    I'm gonna give you a American Southern tip for creosote removal! This is passed down from all the old timers and nothing is easier than this. Get your fire to it's hottest point and Chuck in a aluminum can, it will burn into a grey dust of aluminum oxide which is the secret to chimney sweep logs. My dad would always do this in our big oaktree wood burner and you could hear all the creosote start falling down the pipe. Years later my wife and I had a wood burner used every day throughout winter months and we always did this once a week at very least.

      What a fascinating method. I'll give it a try and research it some more. Thanks for the tip!

    Very good information. Im not a tent camper as i live in my rv. Im on family property and id love to have an outdoor kitchen space. I can do bonfires. We burn all the downed tree limbs and such. But, a portable stove/oven would be so handy. I know many people have put the portable wood stoves inside their riga, but im not comfortable with that option. Thank you for your informative video!

      I completely agree with your want to have an outdoor kitchen. I'm about to upload a video showing my truck setup, and I think you'll find it interesting. Basically, I work on the principle that everything is portable away from the truck. This is so I have the flexibility of location, such as where I cook and eat, but also so the truck can be ready to drive off with the minimum of fuss. Because I set up a tent, which I can park my truck up into if I need to, I have the flexibility of leaving a camp set up, and driving off to get supplies, seek medical attention, or go touring. It does require a reasonable level of trust that no one will interfere with my gear though. Anyway, a portable woodstove that can be set up anywhere and not be tethered to any one location, is a much better way to do it.

    This looks real cool! I have a "Solo Stove", a small hobo wood stove, for solo travels / camping stove. Works perfectly, is lightweight and always forces you to make a fire, which is such a psychological plus once it's done :D

      Oh yes! I love my solo too. I keep a little metho burner from my trangia in there too, for those times when I'm in a place where they only allow fuel cookers, or when it's a real mess in the weather and I just need a brew. Thankyou for mentioning the solo, I'll get a video up about it too. There's so much to be said about the psychology of fire that the solo reminds us of.

    Im looking at building an insulated enclosure for a similar stove. I want to be able to direct the heat out of two narrow openings that i can open or close to change position. One would point into my tent, the other woukd point toward my outdoor seating position

    I reckon the fire box that @swedwood is using is the go.. @ua-cam.com/video/tvwkQQ4y2pE/v-deo.htmlsi=f5GvvBNGX_rTGLw_
