- What better way to test a portable backpacking wood-burning stove than to set up a lean-to in the rain and cook up some soup? :)

Great review, quite informative, thanks!
Thank you! I may have to do a comparison video sometime between my alcohol, isobutane, propane and wood stoves. :)
Nice review and video. Thank you for sharing. Wishing you a fantastic day and week. Take care 👍
Thank you 👍
Enjoy your vids...your response to your comment about.. why not just start a fire.. shows me you really think things through. To me there is nothing like a fire at camp and I have found I bring a box stove for all the same reasons you mentioned in your comments...Hope you get out and enjoy the woods often and show us what your learning!😊
Thanks WaterDog. :)
Looks like a nice little stove. Easy to pack and light weight. Thanks for the video.
Thanks. I'm planning on doing a snow camp out in January or February and will definitely bring it.
Great review bud, shots are great!!!
Thanks!
Looks like a pretty nice stove.. Thanks for the video brother
It is and I'm looking forward to trying it out on some campouts this winter.
I have the Solostove version and the uberleben one that is a lot like your. I like these flat pack versions because the give you a bigger and more stable than the solostove version (I’ve had my dinner slide off and onto the ground from a slight bump.)
That was something I was a little worried about, how stable the little stove would be. I found it to be very stable and sturdy with plenty of airflow even with the pot covering the top.
You forgot to add the weight of your fire materials into your calculations. Normal backpacking has the added matches/lighter, and for this you have the fire starter. Probably doesn't weight a whole lot which takes me to a question.., how hard is it in the Pacific NorthWET to get branches on a rainy day that are actually dry enough to start the fire with? I look around on a rainy hike day and don't see much that looks ready to burn. Maybe once the fire is already going it would catch..., but then you have to bring more fire starter with you to build to that point.
Good point, dryer lint with Vaseline doesn't weigh much and everyone should carry something like that anyway, along with three ways to start a fire as part of their regular kit. I've been able to get fires started even in wintertime using dead branches broken off trees. However, I've struggled to keep it going as I can't find larger pieces of wood that aren't soaking wet. Using just dead branches from trees, (with the bark shaved off) works well. So, if I can find enough branches like that I should be good. I'll test that theory later this winter. :)
if your burning wood why bother a few rocks a a v fork branch 0 weight and 0 space take up in your pack
That's a valid point and I've done that previously. However, there are a few things with a campfire that I think the portable stoves like this address.
1. Above 4,000 feet in the national parks in Washington you aren't allowed to have a campfire. However, a small stove like this is OK.
2. Larger branches that have fallen to the ground around here, (fir trees, very springy, curved and wet) are difficult to get started and smoke a lot. Small dead branches from standing trees are easy to access and much dryer, but, they are smaller and not suitable for a campfire except as a starter. In a small box stove like this, they are the ideal fuel.
3. With a campfire you still need some sort of structure to put your pot on. You can use a couple of branches as you suggest, but in trying that method I've had problems with them burning through, being unstable and uneven.
4. The box stoves are typically designed to pull air in from the bottom making them more efficient and easier to keep the fire going.
5. In the video you can see that I have a tarp overhead, a campfire would be risky if not outright dangerous as it would melt or burn the tarp. A small box stove like this provides sufficient heat but due to its size, limits the risk and danger to the tarp.
Bit long winded response, to your one-sentence question, but it was a very important and valid question that I thought needed a proper response.
