Hi everyone!
I post in the hunting forums most of the time but wanted to get some honest feedback from people in this group.
While I cannot share a lot of info, I am working on a new prototype for a hot stove (ultralight and titanium). This will be a brand new concept and different from the current stoves on the market.
I value other peoples opinions and would love to have some feedback from members here on what things they value (and in what order) when considering a hot stove for their trips.
Below is a list of priorities that I hear people talk about. The list below is not in a particular order but I would love to hear what items you personally would look for in a ultralight titanium hot stove. You can reply with something not on the list or simply say (1, 7, and 9 are the most important to me).
When designing a new stove, there are several items that can be hard to "hit" from the list below so my goal is to focus hard on what people might consider the most important items.
In a few weeks I hope to have a finished prototype and patent and can share the design and working prototype with everyone!
1. Ease of set up - As easy/fast or faster than most stoves on the market and less small parts etc
2. Price - (at or below comparable stoves)
3. Packability (maybe not lighter but easier and less bulky to pack)
4. Lightweight - Having a lighter weight stove than the current ultralight stoves is important to me
5. Larger fire box - Usually means larger pieces of wood and longer burn times in most cases.
6. Cooking (ability to easily cook meat or warm/boil water with ease)
7. Safety - Better built in safety features (stove pipe connecting better to fire box, the ability to stake down the stove to the ground etc.
8. Visibility - Having ceramic glass to be able to see the fire when it is all closed up is important to me
9. Fire starting and fire efficiency - Easy large doors
10. Durability - I will add a few ounces of weight to have something that is thicker and more durable (likely meaning thicker titanium walls which adds more weight)
11. Visibility -
12. Fire control - Having a good flue system with good air control built into the door. Being able to choke down the fire and open up different vents to allow more air control.
