Great video my friend... After my wife and I just watched this, she ordered the stove for me.... woopwoop...👍 she owed me a Christmas gift and my winter camp is in two weeks. FYI though, a quick and easy fix to the wood and coals falling out is bend or weld up a "U" shaped peice of steel that will be inside across the door opening and goes back down both sides. That's my plan for the fix... I'll drop you a note if it works well... peace and be safe...D

Is it worth your money,or is this product just funny . Loved that. I do love the multiple windows. That's a great feature.Fantastic improvement for the latch being able to slide into for better ability to open and close the latch. I love how they gave the option of the removable lid. Having them figure out how they can improve the front so the logs don't fall out. Especially for the price. But overall looks like a great addition for any hot tent.

@@AdventureswithSpackmann Talk about a burn count. Last week I was squirting some fire gel into the stove that still had flames to encourage a bit of wood to take off and the dang thing caught fire at the tip and then the tip blew off napalming my stove, the rug and my heat shield. Thought I was going to burn my tent down for a second. After realizing the rug was the only thing flammable I grabbed a towel and covered it up and put it out instantly. Didn’t even damage the rug.

for the ash trays for the ashes, goodwell, or any thrift store for the old trays , no sence to buy something new , just for ol ashes? i do recommended to place a sheet of 3/4" plywood nder the whole stove in its hot and in the floor of the tent, reason the legs of the stove are HOT as well as the whole stove, placing the plywood under is a neutral point for the heat to stop at the plywood. hot stoves are made for the old cabins where the grounds are on stone or on the dirt ground, . if placed in a home is till on some form of steel or wood for the base, ! i like the idea of the vent offset , for cooking on top, but on mine i made a S shape from the back insde the stove to the top making the top a FULL cooking top .

Depending on how cold it is and how well your fire is doing, I believe it would heat it. During this video I’m in a very similar size and shape tent in single digit temps(F) and it was toasty. I forgot to mention burntimes. I’ve gotten at most 3-4 hours full of kiln dry hardwood. Normal dry hardwood rounds may be longer. Thanks for watching

[@mrhalfstep]

Another entertaining video! Do you think that the wood would stay in the fire box better if they had designed it to load from one of the ends? You don't see that issue on most stoves and I think that it's because they load longwise (made up word). You could still have the big windows and orient the stove the exact same way as you have it in the video, I think. And are the handles on top necessary? They look like they are limiting the space up there by not allowing a little overhang of your pots if you needed it. I think that hole in the top of the stove is a valuable asset to people that are familiar with cooking on wood stoves. I had a great aunt that did all of her cooking on a cast iron stove that had 4 holes in the top. I've read and seen videos that explain that those holes had a standardized sizing system (and I don't think that it's diameter), back in the day, and that the number that is cast on the bottom of say, a Lodge iron skillet, corresponds to a same sized hole on a stove. If you look at a Lodge skillet you'll see a ring on the bottom and the number represents the size of that ring and the ring will drop down into the correct sized hole on a stove top. A number 6 pot or skillet is meant to be used in the number 6 hole in the stove. I think the hole also allows you to feed wood directly under the pot that will be sitting there. As to why you'd cook with the hole cover plate removed, I don't have an answer, but it must be important on a cook stove because they all have the holes. It just seems like a place for smoke to escape from on a tiny tent stove.

[@AdventureswithSpackmann]

That’s so cool. The numbers on cast iron corresponding to stove holes! I did not know that. I think you would have way less of an issue if it was loaded from the side. Going longwise(I’m not sure you’re right about that being made up, sounds right to me lol) would give the wood more space instead of the few inches wide the stove is. I believe on front loaders it’s very common for stuff to fall out. Most house wood stoves have a tray and teeth to catch falling debris. As for the handles, no, they aren’t necessary. Only used to transport as far as I can tell. And it comes with a bag, add some handles to the bag instead and problem solved. If I remember right, when they were designing it, it was so pots didn’t fall off, but my memory is no good lol. Thanks for watching

[@mrhalfstep]

My memory isn't perfect either, so fact check me about those stove top holes before you pass on those "facts" LOL. Now that you mention it, fireplaces and wood stoves DO have a grate shaped like a cradle to maintain the coals in the hearth. That might be the solution that Pomoly needs to investigate. My question about the handles was geared towards whether they hold the sides in place somehow, or are they just bolted on, as an afterthought, up through the stove top.@@AdventureswithSpackmann

[@mrhalfstep]

It just hit me, the bag doesn't have handles or a shoulder strap ALREADY? That's a mark against the designers, for certain.@@AdventureswithSpackmann

[@AdventureswithSpackmann]

@mrhalfstep oh haven’t investigated it enough to see if they hold the sides together or not. If so I’m sure a normal bolt could take their place.

[@AdventureswithSpackmann]

@@mrhalfstep it doesn’t. The stove handles come out of the bag to carry it. By design.

[@johnburgin7478]

Not a fan of the side door / feed . Looks like they created an extra problem. Or design it with that system with a standard end feed giving an optional choice. You can pull the top plate and use a wok or grate for steaks 🥩. Have a great day
