LiteOutdoors Titanium Wood Stove Review

LiteOutdoors Gear Website www.liteoutdoors.com/

[@thedude7726]

i had purchased one of these units and have had several issues with one winter of use. the stove body is so easily damaged that it needs a PVC case to protect it. the door latch is so small that its impossible to not burn yourself operationing it. it is extremely easy to over heat this stove, after one winter of regular use the stove section has gotten very brittle and hard and warped heavily. I have since purchased a heavier duty unit that's well worth the extra weight.

[@michaelscruggs7699]

So what stove did you buy? I'm trying to find the best bang for my buck, thanks.

[@unbdld42]

Excellent video because you were very organized and explained sufficient details. Thank you for not playing obnoxious music in the background the whole time. The focus was the stove!

[@livingsurvival]

+unbdld42 thanks :)

[@george0r510]

Yes, the focus was on the stove, and it was presented very nicely. There is a major concern it is a flimsy material and assembly.... AVOID THIS STOVE it is a safety concern in my opinion.

[@scoutingfreegermany]

Pretty amazing design and seems to work great! Thanks 4 sharing Ben. Cheers, Marc

[@guns4funcajanajustin]

Nice lightweight compact stove thanks for the demo on this one. Stay warm awesome set up

[@SupaFlyFatGuy859]

Hell yea bro! That little booger looks AWESOME! And working like a dream I'm SURE! GREAT video man!

[@livingsurvival]

***** HELL YA

[@ryanbarbolt3691]

I'd take a weight penalty to not have to deal with the razor thin titanium.

[@josephhirsch1796]

The stove is actually durable and thinking about using it on a winter thru hike.

[@livingsurvival]

+bottomlands How so? This stove serves every purpose intended and fit my needs for this application perfectly. And at a reasonable price. That is a whole lot of win no matter how you look at it.

[@ChrisClarke]

+Living Survival I agree with all your comments. I have just purchased my own 18" stove. Very happy with it and agree it serves its purpose with weight and size against strength and purpose. I have now burnt it in. I can't wait to use it on my next outing. I believe I have the latest model. There is 2 steel rods instead of the cables along the top. The vent has 3 triangular shaped air holes instead of the 2 circles. There are 2 draw cord locks on each storage bag provided. Probably due to your informative comments lol. Overall very impressed. Great vid by the way it influenced my decision in buying one lol. Atb EMBA

[@livingsurvival]

Chris Clarke Yes you have the updated model :)

[@michaelkuzmin]

+Living Survival What size of stove is this? 18 inch or 12 inch? have you tested the 18 inch stove in a larger tent (10 to 12 people) and temperatures around -25 C which is -13 F

[@karelvanleer429]

Living Survival okay I never thought that was actually even burn without the metal burning a hole in it without the metal burning in itself the way that the way that been together it seemed so flimsy it would not hold the wood let alone hold something burning AMV everyone camping inv everyone camping I'm disabled I used to cut trees down for a living then I'm stuck in a nursing home rehabbing from an injury I must be in punished for some reason I can't seem to get out of sucking nursing home I keep getting injured why people that work here so without KZbin I go fucking nuts I don't want to say I invented all this shit but I did just about everything I see being done on KZbin I guess this is torture for me well if I can't do it I might as well watch it being done

Dang nice review! I would never think a titanium stove that thin could be that durable. I am impressed. Thanks for sharing.

[@livingsurvival]

Yeah works great. Did some cooking on it tonight and held up fine with a pot on it to boil water. Video coming soon on that. Thanks for watching.

[@HeartlandMakesAndOutdoors]

I am currently looking for a stove for my tent, I am curious how this is working and holding up. I think you have had it about 3 years now and wondering if it is still holding up good.I can see how it would be beneficial for back packing a light weight set up across the mountains etc. Thanks for the video and I hope you have a blessed and safe week. dale

[@gueyhoo9261]

Very interesting and informative video. I've been seeing these stoves in videos, but never broken down like you show it. Thanks. :)

[@livingsurvival]

+Donna Parker thanks Donna, enjoy your weekend.

