Hot tent stove

[Prest0npage]

Looking for a lightweight pack able stove option for my Peax solitude tipi. Seems a lot of people say good about the Argali one but wanting to hear opinions on that vs others and which is best? Seems people usually say the way they assemble makes a difference. Also wanting the max amount of burn time. Any info helps!

I like the Winnerwell fast fold. Super easy to assemble. There may be others with that design also, not sure.

I don’t have a lot of experience but the longer burn time likely means larger stove box. I settled on the argali stove due to the stove size being a little bigger. Just figured more wood would burn longer

We went with Argali but no experience with it in the field yet.

I have the Lite Outdoors barrel stoves, 8"x12" and 8"x 18"

Not gonna lie, they are a PITA to assemble.

the 12" is nice when you need some heat, like around freezing for comfort.

Get the 18" for really cold. They both burn longer with the internal baffle and damp down good. The 18" will almost burn all night with 2" and bigger wood damped down.

The barrel shape makes the embers naturally settle to the center vs a flat bottom.

I have the 18" lite outdoors cylinder as well. It is a pain to assemble but packs down pretty small and really burns well.

You already have the peax tipi. Look into the peax stove, it assembles very easily. Really well thought out

I would keep an eye out for how thin of walls and what the material is (stainless or titanium). Regardless a box shaped woodstove is not going to last forever. I thought the older woodstoves Kifaru sold that were a cylinder seemed very interesting but I wouldn't want to pack it in. I have a Seek Outside Large U-Turn, it works great but I know it won't last forever. My only complaint is the damper doesn't sit flush in the carry bag so there is a real chance of bending it but so far not a big deal. If you want burn time you need a damper on the flue pipe and a larger box than you think you need, turn the place into a sweat lodge, refill the box, and turn it down.

I run the Lite Outdoors as well and highly recommend it. Great stove for the price. The set up isn’t terrible with a little practice. The only downside is the carry case. The company sends the pipe in a really thin silk like material. You have to baby the pipe sleeve or it will shred. There is another post on here where a guy made some rubber caps and attached them with paracord. Great idea and should work great.

I have a small, old TiGoat cylinder stove for over a decade that’s still kickin. I bought a larger Lite Outdoors cylinder a couple of years back and, after the initial burn, I’ve never been able to set it up solo again -requires a 2nd person. I’ve spent hours on 2 different trips trying to assemble it and it just will not cooperate. Incredibly frustrating.

I always put a stove end cap on the ground and build up from there. It keeps everything locked together pretty well.

Yeah, I do the same and have done that 100s of times with the TiGoat. No issue at all on the initial assembly of the Lite Outdoors, but after the burn in, I simply cannot keep the cylinder on the base plate and get the wire rings on without it falling apart unless I have another person to hold the cylinder firmly in place.
