Last week I finally got a chance to play with the Volcano when camping at Shellmound on Nickajack Lake. Yeah, right, try it at the Cherry Blossom Rally ~ what was I thinking?
Here's what you get in the box: The stove itself, a propane burner with hose, regulator, and attachments (if you ordered it), a small grate, and larger grate, and a heat diffuser that fits over the propane burner when used. The grates and difuser are heavy-duty weighing as much as the stove itself. All fits nicely into the zippered balistic nylon storage bag.
When lifted by the bail handle, the stove opens easily and the legs extend. The top of the stove is 12.5 inches in diameter. You can compare the size against a fairly standard camp fire ring.
I set up to cook with a charcoal fire. The small grate fits into the bottom of the stove and the large fits on top to act as your grill or cooking surface. I used a charcoal chiminey starter to make coals than placed the appropriate on the lower grate. There is a vent at the base that can be adjusted for more or less air flow.
Stay tuned . . . .