[@mlydick]

I own this, it's waaay easier to use than he's describing (this is his first time assembling it, in the field, cold - with gloves. Practice one time, and it goes about 5x faster. I love this stove vs. the box stoves because I can put full size logs in in vs cutting little lincoln log size things x 1000. It's also very durable. I'm not sure what other commenters are doing with their stoves - forging axes?

[@tbobmann229]

That is an awesome setup!..excellent video and informative...the rewards are definitely worth the little bit of effort in assembly...and being able to pack in a bugout bag is ideal for winter excursions.. this could save your hide one day!..definitely a must have combo..thanks!

[@livingsurvival]

How does this cylinder stove and the Seekoutside stove compare? Do you have a preference.

[@thedwightway1087]

It's been a few years, how's the stove holding up over the long term?

[@graceandwilliam2299]

How many burns can you realistically do before either the bottom or the top burns out ? It seams almost the "body" will need to be replaced every third outing if you are having to run it pretty hard each day

[@justanotherjackass4669]

“Not made to be durable” I believe you. As my father would say Made to be sold not used

[@dresoul5600]

Thank you for the great, competent demo. Been thinking about one of these babies for my "home base" tent. Also, heat inside the tent will make my girlfriend more likely to want to sleep in a tent if we camp in cold weather.

[@livingsurvival]

Wow looks like one fine piece of kit.

[@metallitech]

Cool toy, the way it turns nice colors.

[@drtstar1]

With long term use, have you noticed ash sitting on the outside of the tent trying to burn its way in? I find my canvas hot tent has 4 or 5 holes now and about a dozen hot marks. I'd like to know how the nylon holds up as an alternative tent material.

[@livingsurvival]

there is ash sometimes in the morning if there is no breeze but have yet to burn a hole using multiple stoves.

[@funshootin1]

awesome video sir !!!! cool little stove for sure.

[@jetmuchacho]

Would like to toss in a comment on our experiences. I got the seek outside stove with our tent. It seems a bit more rugged than this one, since it is rectangular and the sides joint into each other. The top and bottom are a thicker sheet of titanium than the sides and it can hold a couple litres of water in a pot no problem. The whole setup of tent and stove weighs about 6 lbs if I remember correctly. We've stayed in the tent probably 50 nights that we used the stove over the past couple years. Some of the colder nights were -32 degrees C, we never brought the stove if it was warmer than -5 degrees C. When I first got the stove it was all nice and chrome looking like this one, after the first burn it shrivelled up and looked like shit immediatley and I had major buyers remorse thinking it would never last (it was dam near $500 or something). But it has never changed in appearance or function since then and, despite the purple titanium prune that it is, I'm sure it will last another few years at least. We stayed in it 24 nights over this past few weeks of hunting season in Northern Alberta and the average night was about -8 degrees Celcius. Observations: 1. On nights below about -5 degrees C, you can see the layer of condensation around the bottom 1-3 feet of the tent walls even when you wake up every 45 minutes to re-light the stove (toss 5 peices of kindling on top of the glowing embers and top with 2-3 peices of "big wood"). This cold condensed layer is mostly ice but the melt water runs down onto your sleeping bag if you are in a square sided tent like our Back Country Shelter 2. If we were not using gortex bivi bags around our sleeping bags, we would have frozen our asses off because of this. On colder nights it might be 25 degrees up at waste level, but -10 degrees at ground level where you're sleeping. 2. We stayed out some nights where winds gusted to 60-80km/h and we ran the stove all night as it was about -15 degrees if I recall correctly. The stove pipe, even though it just sits there on top of the stove in a seemingly tedious configuration, NEVER came out even though it flailed around like crazy and made it dam near impossible to sleep with the noise and imminant threat of being smoked out if it disconnected. 3. The center pole of the tent can be under immense pressure depending on your pitch. Don't try and adjust the height of the pole without checking how much tension it's carrying. Trying to adjust the pole one night I pushed the pin that holds it in position and it dropped the tent down so far that the stove pipe bounced and came out of the top of the stove and started swinging around in the tent while it was way too hot to grab. Plus now I was holding the tent up by the pole and couldn't let go so I basically had to kick the smoke billowing stove out the door and hold the hot stove pipe by the damper until it cooled enough that I could let go of it and let it swing over and rest on the tent wall. At moments like that, usually it will jam in the stove jack and you can't pull it down to rest on the ground. Anyway it took I would say 100 lbs of lifting force to get the center pole pin to line back up so the pole would support the tent again. 4. Even though you have a stove, bring a sleeping system that would be comfortable WITHOUT a stove in the expected temperatures outside. You will wake up at 3am and realise the stove has been out for hours, and you will be very glad that you are still somewhat warm in your sleeping bag. 5. The stove pipe literally falls into position when you unroll it after the first burn. I can just toss it on the ground with an unrolling motion as if rolling a bowling ball, and it falls into it's assembled position. 6. Don't try to turn down your draft and damper too much to make the wood last overnight. I closed both the damper and the draft one night when I first got the stove. I woke up in the middle of the night and the tent was completely saturated with smoke to the point I couldn't see anything 2 feet past my face and the stove sounded like bacon frying. Creasote had built up in the stove pipe while we were sleeping and choked out the fire with smoke, which killed the natural draft of the stove pipe causing the smoke to roll out the unsealed joints of the sides/top/bottom causing smoke to fill the tent. It's a wonder we ever woke up. After opening the doors on the tent, I opened the drafts on the stove and all the creosote inside erupted as if I'd thrown a gallon of gas into the stove and it burned for a solid ten minutes with the entire stove and pipe glowing bright red and we had to leave the tent because of the insane heat radiating off of it. I thought for sure the tent was a gonner but somehow the material of the BCS2 didn't burn or take any damage at all. 7. If you leave your tent in one spot for a few days or your sleeping out on the ice, put something under the stove to insulate it from the ground. The heat radiating into the ground will cause you problems. On ice you will wake up with a large puddle of open water under the stove and if you have a slope you'll wake up in that water. On land you will run into issues when you first light the stove at night after emptying the ashes. With no ashes in the bottom there is no insulation from the burning firewood to the bottom of the stove. It will glow red and ignite anything combustable under the stove. You'll be cursing wondering why it's so smokey in the tent only to realise the snow underneath has melted and the grass or leaves underneath are burning and filling the tent with smoke. 8. If it snows, clean the snow away from the edges of the tent and completely off the material as soon as possible. If you leave it there, the heat from the stove will keep melting some of the snow and as it runs down the tent to the bottom there will be a layer of about 6" of snow/ice around the bottom of the tent. This will either freeze it into the ground, or the ice will stick impossibly to the bottom edges of the tent and you will be forced to carry an extra 20 lbs of ice out with your tent.

