Our mini folding stove is sized for our smaller tents like the MiniPeak XL and Hexpeak.  

Welp...these could have been packaged better at the factory.  There are minor scratches on the top plate, so we're discounting them an additional $30.  If you're particularly OCD, this might not be the deal for you, but we for the price, this stove is hard to beat, even with scratches.

Constructed of 1mm 304 stainless, our new folding stainless stove folds to a lightweight compact package.  The 12" x 7.5" x 6" firebox fits into our smaller hot tents & tipis  perfectly.  The included one piece 6' stainless chimney rolls up into a compact package and includes a spark arrestor. 

Our larger tents (Hercules, Megahorns ) will require the 8' chimney option.  

Could you backpack with this stove?  It's 3# heavier than our titanium stove, and is slightly larger when packed.  Yes...if you already have a lightweight set up and can spare the weight.  This is a better base camp stove instead of a backpacking stove.

Always provide adequate ventilation when using this stove.  It is not intended for use in an airtight building or house.

 

To roll the stove pipe for the first time - wear gloves (this stuff is sharp), follow the directions in this video.  Alternately use two people and a length of 1-1/4" diameter PVC pipe.  Carefully roll the stove pipe around the pipe, and use the included rings to hold the pipe in shape.  Remove the PVC pipe, add the spark arrestor, attach to the stove and you're ready to burn.

 

The stove must be burned in before use to remove any residue or oil from the manufacturing process.  We suggest two initial burns.  Light the stove, stoke the fire box and let it burn with the dampers wide open.  After the stove cools, remove the stove pipe and swap ends so the damper end is now the top end (with spark arrester) and the top (which had the spark arrestor) is now the damper end.  Now do a second burn.  This will allow the stove pipe to burn in from top to bottom which makes it significantly easier to roll.

You may have to adjust the stove hardware after burning.  

Safety First!
The stove will get red hot - keep all flammable material away from the sides and stove pipe.  Remove all flammable liquids (camp stove fuel, etc) from the tent. 

Always use a stove jack - do not pass the stove pipe directly through the tent material. 

Always provide a source of fresh air.  This could be as simple as making sure the door of the tent is slightly open.  On models with a snow skirt, make sure snow is not completely sealing off the perimeter of the tent.

Do not use charcoal!  Charcoal will generate huge amounts of carbon monoxide.

Do not leave the stove unattended.

Do not allow youth to operate the stove or play near the stove.

Do not operate without the spark arrestor.  Always follow any local burn restrictions.
Use a carbon monoxide detector mounted at or above head height.

Be aware of food odors in your tent if you use the stove to cook in your tent.  Here in Central Virginia, black bears hibernate intermittently and are active year round.   We would not cook in a tent because of the potential for attracting an animal.  In other parts of the country and during certain times of the year, this may not be a problem.

The stove keeps it plenty warm however it’s not sufficient for overnight heat. You need to stoke it every hour and smoke backs up every time unless you add a log every 15 minutes before it goes to coals.

Open the chimney damper all the way before opening the front door. That will keep the smoke from backing into the tent.

Not bad, but not great

We use the stove three times now. It does work and supplies decent amount of heat to the Twin Peak Luxe tent in weather around 30 F. It can be used to heat pans and pots but the top is too buckled to cook off of. We could only fit one pot at a time. It isnt that big so we had to use smaller pieces of wood. It doesnt hold that much wood so it will burn out after about an hour. Its good enough to give you that bushcraft feeling but will fall short in performance when the temps go low. Its only a little bigger than a 50 cal ammo can. I do like it, but will probably only use it in fall or spring. Once the stove pipe has been heated a few times it is effortless to set up. We added guy lines to the spark arrestor to keep the pipe stable. The first foot of those lines is metal. Only concern now is that a tent pole could get knocked over in the Twin Peak, on the stove side, and the tent would contact the stove. I did just recently learn that the tent stakes they sell has a spike on one end. The spike could be driven into the ground and would help greatly in preventing the pole from being knocked over. I wouldn’t hesitate to use the stove, but you need to be very mindful of what you’re doing in the tent and be safe.

It is okay quality. Nothing to get excited about. It works for sure but you might have to tinker with it to be at its best.
