Backpacking with a Stove.....Where/How to carry it?

[Jesse Jaymes]

For guys that carry a Ti stove to heat a shelter.....I pulled out a cylinder stove I bought a few years ago. Never used it or packed it. Where and how do you pack it? Things seem super frail and prone to dents, dings, bends, and chingasos. Not at all like a sleeping pad or a bag where you can just cram it in. And seems to take up a ton of space. Even the rectangular stoves seem like they would be pretty inconvenient to pack in a backpack. Any tips or ticks ? Or say F it.....it's malleable metal gear....bend whatever is not fitting back into place?

My lite out doors just goes beside the sleeping bag in the bottom of the reckoning 2 years and it is holding up good they are alot tougher than they look

I'm new in the ti stove game too. I just jigsaw the two pieces into my system. I am mindful of where they are as I consider cinching down compression straps or dropping my pack on the ground. It seems that they are inherently flimsy to some degree but surprisingly tough. So far with five or so long term burns in mine I've notice some dents dings and deformities. From what I've read this is the norm. I've read that with titanium one should expect a lifetime of service with maybe a little repair along the way. That is without any tragic circumstances.

My large WiFi stove is easy to pack, the flimsy body rolls up with the pipe and the two rectangle top and bottom halves go together with any small parts in between , its about the size of a big magazine. The body goes against the frame in the pack and the pipe just goes wherever, no worries for anything bending or getting dented.

Your not trying to pack while it’s already assembled are you? Not being smart ass just making sure.

No.....fully disassembled. Thanks

On my Exo I put the outside pack strap through each handle of the stove bag and let it ride. Since it is outside my bag it isn't "squished" and when snugged up via the strap doesn't rattle or flop around.

I don’t worry about my Ti Goat being fragile.
They chimney, being one of the heavier items in my pack, gets placed horizontally up high. Rolled up, it’s not prone to any damage. I tuck the end caps and ring accessories against the back panel as one of the last items to go into the pack and stuff it down in there so it doesn’t rattle.

I strap mine on outside of my pack.

I put my SO stove in the top of the pack (basically inside the snow collar, below the top of the frame stays if possible) with a guide lid over the top of that. No issues in multiple years of doing it this way.