[@livingsurvival]

+TRX250r08 Very good info. I chose the liteoutdoors stove for the weight and the goal of being able to put both the tipi and stove in a backpack. If I had a sled (winter) I would certainly opt for a heavier duty stove. It was nice to see this lightweight option got the job done. Thanks again for the information.

[@jetmuchacho]

Weighs 2.5lbs inlcuding the pipe, fits in pack easily since it all folds flat except the pipe of course. Great for elk hunting in the mountains. A little over 6lbs total with the tent I think.

[@yoopersurvival]

that looks like a great stove, I scored a pile of canvas at a garage sale this year and going to attempt to make a canvas tent how much square feet do you think that stove would heat. I'm figuring about 10' long 5' knee-wall with probably about 7' high in the middle.

[@livingsurvival]

yoopersurvival I have no clue, would just have to play around with it. Definitely take some videos.

[@steinwaygoat]

[@MrTmax74]

Nicely done video brother. Your explanations were great and video work showed things well. That’s a super cool stove, though it would take some time and finesse to set up. I’m not sure I’m patient enough for that ha ha. But probably as light as you get. I can see it being useful for someone who might be staying several nights somewhere. U need to fill your time so set up time doesn’t matter so much. Tx!

[@stephenanderson2318]

Got my tent a few days ago and the stove came in yesterday.Put the stove together easy. Still have to put the pipe together. but I wanted to thank you for your video.! Great job! Wanted to ask after you took the pipe back down did you have any problems rolling the pipe back to the way it came in the pouch? Just was wondering.

[@livingsurvival]

Nope, went back very easily.

[@spencerguffey5078]

What's the longest burn time you think you could get out of a stove this size if you restricted the air flow correctly and used good hard wood?

[@livingsurvival]

+Spencer Guffey 30mins to an hour probably...but the heat will stay put for hours after unless it is REALLY cold.

