How well does it shut down and hold?

How well does it shut down and hold?

What do you mean by shut down and hold? Once all the wingnuts are tight it feels very sturdy.

Are you sure you used .2 mm foil for the belly? That seems really thin. That’s like shim stock thickness. I converted to standard and its 8 thousands of an inch.

I think he is referring to how well can you damper it down and let it burn. How air tight is it?

 

[Rural Alaskan]

Yes. Does it just blaze away, or does it hold coals all night?

I’d say it blazes away. If you have a fire burning and keep adding wood for a couple hours you can get a coal bed that would stay warm for maybe 3ish hours? Would be very similar to all the other packable stoves, I don’t think any of them can last through the night without adding wood. You could get this one pretty airtight if you were careful with your bends, but I wasn’t so I have a gap near the top where the endcap connects with the top flat piece.

And yes, I believe the foil is accurately measured at 0.2mm. Stove pipes are typically in the 0.1mm or less.
For reference, it would be about 10-20x the thickness of aluminum cooking foil.
