Stove Contruction and Materials

Completely Collapsible  for compact transport and easy assembly. Even the box packs down flat - a great feature if you backpack, mush or use bush planes.
Construction:
Body & pipes: We use ONLY stainless steel for our body and pipes, because unlike sheetmetal, stainless steel is much lighter and is not prone to warpage or rust over time. We're so confident about the construction of these stoves that we offer a LIFETIME WARRANTY on materials and workmanship.
Legs: Stainless steel construction. Each leg is independently adjustable - an important feature if you're camping in snow or uneven terrain.

Fuel: These stoves burn about anything organic  from small branches to cow pies - no need to carry extra fuel.

1. A quick tip for starting a fire in your stove. I gather up pitch balls. These can be found on most evergreens and are very common in Ponderossa pine forests and are dried hard, not sticky. A pitch ball the size of an acorn is plenty to start the fire. I like to lay the pitch ball on a piece of bark to keep it off the stove bottem. Then stack twigs teepe style around the pitch, gradually increasing the size. A match or touch of a lighter will ignight the pitch and you will soon have a roaring fire. Don't over do the pitch as you will have a mess as it melts and also it will soot up your spark arrester. The pitch works better than any fire starters I have tried and is very waterproof. I carry a small plastic bottle with some pitch balls right in my stove bag. from Ed

2. Another fire starter idea that is not as organtic I buy a wax/wood fire log for 2 to 3 dollars and cut it up into an ample supply of fire starters. They don't burn as hot as the pitch balls will but they do catch fire quite easily.
from our message board

from the editor: we too have used commercial firelogs in our stoves, though the makers specify on the packaging that they are not to be used in a contained stove - we imagine due to the excessive heat factor when too many chunks are thrown in at once. They have proven effective when used in small amounts, however.

Why is there no damper?

Why are your stoves stainless steel instead of titanium?

Does snow melt inside the Tipi with the stove going?

How warm can the Tipi get with the stove going?

How warm when it is pitched on snow?

Will the stove melt into the snow?

Has the bottom ever burnt through?

Can I use a Duraflame or charcoal?

What about fire retardency?