I'd prefer something a bit more durable, even if it weighed a bit more. This glorified sandwich wrap wouldn't last a few setting ups and putting away. Would be great for an emergency, but not realistic for campers who prepared before they went. Great vid

[@dahartman88]

That's crazy design work there man. I had no idea it was flat sheets, wonder how well this will hold up to prolonged heat exposure. Another great show and tell.

[@livingsurvival]

As I mentioned on an earlier comment, I wouldn't take this on expedition but for a few nights or as a survival shelter A+

[@bitingmongeese-geoffreybyn8311]

How hot did the stove legs get?? Would they have melted through a ground sheet/tarp?? The tipi looked awesome but seems like it could have used a ground sheet especially as there were internal straps that the sheet could have been attached to, to create a loose edged bathtub effect. Could have been extremely comfortable and dry. The stove was great. Excellent product that looked like it was made for the shelter and you can cook on it too.

[@richdunn8613]

One question about the stove pipe though, does it roll out into the 8' pipe much easier now that it has been burnt in? Thanks again!

[@livingsurvival]

What about high winds. I see the pipe is not secured with a line. Won't the stove be rattled around during a storm?

[@livingsurvival]

Bill Hill I was out in some fairly high winds, I suppose it could but the opening in the tipi is pretty small and made tighter against the pipe by the rain flap so it doesn't move much.

[@swisski7]

how did you like this compared to the Seek Outside stove in your other video?

[@livingsurvival]

***** I never used the seek outside stove. The SO stove is nice because it is square design but I was looking for the most lightweight option and was pleasantly surprised that this LO stove could cook just as well.

Just a suggestion for others. There is usually oil and other metal manufacturing residues from production on any tent stove. It's a good idea to burn the stove in before any trip.

Put everything on a kid's plastic toboggan and drag it all along. (The plastic toboggan can be used to coast down the sand dunes at WSNM-they sell plastic flying saucers at the gift shop). Also useful is a small snow shovel to dig out a snow cave or the car out after a snow storm. Do not step on the stove and it should last a long time ! Thank you for a great video ! tjl

[@livingsurvival]

+Tim Lipinski if I was going to use a sled I would go for a box stove. The intention of the tipi and this stove was to see if I could pack a shelter like this into a pack. It worked perfectly.

[@edconnery3184]

I really liked the review of this stove. Good to know that I don't want it. I prefer the Sheepherder's Alaskan and Packer Stoves that can be reviewed at Cabelas. The reason is that it comes with a flat top so that you can cook on it and there are a lot of add-ons for it because it has been around a long time. Its light weight and can be packed out to a site if need be. I have not personally used it but have seen it in use at a Boy Scout Jamboree and the fella using it really liked it. Keep them coming Ben, I like your reviews :)

[@livingsurvival]

You actually can cook quite well on the top, it flattens out. Watch the next video to see what I'm talking about. Since then I've cooked eggs and bacon with skillet while boiling water etc. Its the lightest one that packs the smallest and that was my intention. No doubt better stoves out there though. I like the fourdog stoves but $$$.

[@jacker372]

+Living Survival yea but do you have to disassemble the whole thing or do you have like a latch or grill to push it all out?

[@Adventure_Coffey]

That stove is awesome Ben! It did it's job for sure and at a weight that is surprising. I'm just curious as to how it all holds up after being put together and taken apart about a dozen times. You did a great job bringing this to us. Once again the shelter has fast become one of my favorite ones out there. Take care bub.

Great video on the stove, two questions, with no rain cap will you have an issue in a heavy rain situation, and two I would love to see the take down of the stove and how dirty it becomes when packing it. I will defiantly take a look at the stove.

[@livingsurvival]

T&B Kuntry Strong I should be taking it down in the next few days and will do a video on it, however since it rolls into itself it should at least be good until you get home. Then you could do a proper wipe down. Also, it rained pretty hard and did not effect it at all, you could hear the water coming down but it just burned off right away. I think this would be a larger problem with larger diameter stoves. I may make something for the top and integrate a spark arrestor too.

[@tbkuntrystrong]

Great to hear, I will be watching to see the take down. Thanks for the reply

[@donlowery1423]

Could this be used in a Tiny House from 100-400 sq ft? How about a small camper trailer?

