Portable Camp Stoves at Lowes

I'm thinking about modifying mine with something like this to increase the pipe size for better draft.

That looks perfect! Anybody got any leads on an inexpensive 3" roll-up stove pipe, stainless or titanium? Lots of options for 2-2.5", but can't seem to find anything in 3" that doesn't cost 4 times as much as the stove iteself!

we use an old coleman 2 burner stove - it simmers well and if we really need to tone it down use a heat diffuser ($10 online or usually $2 at the second hand store). we just bought a one burner coleman which seems to not simmer as well, but the heat diffuser takes care of that. it packs much smaller so will be our new go to for outside cooking

I have the stove running pretty good, but it wants to blow some smoke back out the front and sounds like it’s struggling for air when I have it ripping pretty good. Is that a symptom of the flue being undersized? I’m considering the 3” option but it doesn’t look like anybody’s gotten around to posting their results doing that.

Any tips from users?

Yea, its a stack problem. If you get it rolling hard enough it'll flash out from lack of air.

I'm converting mine to 3" at some point this off season to test out. I think it's gonna rip pretty good with a proper sized exhaust pipe.

My temporary solution has been to put the first section of pipe on then place my seek outside stove pipe over the top.

Thank you both. I appreciate it. I’ll update when I get it rigged up right.

I'm done with modifications and ready to test. My plan is to use my titanium 3 inch pipe from lite outdoors for the stove pipe.

I bought a flange off Amazon. Then cut a 3 inch hole in the top with a dremmel (my hole saw was too dull). Originally I planned to rivet but decided the stove would pack better if I could remove the flange (using goats to pack). So I went with bolts and wing nuts. Then I decided to but in a quality damper. It took a little grinding but it fits great now. And the damper can remain installed in the flange for transport.

I also cut off the decorative deer on the door. Then I filled the holes at the bottom with high temp jb weld ( I want full control over air flow).

I'll try to test it this weekend but there is no reason it should work really well now.

Awesome. Looking forward to hearing how it works.
