    dip your bolts in milk of magnesia. I am a Navy Jet Engine mechanic veteran . 1983-1987. That is what we use on the A6 bombers after burners. Milk of Magnesia becomes a powder under high heat. It will not let the nut and bolt seal tight. I use this trick on my headers, exhaust and head bolts

    We have the Winnerwell Nomad View Large and love it. The build quality is worth the price. The fact you can put standard (14") sized wood pieces in it is a very important - you don't have to saw logs smaller to make them fit as you do with tiny stoves. And the Winnerwell doesn't have to be fed wood as often at night.
    Keep up the great videos!

    I've had a winnerwell nomad large for a few years now, and I believe whoever welded that was on their first day on the job. I contacted them for a pair fractured welds on the draft door the day I opened the box and they decided not to honor the warranty because the draft door hadn't actually fallen off yet. But it wobbled plenty and didn't really seal up at well. I spent an extra hundred on my own to get these issues resolved because I didn't want the door to be an issue in the middle of a camping trip. I'm not saying the Temu is better (I don't own one), but I wouldn't assume that price is an indicator of quality.

    I have a stove purchased on ebay that was about $180.00 . I had been looking at Winnerwell but the price was more than I could afford. I compared size vs weight and selected one that was the same in stainless steel and added a basketweave cabinet knob on the door. It is for car or sled camping because it is heavy. For backpacking, I purchased a titanium used unit from Amazon. It works well for less than half the Winnerwell, even though I had to add my own screen to the stove pipe.

    Just thinking - If I am taking a stove camping (I have the OneTigres), what would be the pros & cons of simply sitting the stove on fire-bricks and not using the legs? Would that add additional heat?

    • @theoutdoorempire
      @theoutdoorempire  10 місяців тому

      Good question. I don't think it would ad heat, but it would possible lower the frost ring or keep it warmer near the ground where you're sleeping. Not sure how big a difference it would really make, might need to test it.

    Would putting sand on the inside bottom be beneficial?
    How about a gasket for the door?
    Is two 90⁰ pipes too much for venting the smoke properly?
    Sorry for all the questions. 😆
    Thanks for your video.

    • @theoutdoorempire
      @theoutdoorempire  28 днів тому

      I don't know about sand. Never thought about it. Seems like it'd get messy. I don't think a gasket would provide any real benefit for a tent stove. I've never tried two 90 pipes, but I think that might be a problem. Might get some backflow of smoke and a bunch of creosote build up. I frequently use two 45 degree pipe fittings and that works great. You can still shoot the flue out the side of your tent and get the chimney vertical. The pipe exits at a 45 angle. I've also seen guys use a single 90 pipe on the exterior of the tent for stoves with the flue exiting straight out the back of the stove. But I think the two 45s is the way to go.

    • @theoutdoorempire
      @theoutdoorempire  10 місяців тому

      Ya if you wanted to upgrade the chimney that probably costs a bit. A rain cap/spark arrestor and gloves are pretty negligible. There are some in the middle, but I don't have much experience with them. I've heard good things about Pomoly stoves in general.

  • @merpius

    Will the winnerwell last 3 times as long? Since you estimated that the temu is about 60% as capable, so capability-corrected the winnerwell costs $300; still about 3x the price.

I have had a a couple different backpacking titanium fold up stoves but both use the roll up chimney design and just purchased a springbar classic jack 140 and won’t be able to use those backpacking stoves in it. So I was wondering what model winnerwell do you prefer? The woodlander or the nomad? I want to go with a large stove to fit full length pieces of firewood. Thanks

  • @WayneRogersOutdoors
    @WayneRogersOutdoors 4 місяці тому

    I would only ever use a tent-stove for inside cooking if weather is really bad anyway so I think a cheaper option may be ok as I would only be using it for a maximum of half an hour per use anyhow. I don't use heat at night because my sleep system is sufficient to allow me to not have to feed a small stove all night so that I actually get a good night's sleep.

    Value all day on this. The function is not 60% because the heat transfer is the same 100% . It's 60% the size the function is the same in cooking since the food will be on the stove. the only advantage the larger stove has is volume witch gives it a larger radius of heating.
