The simplest ways to kook food is wait until only hot coals remain when all the flames are gone just put youre dish on the hot coals. Just keep an eye on it.

Question, does your carbon felt stop the stove from spilling alcohol if it tips over by accident. I want something with a safety measure just in case. Can this stove be made without a cat tin can? How about one just using pop cans only?

I use it for tarp tie outs for tarps with no grommets

I like the MSR Stowaway pots, great quality. The pot lid depth & lip fitting inside is much better. I have the 775ml & find it a perfect size for motorcycle touring here in Australia. Thanks for sharing.

Great review, thanks

For the kettle to fit inside you should have gotten the Billy pot. Not that much bigger, but it's nice to have the extra space if need be, plus you can store so much inside.

Thank you so much for sharing, its been so helpful to me. 🙏

Ótimo Fogão aí Ficou ToPe Mesmo Parabéns 👍 gostei de saber honde consigo comprar Asta Ferramenta Que você usou Pra maçã A Lata Parabéns 👍 obrigado

Really helpful video, I have the GSI stainless kettle but wanted a nesting pot set and have had my eye on the Eagle 0.7 for awhile. I would have preferred the Zebra as I think they are slightly better quality (and the inner bowl is a real plus), but like you, having the kettle inside was important, so I bought the Eagle 0.7 kettle which arrived today. I also have the MSR 1.6L and 775ml stowaway pots for car camping. The 775ml pot nests inside the 1.6L so I have a complete cook kit for my needs in two pots. Thanks again for sharing.

That was great! Thank you for showing us the math. Metric measurement is a lot more forgiving.

thanks, very clear tutorial! how to sew the bottom especially helpful

that's cool , never seen this till now. Of course you could just tie a becket with less or same effort

more ibformative than 90% results of simple tarp tent.....

Excellent review, very helpful. Thank you!

Never trust a hammock review from someone who puts their head on the low end.

Did you find a pot that fits a 1.5l eagle kettle? I'm thinking if maybe the MSR Stowaway 1.6l? I can't find interior dimensions anywhere.

LOL. I've reached the same solution, combining LittleBitWorkes "groove" capillarity wall inside two plains walls, making a"sandwich" , for fill the space between the (steel) cans used. A kind of "Fancy Fest" stove, but without wick made of cloth (natural or synthetic), works well and allow pours the remain fuel in the fuel bottle.

Tonight I made a stove just like yours. And it works fantastic I boiled a cup of water in less than 6 minutes. It's hard to believe something so small and so light works so efficiently !! Thanks again for sharing your FF hybrid

GREAT HONEST REVIEW !! Hopefully their 2.0 version or 3.0 XXL & EXTRA STRONG version will be produced soon for us TALLER 6'1' heavy 300 lbs guys with surprise attacks from grandkids (or big dogs) that come flying/jumping in on you unannounced LoL great review !! Maybe ?? I should start my own company that will meet and exceed everybody's expectations for a product like this ... food for thought ??? Have a safe & happy holiday season

So simple & easy to make !! Thank you so much for sharing such a tiny light weight wonderful hybrid FF stove. I also saw a similar capillary action stove whereby instead of the lines (bends on inner can / wick) being parallel to each other, they came to a point (like upside-down V = " ^ ") and made quite a powerful jet (or jets). I also like the fact that you don't have to buy any carbon felt. BTW: I like the comment about making a wider base from one of the other viewers and would also like say that if a wider base needed - you can also use a Vienna Sausage can and do the same thing. VS cans are just slightly larger. Thanks again & hope you all have a safe holiday season. Peace out : -)

Great video! I just ordered this oven after saying I was going to build one for 2 years. What is the "professor's log cabin mix"? I just googled it and came up empty.

I was super interested in this for my first hammock. After your “honest” review I’ll wait and see if they step up their game… longer rain fly, two way zipper and a definite upgrade in quality control. We shall see… again thanks for a thoughtful review

Haventents did reach out to me and have replaced my hammock, they took the video in the spirit in which it was made and used it as an opportunity to make things better at the factory. Good on them.

Excellent unbiast review. Thank you so much redoleary4. Two way zipper would be good, better sewing for the bug net and all around, and reinforcement at ridgeline where the fabic tore. I am also worried about the tension on the walls at the foot and head end from the spreader bars. Perhaps reinforcement there as well. I kinda guessed the insulated pad would not keep you warm in colder weather. a small wool blanket, fitting the pad under or over the pad and somehow secured to prevent bunching up. Reflectix could be sweaty for me. Definitely need a ground sheet for going to ground. All that is not really a problem for me as I mostly kayak/canoe camp. Straps are not an issue for me either; I can buy my own. I like the Warbonnet straps and buckle for gadget-less simplity or just ropes secured to a nice long and wide set of tree straps with a binner so I dont abrase the rope when I tighten it. Trees are sometimes big where I live. The small tarp design is fine for me. It is kind of like a Hennessy tarp which can serve as a winter cover like the Warbonnet xlc for colder weather or in case the moon is just too bright. I generally take a second much bigger tarp just to be on the safe side, but a larger tarp could be optional. Just make sure it is drip proof. I am always on the lookout for a hammock that I can easily and comfortably go to ground with without having to take a small tent and all the stuff afore mentionned that goes with it, as well as my hammock. Overall an excellent design Haven Tents. Entry on two sides is a big plus. Certainly thinking out of the box.

Thanks for the awesome review! I just ordered my XL. I keep hearing people talking about the tarp being too small. I too like an oversized tarp/rainfly for my hammock, but I'm guessing that since this is designed as a hammock tent, the fabric is supposed to be water repellant negating the need for the oversized tarp/rainfly. I will find out as soon as mine arrives.

