How hot does the outside layer of the stove get?

Sorry I missed this question. It’s as hot as the inside. I cary an oven mitt to handle it.

Great video! I've never made CreamOWeet with water! I'm going to try it because it's so much easier (no ice chest needed, for milk), but I don't see how it gets creamy with no milk. Thanks for the tip! Our Goodwill thrift stores have sales twice a month and I go get pillow cases to put all my sooty pots in. For washing, I have one spray bottle for soapy water and one for clean water. The pressure of the squirt really helps and is so much easier than filling a tub (I live in Arizona, so all water has to be brought with me, for the places I've gone). I also have a net bag for small items I wash and for the green scratcher I wash with. I put all the small wet things in the net bag and hang it to dry. I'm really loving my Solo Stove (Campfire size) ! Last night, I cooked meat and onions on it in a huge cast-iron wok (from Cabella's), and I had another small fire going with charcoal in my Simple Theory stove, with a cast iron flat griddle on that, for warming tortillas. I love cooking outside! The easiest way to regulate heat is by hanging pots over the fire using a tripod (raise and lower). I saw a cool thing on Amazon, $15, for a metal triangle with holes in it, and a bit of chain with a hook. Just cut 3 straight branches and build a tripod in a couple minutes. I haven't bought it yet, because I don't usually see straight branches in Arizona--it's just not the types of trees I see around (I have Mesquite, Palo Verde, and Ironwood). There are small metal tripods for around $25-$30, but I don't think they are built for heavy dutch ovens. The cast iron is a great head regulator, and I hate to give that up. I'm not backpacking--it's 4x4 or a wheeled deer cart for me right now (no, that's not a cart pulled by deer). :)

Wow! What a great response. I am so sorry I missed your comments. Yes, I love Cremeowheat with milk more, but it can work with water as well. Thanks again for watching and for the comments.
