Trek 500, Separate Gas Bottle Backpacking Stove with Piezo

This stove meets standard EN521. This stove is for exclusive use with the 3.5 oz, 8.1 oz, and 15.9 oz Decathlon - Forclaz butane/propane cartridges. Decathlon cartridges comply with standard EN417 and are compatible with the Decathlon - Forclaz Trek 500 Light and Trek 500 Remote stoves. Read the instructions and precautions for use attached to the stove.

To set up a gas cartridge, always do so in a ventilated place, preferably outdoors and never near a flame, heat source, spark, individuals, or flammable materials. Check that your stove's gas inlet is properly closed and check the location and condition of the leak-proof seal. Make sure that the cartridge is on a stable flat surface. Do not shake.

Hold the device and screw in the cartridge by hand by turning it clockwise until it stops, being careful not to damage the screw thread. Follow the same instructions to take off the cartridge. It can be dangerous to use cartridges other than Decathlon - Forclaz. It's normal to hear a small fizzing sound (escaping gas) for less than 2 seconds when connecting the cartridge to the stove.

Stove weight: 6 oz Bag weight: 0.5 oz Dimensions: Ø 7.1" x H 4.3". Folded size: L 4.3" x H 4.3". The weight, volumes, and sizes can vary slightly due to production tolerances.

Pot stand on 3 legs, perfectly adapted to Forclaz Trek 500 stainless steel pans (Ø 5.3"). Flexible metal hose 12.2" long for easy remote positioning of the cartridge and simple ignition. Installation: Place the stove on a flat, unobstructed surface. Screw the end of the cable onto the cartridge and install it connected away from the stove. Open the flow control valve and operate the piezo (several times if necessary). Your stove is lit.

Our internal tests give us values that reflect the actual conditions of use. In fact, we tested our stoves with Trek 500 stainless steel pans, filled with a liter of water. Score: heating time to boil 1 liter of water: 3 mins 23. Real power: 2500 watts. Real consumption: 6.4 oz/hour. The results and performance of different stoves must be analyzed in a comparable way (same conditions and parameters).

The heating time of a stove is subject to a mandatory standardized process for EU certification but does not necessarily reflect the actual conditions of use. Standard EN521 parameters (heating rate): Propane gas at 3 bar pressure, without container. Results: 4.1 kW/10.3 oz/hour

Many parameters affect the capacity and performance of your stove: atmospheric pressure, wind, damp, etc. These can change the boiling temperature and the heating time as well as the number of liters heated with 1 cartridge. We strongly recommend using a windshield to optimize gas consumption. The performance of a stove is therefore assessed according to the gas consumed / heating speed.

Our teams care about the environment, so this product has been subject to an eco-design approach that consists of removing surface treatments that only have an aesthetic function. As such, we have removed the paints and anodizing on all the parts (feet and pan support, burner, gas flow control, etc.) of this stove, while still ensuring its performance, technical features, and durability.

These factors help to limit the environmental impact of your product.
