will cause the fire to extinguish. If using an Alcohol Burner, always use the Snuffer Lid to extinguish the flame completely before adding more alcohol.
6. Will the surface of my BondStove Mini fade over time?
The BondStove Mini series features a nano-ceramic coating, and following our usage guidelines will prevent patina over time. Occasionally, smoke or dirt may appear, which can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. Each BondStove Mini comes with a Shield and Grill Rack, which may develop a patina over time.
7. Are there any protective tools to prevent burns while the stove is in use?
There are no burn protection tools. The BondStove Mini gets very hot during use, so never touch it while it's burning. Always ensure someone is supervising when it is in use.
8. Why doesn’t the BondStove Mini come with a stand?
The BondStove Mini incorporates a triple-layer insulation design, keeping the bottom temperature below 190℉ during use. This allows safe placement on most outdoor surfaces. We exercise restraint regarding accessories, striving to alleviate your unnecessary burden in every possible way.
9. Can it be used in windy conditions?
No, for your safety, do not use the BondStove Mini in windy, rainy, or other adverse weather conditions. Also, avoid using it in enclosed spaces.
10. Is there a recommended table size and usage distance?
The BondStove Mini is compact and fits on almost any table. We recommend keeping a minimum distance of 2 feet from the fire pit’s exterior and always avoid direct contact with any part of the burning stove, as it gets extremely hot.
11. Can I use it under a canopy, patio umbrella, or gazebo?
Yes, you can use our specially designed Alcohol Burner with alcohol fuel. Do not burn firewood, pellets, or charcoal. Ensure there is enough clearance between the flame and the ceiling, at least 4 feet.
12. What is the fuel capacity of the BondStove Mini?
The BondStove Mini can hold up to 2.2 lbs (1000g) of pellets. The Alcohol Burner can hold up to 5.8 oz (172ml) of alcohol, providing up to 50 minutes of continuous burn time.
