How am I just now hearing of this awesome product? WOW what a lightweight!
It's a cool stove for sure. Love being able to offer these to everyone.
Congratulations- you obviously put a lot of time and effort in to developing this stove. The weight is amazingly low.
Thanks Peter. It has been a mission to get these things out there, so I appreciate the kind words. Hike safe.
So friggin awesome... it makes me rethink my cold soaking!
Unlimited fuel! Assuming of course you are in a forest of some sort :)
@@Suluk46 ... and weighting in less than my canister stoves (without the canister) ... I’m sold! BONUS... no more eco-nasty fuel canisters!
Awesome
Just a weird idea: if you add three, elongated cutouts at the very bottom of the outer shell, leaving three "legs", the construction might actually stand more securely. (For the same reason that a 3-legged table doesnt wiggle on uneven ground whereas a 4-legged one does). Maybe that would make it stand even less securely though, you'd have to test that.
Cool product though!
Thanks man. And great input. I'm always open to design iterations, so my products are always evolving.
Looks nice! Will be saving up for one..
Right on!
A built in windshield , 2/3 or 3/4 titanium tube that slides on the outside of the stove with a bottom stopper. Should greatly improve efficiency.
Very well could. You mean to be used as a windscreen?
The Una Mini has such a small burn chamber, but I love the idea of combining it with the 550 pot without handles and a DIY lid for 3.5 ounces......
What is an average boil time for 2 cups on the mini? How well does the mini stay lit? Does it fill up with ashes and coal too quickly to boil 2 cups? If it struggles to boil, maybe it is okay to just heat the water enough to rehydrate a meal? How long for that process?
Is it worth the weight to go with the bigger Una?
Wish you had one that fit the UL Toaks 750 ml pot without handles...... probable the best of both worlds.
I'm pretty interested in one of these stoves & would be curious to hear back on some of these questions. I'd have to save up, but there isn't anything even close to this available anywhere else. Thanks in advance Steve!
The mini does have a small burn chamber, you are sacrificing performance in exchange for lower weight and smaller size. It really is for the gram weenies out there (like me) who don't mind the minor nuisance. It would be impossible to predict how it is going to perform given the abundance of external factors, but it does work well and bringing 2 cups of water to a boil with minimal feeding is simple enough, if I had to guess for sure less than 10 minutes, but not less than 5 minutes. I've always been of the opinion that you bring a wood stove when you are focused on fuel weight savings, not necessarily speed of boil, only because there are faster options out there. The mini version isn't suited for long cooking tasks outside of boiling water, because like you mentioned, the firebox will fill with ashes faster due to the small size. Not saying it can't be done, but it certainly won't be the best option. I have another video of it in action on a hike I did last year at the Eastern Pines Trail in Algonquin. I'd have to go back and look, but those are real world conditions so may give you a better idea. Let me know if you have any other questions.

@@Suluk46 Thank Steve!
3:53 your phone got blown by the wind😆 i know it hapends to me too 😁 therefore i have a heavy duty caseing
Lol, you caught that eh? User error 😂
How thick is the outter wall of the stove? Will it dent easily if not transported inside a pot?
The outer wall is made of titanium, but is as thick as a piece of paper. You will need to transport it inside a container (usually a pot) or it will likely get damaged.
An alcohol burner will also work if twigs are too drenched to be burned due to snow and rain. :)
Good point. Alcohol and esbit are also an option. Thanks!
@@Suluk46 You are so very welcome! :)
What pots in your experience nest the best with each of the stoves?
The Una Mini version is designed to fit in the Toaks 550ml pot or similar where as the Una Standard one fits well with the tall 900ml version. The dimensions are on the website so any pot that fits it will work.
Can we get a video of all 3 sizes of these stoves side by side 550-750-900 I’m stuck on which one to get to be ultra lite really want 550 but might be too small and since the 900 is close to my solo lite so I don’t want to buy a similar size. I want to use this one as my new go to so it would be highly appreciated. Ps which 2 sizes are in the video right now
I make these to order so I'll have to wait until all 3 are built at the same time. In this video, it is the 550 and the 900. I think I hadn't released the 750 at the time of filming. The 750 is definitely the sweet spot, with the 550 being quite small and the 900 being standard size that everyone sort of makes.
@@Suluk46 I appreciate your company and this direct response in under 24 hours m definitely probably set on the 750 I’ll be ordering one soon thank you so much I can’t wait to be full titanium instead of steel now
Any chance you might start selling these on Garage Grown Gear with your other stuff? I want to pick one up, but $65 for shipping is a lot of tent stakes.
Unfortunately I can't offer these eight now because of the wait times. Shipping overseas with tracking and insurance just costs so much, I understand the hesitation.
@@Suluk46 thanks for getting back to me. I'm in the US, so I was figuring International was implemented from Canada, but I just saw the estimated calculation of $22. I can live with that! Now I can’t decide between the original and the mini. Might have to go with the mini just to compensate for my full size toothbrush 😂
Haha. The mini is certainly a sacrifice in performance to shave weight. It's smaller so the burn takes longer and can fill with ash quicker. The standard size is ideal if you boil more than 2 cups of water at a time. Both work well and are super light, so you can't lose either way!
@@Suluk46 good to know about the ash. Thanks for the info!
Does the base stay cool like a Bush Buddy?
Not quite as cool as the bushbuddy. But not red hot.
Why wouldn't you fill it with fuel THEN add the potstand? You are fiddling with the twigs to get around the postand. Seems kind of silly. FILL, ATTACH. LIGHT.
Feel free to do whatever works for you, I don't even include instructions with it so there is no wrong way. lol. Thanks man, hope you enjoyed the video.
They’re right thought. A gasifier stove works as a TLUD
Is it possible to put una stovemini in toaks550?
Yes, I designed it specifically to fit perfectly inside a toaks 550.
Does this nest inside a Toaks 750 or 1100 pot?
The Toaks pots come in various dimensions with the same capacity. Best thing to do is check the dimensions of the stoves on my website and compare them to your actual pot. Generally, the 750 is the same diameter as the 550 so the mini will fit no problem, but not the larger size. The 1100 is often very wide and shallow with another version being the taller style.
Needs better promotion, who wouldn't want titanium ?
You know it. Everyone loves titanium, right?!?!
high park?
you should send one to Kit Badger or some other reviewers on UA-cam!
Close...Old Mill.
@@Suluk46 Let me help you get the word out on this fabulous stove ! Let me know, This should be a huge plus for people that appreciate low pack weight ! Cheers
