I assumed user error as well, and haven’t completely ruled it out. But assuming it was something I was doing, I double checked the chimney cap and spark arrestor at the top of the stack, as well as made sure the damper was lined up right to be open, confirming this after I took the chimney...
Interesting. Thanks for sharing the site. Looks like he doesn’t have the titanium stoves listed though. Only the steel. Any idea if he is doing those as well as the steel?
Well, after going with the Riley over the Four Dog a year ago, I'm back on the market for a stove. Just came back from a trip with the Riley and it smoked us out of the tent a few times. I always wondered why there were small holes at the seam along the top of the stove, as well as gaps around...
I'm comparing these 2 options pretty hard right now as well. Have used a Riley, as well as the Four Dog steel version. The conditions when we used the Riley were not great, high winds and zero deg. temps in a sil-nylon tipi tent, so we were ripping through wood at a good clip. But the stove...
Great info, thank you. Are they pretty easy to control the temps once they get going? And once dampened down, sounds like they can keep a tent warm all night without adding to it?
I'm not familiar with coal-specific stoves used in camping. Do you have any resources, pictures, or specific stoves you can point to? I'd like to learn more about them. Any downsides?
On the bag it says the material is a clean hardwood fiber, 3.5% moisture, and 0.5% ash. Doesn't say the type of hardwood, but the manufacturer may be able to. Looks like they are manufactured by fiberby-products.com.
I would say a half inch to an inch at the longest, with the shortest ones a...
Alright, so I've got a couple nights use now out of the Pellet burner attachment for my Cylinder stove, and here's my thoughts so far.
My use was doing some winter camping at home, around 600 ft elevation, with temps in the 20s at night. I'd start the evening off burning wood splits in the...
A bunch of rain recently got in through the mesh spark arrestor that came with my Four Dog wood stove. Wondering what rain caps you guys would recommend for a 5" nesting stove pipe set, and if they have any negative effect on draft.
I know you had low temps outside, but 30-40 degrees max temp in the tent at night seems low. Was this as high as the temps got in the evenings and mornings too? Would be interesting to know how different pellets would work in that scenario.
Ended up going with this one for when truck camping. Hang it from the center pole to circulate the hot air back down better. Serves dual purpose as a light too.

The thermal powered stove fan I got didn't last me too long before it crapped out. I was putting it over the hottest part of the stove though so maybe that's why. Either way, before I get another one, I wanted to see what other folks were using for a stove fan in their tents, if you've had...
$419 I think it was, just for the hopper setup. They had to increase the price due to the cost of steel going up.
Now I just have to find who stocks the lignetics pellets in my area, so far not having luck. If anybody has had good results with this hopper on another brand of pellets, post it...
I stumbled back on this thread after having been opened up to the idea of pellet burning stoves from it about a year ago.
So decided to call Cylinder stoves to see if they knew when they'd be back in stock and the lady told me they do have about 6 of them available (well maybe 5 now) that...
Very clever method! Thanks for sharing.
The tipi specs usually include the full diameter with a tight pitch. But when pitching, they say not to stretch the full diameter and allow for some slack, so the pole will be able to fully extend. Did you work to get a good pitch on the tent first...
