What is the Thermal Trip mechanism in the WindBurner Stove?

The WindBurner® stove is designed with an internal Thermal Trip mechanism,which will shut the stove off if it becomes overheated. Overheating may result from the use of non-WindBurner cookware, storage above 120°F (49°C), damage to the burner unit, or improper lighting. To avoid overheating, turn off the stove once your water is boiling and NEVER operate the stove on dry cookware. 

The Thermal Trip mechanism can only be reset after the stove has cooled for 5 minutes. Note that repeated tripping of the stove may indicate damage to internal components which may cause fuel to leak and cause fire, burns, severe injury or death. If the stove’s Thermal Trip continues to activate, discontinue use of the stove and contact our Warranty and Repair department.