[@livingsurvival]

+Don Lowery Probably.

[@QUADBOYification]

It is a remarkable kit to make a great stove. It's a little pricy and Europeans won't get it easy with import restriction. I recommend building a simple stainless steel stove by attaching two parts "Bain Marie Pots" 1/3 GN Size (150 mm Height each 0.8mm thick) on top of each other with bolds. A tiny DIY door and a chimney make it a lightweight 1KG Stove with 12+ Liter burn size. You can nest the two parts inside each other with al the parts in your bagpack. It won't take much space and you can put other stuf inside also. It'll cost ya $20 to make and a few extra dollars for a foldable titanium chimney. You do the math. It will be reusable and probably lasts over 60 overnight burns.

[@DarylOster]

For all the people complaining about the price, the real issue is cost. For a firebox, titanium lasts more than 10 times longer than stainless steel of the same thickness, and stainless steel lasts over 10 times longer than regular steel. If you make a stove out of a lacquer can and it lasts 2 weeks (and you cant see due to smoke in eyes, or die in the night from carbon monoxide) the cost of the free junk is much greater than the long term cost of the better equipment. If Ti lasts 10 years = $27/year = $0.50 per week. What is the weight savings worth? Yes, ultralight equipment will not stand abuse or careless use, so ham-fisted idiots should avoid and buy the 30lb mass produced stove that will rust through in 2 seasons, and weigh so much they never want to take it along. Soch types will not enjoy the benefits (like keeping warm during a week long rain, or eating real food). As far as the pipe goes: for the first time, a tent pole helps to guide the long roll into a long tube shape - so set your stove up first. Also after after the 4th or 5th use the tube will almost roll it's self up - like magic (much faster and easier than the slip-joint type) -- Ti has a memory effect when it is heated -- to fully benefit it is best to turn the pipe upside down for half of the first few times of use to even out the effect over the length. An alternative between this 2.5lb stove and the 4-dog stove (8lbs - fixed shape) are the flat top (easier to cook on) 4lb collapsible titanium stoves like the winterwell, SO, W3, TiGoat WiFi, etc. at about $400-500 price. After burn-in, (with the stronger flat-top stoves) you can actually use the stove pipe as a tent pole, and recover some of the weight penalty by leaving the tepee pole at home. ALSO FYI - a 2oz spaceblanket on snow will reflect 95% of the heat - and NOT melt down so fast -- important in deep snow.

what did u do cut a hole in the teepee?

[@livingsurvival]

amtrak151 came with a stove jack built in.

[@05Rudey]

That's pretty cool, packability comes at a price, ie mega fiddly, but the end result looks a good product and looking at the weather, a vital bit of kit. As always, a great review.

[@livingsurvival]

+05Rudey Right, the goal was light weight and it hit that spot on.

[@mtbjames2781]

it must be cold there . what sleeping bag do you use and does it keep you warm

[@livingsurvival]

+James McArdle i have a few depending on temperature but I like the snugpak bags.

[@mtbjames2781]

thanks will be checking out the snugpak bags for future camping

[@kevinolesik1500]

great stove, good btu output

[@garys1719]

Looks like a complete pain in the ass.

[@livingsurvival]

+Gary S Nope, really easy.

[@Deceptor]

+Living Survival Looks like many small parts that can get lost though. How is it to setup next time when it's all full of grim/soot (or what the word is)? Is there any risk of damaging or tearing up the thin titanium? Thnx for the review :)

[@kodiak1010]

PSportz yes. Looks very tedious, expensive, and not very durable...i cant stand tin can stoves because of their flimsiness and this is tenfold. I would trash it after a few burns im sure.

[@Davey14]

+Gary S and what happens to the ash.

[@livingsurvival]

Davey 14 The advantage of this stove is simply the weight and it can be carried in a backpack. SO if that is what you are looking for it is perfect. There are more rugged ones for winter camping with a sled for example. Setup is easy no matter how dirty or cold for that matter. Works well. You simply dump the stove outside (its VERY light) to dump the ash.

Heated shelters rock, Thriving not just surviving during the winter.

[@livingsurvival]

MegaWoodswalker Yeah I agree, very easy with heat.
