Propane Cooking Stove

To start, turn on valve, hold the lighter stick to the burner and flick the stick as all you need is a spark or flame to start it.  Repeat spark until it lights.  It takes time for the gas to get through the lines to the stove.

Propane Light

Push in and move light lever on, located on side of light before lighting.

Hold the lighter stick near glass but, do not touch the mantel inside the glass as it is ash and will break instantly.  Flick the lighter stick until the light burns. Repeat spark until it lights. It takes time for the gas to get through the lines to the light.

Propane Heater – Spring, Fall and Winter Use

TURN DOWN to 50^OF when you leave for day trips.       

TURN OFF thermostat when departing from your stay.

The heater unit gets extremely hot.  Do not place anything near or on the heater. It will burn. The heat is controlled by moving the thermostat controls on the kitchen wall. It takes about 20 mins. to heat the yurt in cold weather.  If the pilot light goes out, follow the directions located on the heater to relight it using the spark button.

Tub #1 – Soapy wash water for washing dishes
