Looking for feedback on this tiney wood stove
Planning for next winter already

Although if you buy on eBay it has free shipping
Just wondering if anybody has bought one or have mates that did
It isn't by any means cheap but it is light enough to put in the sled and drag with little effort

Looks like a good thing to me MD, although I think I would like to see one in the metal before buying. At that weight it isn't made out of thick stuff, but it may well be thick enough.

I'll disagree with you on the price though. Unless one has access to tools, and or appropriately skilled and equipped mates, the price is pretty attractive.

Mind you if wanted something like this, I would probably make something. They are pretty simple and how hard can it be ?

Well my welding isn't much chop on thin steel and you can't cook on the rocket stove designs I've seen that are designed for heating so I guess you're right.

Way better value to my mind than the US and Euro stuff, which seems to usually be staino.

In Canada a few years ago I was a little surprised at how long a simple 20litre, thin walled, drum based stove would last. Several months at a minimum, (I didn't ask about years) but burning only soft wood.

It's the flat cooktop I find handy
if it wasn't for wanting that then any of the wood fired heaters I have seen as DIY projects would do

Certainly packs down deceptively compact. You could always go DIY-ish:

Cool
I used something similar at the Mt Franklin gathering last year
Oz-Pig is no longer value for money and is too big and heavy for what I need as a minimum weight device.
Still I have a lot of stuff here to play with for the fireboxes and the heat exchangers and anything I wind up with will weigh a lot less than the cast iron stove
