Cheap Titanium Stove

[bforristall]

I'm going to have to try one of these for that price. I think I'll try and remove the glass in the door and replace it with a piece of titanium. Lite outdoors sells titanium foil and the 2.5" stack rings. I can probably just get a couple feet of that titanium foil to slide in and extend the pipe also if I need too.

This one is on sale, I bought it today. Might look at replacing the glass with titanium sheet.

I gave it a good 2 hr burn to break it in, then packed it around for 5 days on a spring bear hunt but we never needed it since the weather was nice and warm.

Used mine last year during elk season. It works as expected, no complaints. Wish the fire box was bigger for a longer burn time but it's to be expected. It's pretty surprising the amount of heat they generate in a tent, 30 outside and 80 inside the tent. Pair it with a tipi and you are gtg.

How did your bear hunt go? Where did you go? Im wanting to go in Idaho and try for a wolf too really bad. Part of why I am considering getting this stove!

That's my plan think I'm gonna buy an Argali Absaroka. But holding out to see if they're gonna run any father's day sales

I’m in eastern Oregon and hunt wilderness areas with my teenage daughter and her best friend. Saw 7 bears, but only 1 big cinnamon boar that was in a position we could actually get to. Unfortunately he was on the move and we couldn’t close the gap fast enough. The country is big and steep, so you’ll see bears, but getting to them while they’re constantly on the move is the hard part.

Spring bear is one of my favorites. Bonus was we packed in on memorial weekend and never saw a soul. Had a great time and the kids did great. They love it. Just need to get them to be quieter and not laugh so loud all day while dad glasses for bears.

My daughter got a 4 yr old sow on the first day last year. If you haven’t glassed many bears, learning the difference between a small one and a medium can be tough. The big guys are pretty easy to tell.

Just picked up this stove and an 8ft section of chimney on sale for $200 CAD all in off Aliexpress. Both the stove and the pipe were on sale, and I used a promo code for another $20. Should be the ticket for a backpack moose hunt this fall.

Any updates on guys' Aliexpress stoves? How are they holding up?

 

[jofes]

So far so good

Anybody tried using coal? I read a review of one off Amazon a guy claimed he used some coal in his to extend burn times. But the stove he reviewed was stainless not titanium, don't know if that would make a difference?

Coal burns hotter than wood, but I don't know if it would burn hot enough in one of these to damage it. Probably not unless you're really trying to burn it hot.

Ended up ordering the aliexpress stove. Up to 175 these days, but still much cheaper than the alternatives. I'll post back when received.

So I've run the aliexpress stove. A few comments:

-- I'm not worried about weight, because the horse packs it.

-- I used the soft-sided carry case that came with the stove. This resulted in the glass being broken (stayed together, but still cracked), and the stove pipe getting crushed. No hard/misuse, just thrown in a pannier and usual loading/unloading.

-- Making a crushed/kinked stove pipe work in the backcountry was hard (and loud.) But it was salvageable, and worked okay once I got the sheet rolled correctly.

In summary: The stove definitely works, and I really like having it vs sleeping in a normal tent. But going forward I will replace the glass with a piece of steel/titanium sheeting, and I will store the rolled stove pipe in a piece of PVC pipe.

On past trips I actually liked the glass more than I thought it would (ambience is nice), but if it had shattered completely I would have been SOL on my last trip.

If you baby your gear, maybe none of this matters.