I can't hear you !!!

I think it would be nice if you would do your home work before you try to talk to us,

Three nights in my xl ,main gripe is the zippers aren't two way, a real problem for me. With dual zippers you can sleep at one end and get out on either side ,not with the Haven.

Wow. Yeah hopefully its still one of the prototypes. But even at that, the quality should be better. Guess they dont have Quality Assurance people to inspect their work. If they do, hopefully they never hire on at Boeing

Funny we came to the same end. I was looking for ways to reduce the weight of my FF stove. I tried my 6.5oz with revolver chamber like design for capillary (I do mine with a slight diagonal angle, almost looks like rifling of a barrel). But had to use carbon felt to make up the gap. I had some 7.5oz Dew around and tried that with better success but the carbon felt combined with the capillary bends went through too much alcohol. So then I scrapped the felt and went with a 12oz cans capillary bend portion cut like you did. I tried in vain to get it to fit in there by doing more bends and I did get it in there but it didn't perform well. So to bridge the gap between the 7.5oz and 12oz can, I ended up doing the same thing as you. I do one thing slightly different than you for stability with the FF can

I'm trying to design something like this but having the alcohol vapor pass through a small orifice before the chimney. I'm hoping the higher velocity / higher turbulence will let me get away with a shorter design.

Excellent review, thanks for taking the time to produce it. I just received my XL this afternoon, I put it up in the back yard. I didn’t notice any problems with the bug netting on mine, probably 1 production run later than yours. I do agree that the zippers would be more convenient if they were double slide types, but mine has them reversed (one side the slide is on the foot, the other side it is on the head end). The tree straps are entirely too short, in place of sending pretty limited use straps Haven might consider not providing straps, I noticed they now sell whoopie slings as a option. I put whoopie slings on mine before the initial hang because of the short straps. The strapping attachment has heat shrink on one side, but missing on the other. I am sure quality control issues would be maddening for Haven with all the Covid issues, if they can’t visit the manufacturer. Weight isn’t a problem for me, I will use it for motorcycle camping. It is very comfortable, it sure is! Overall, quite satisfied in initial impression.

Excellent overview thank you Red. Re: cold back. I've experienced the same using pads in hammocks. I don't believe it's the pads inability to insulate your body heat, but that it has to contend with cold wind. So a wind break like a larger tarp or a ground sheet wrapped around the bottom might help. And or Or putting CCF foam under the pad as a thermal barrier. I'm yet to try these yet but they're ideas i have. With the foam I think you'll want full pad coverage so you might need to go to a foam supplier and cut to size, or use 2 foam pads and cut them to size and maybe tape together. Probably wouldn't hurt to line the edges of the pad.

Can you use a different sleeping pad in the haven xl? For example a Sea to Summit Ether Light 10cm thick xl.

I just set my XL up for the first time and spent some time puzzling over exactly the same issues you described here. Mine was an August pre-order, and has the same issues with the funky sewing at the vents/end points, along the bug screens and at the reinforcement patches. I, too, like the tent despite all this. It's wider than I thought it would be, and like you said, not claustrophobic at all. I'm looking forward to spending tonight in it (80°F and stormy). Not sure if there's any connection at all, but the last batch of sails we ordered from the same factory in China that has made them for us for years came out miss-sewn as well. They told us that they were forced to relocate their factory and incurred a significant labor turnover in the process.

This looks like the perfect way to sleep, the best of both a tent and a hammock. You want something like a wool blanket doubled over and sewn , the same size as your pad, then put some little diagonal bungee cord across the corners to hold it to the pad underneath, then a camping quilt or even a normal single bed duvet cut down lengthwise rather than a sleeping bag. Then I am sure you will be nice and warm.

Hello! Thanks for the deep dive into the XL. We’re collecting feedback on the first round of production and making our adjustments. Videos like this help a ton. I’ll circle back on your email and get things sorted for you. We should have more blue xl’s for warranty replacement in the next couple of weeks. Thanks for pioneering the system with us!

Nice video thank you. Very nice shirt. I am a Michigan ex-pat and would love a shirt like that. Where did you get it? BTW, I have the MSR pot and it is great.

Good review Red. I am waiting for the XL version to be available in Norway. I see that it is not without flaws and has room for improvement. Could it be possible for you to also make a small review where you use the haven tent on the ground as a tent. Sometimes the perfect spot is without trees 😊

Great review and i like the design. Hopefully their 2.0 will address the QC issues, include a thermal pad, 2 way zippers, and maybe widen it a tad more. Thanks for the review !

The setup instructions said to pull the suspension tight!?

Can't wait for a follow up on how your fixes went and more of how you've dialed-it-in

I hope that this one isn't the production model. Because i ordered xl model on their july pre order and paid it over 330€. On that price tag this quality is not acceptable

Great review. Entirely too heavy and large for me. Bet it is comfy though!

Good review Red.

Hey Red! Great review as always..hope ur doing well. Hope they get it together on the construction side. But still not for your bigger than the average bear kinda guy..

This was really helpful for me! I bought the msr pan with the eagle kettle. Very pleased so thanks!

I would like to comment that you are very right about having the vent holes if you need them. Coincidentally, I began watching your video after getting in from testing a build of Fancy Feast stove. (Not yours.) My vent holes operated once as I stood next to it in shorts and when I saw the flash and heard the pop I was grateful for them as I might have had boiling water on my legs. I have also seen them flash 2 or 3 times on a test burn by Hiram Cook: kzbin.info/www/bejne/f3qpopmrZ76fbZI

Steamer in a springform pan works well.

Good Job - thanks!
