I really like how simple and compact this one is. I like the tabs that put it together. Some have screws and those I’d likely drop and lose with cold fingers. It’s pricey but worth it.
Great video Lisa. Definitely important for people to know how to properly operate these portable stoves as well as set the expectations for what these kinds of setups are good (and not so good) at. I bought a similar ultralight tent/stove combo a few years ago for the exact same reasons. I did the Debsconeag loop in mid November 2020 and it was a beautiful time to be out paddling in hunter orange but every night was a bit of a test between the below freezing temps and up to 14 hours of darkness. You can only sleep so much. Also it takes much work to find good wood near campsites at the end of the season, it's a real drag to do all that work just to watch the heat go straight up to the sky in with an open fire. After that trip I decided to buy one of these setups. These stove and tipi-tents really make for a comfortable place to hang out if you have to kill a couple of hours til bed time -- they keep away from the wind and you can dry your gear out. As you mentioned in your video, they are much more thermally efficient with wood and provide a nice cooking surface if you are solo. I also use mine in the winter. I've camped in the NMW in sub-zero temps in mine -- with a sub-zero rated bag of course. If it's just a one or two night trip I'll carry a few BioBrick wood blocks with me for the last burn of the night. I think the company is based out of Epping, NH but I get them at the local Ace Hardware here in Scarborough.
Definitely agree don’t need it going all night. Even in the dead of winter I use it to get me and my sleep system warm and dry. Then if you have the proper sleep system you should be good till morning. But have kindling ready because it’s going to be cold 🥶 when you crawl out of the sleeping bag
Yes very good tip. If you’re cold and then insulate in the sleeping it’s like putting ice in a cooler. Much better get warm and dry and get in a good insulated sleep system and keep it that way. I also think there are many advantages to having half the floor be ground. Thanks for watching and sharing.
I have been “hot tent” camping for 6-7 years, if possible I would recommend carrying some small pieces of fat wood, also a good paracord line away from the stove pipe really helps dry the gear. Watch those little titanium stoves many a sleeping kit has suffered damage from them 😂!
I found these wood fuel blocks at Rural King (Wood Fuel Blocks, 20 Pack - GREN-20) and I always bring a few of them and put them in my stove before I lay down for the night. I also put in some good hardwood and I can get 5-6 hours of burn out of them - just keep that damper dialed back.
Another thing you can do is burn enough to build a bed of coals and then put a small, green, birch log on top. It will burn much longer. I have seen where Natives simply cut a black spruce and keep pushing it into the stove as it burns. The stove door remains open. The tree length fire wood leans on the floor and maybe even out the tent door. How do you like the titanium roll up chimney? Thanks for the video.
@@anonymousf454Ignore the glow. Often the stove is a home made barrel one. What is exciting is when the fire burns down the log. But a little snow stops that.
One of the best 3 minutes! Informative, educational and heart warming!!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow!!! That's the best explanation I've had on the process of using a wood stove. Thank you 😊
I also love the reading. It brings me back to earth.
You are so welcome. Thabks for sharing
I like this video. I’ve been eyeballing one of these types of hot tent stoves.

Debsconeg’s arguably the most stunning view of Katadin available. Cold effects me the older I get, can’t wait to try this setup.

Oh Lisa this one was especially wonderful, and you dear, are definitely entitled to the creature comfort of warmth at this juncture❤
Thank you so much! There is nothing like wood heat! Hope you’re doing well.
You're such a great instructor Lisa 😃
Oh thank you!

Thanks for the warning. Will do. Looking forward to the first trip with the tent and the stove! Thanks for watching.

Couple canoeists have mentioned those. I’ll check it out. Thanks for watching
We love you Lisa,
Another great and informative video. Thank you Lisa.
Glad you enjoyed it! Next week we feature the stove itself. Thanks for watching.
You're the best Lisa! Loved this!
Thanks so much!
Loved the reading at the end
Thanks. I’ve journaled my whole Guide career. It helps me process and do an honest debrief on what I can do better next time.
My favourite of your vids
That was great! Thank you for sharing 😊
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching and commenting.
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching. I’m gonna do a deep dive on the stove in the next episode!
Great quote!
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Great content! Thank you!

Best information on those stoves that I've seen yet!! Great journal entry. I know I'm grateful for every minute you share your knowledge. 🐾🙏🏻✌🏻🛶
Thanks so much for that. Next video is a detailed one on just the stove.
Awesome video thank you. Where did you get those glasses?

What do they do when the stove starts glowing like a cherry? Can't close the door with a tree sticking out

I’ve never done that. But next episode is a deep dive into just the stove. What I like and how it goes together. Thanks for sharing.
🍻
Damned good.
Thanks for watching!
