Which stove for tipi?

[Skeeter]

I have an 8-man tipi and looking to pick up a wood burning stove. Looking at the Tigoat WiFi and the Seek Outside, but can't decide. I like the ease of setup with the WiFi, but I like the large opening on the SO stove. Any suggestions?

Have you considered the Canadian Lite Outdoors? It's the one I went with.

I have looked at lite outdoors and would consider them as an option as well. Looks to be a little more cumbersome to put together than the Wifi, but certainly looks like a nice stove. That's the problem...they all look nice, and each has features I like.

I just picked up the 18in lite outdoors laat week. Haven't used it, but put it together. With the new rods it goes together faster and its more stable. I went with it just because of the big door. That seems like a big advantage at bed time but I also like keeping the door open and watching the fire roar so the big door should be great. If I remember right everything in the bags straight outta the ups box with 8ft pipe and baffle weighed 3.4ibs. I'm looking forward to using the baffle, If it works it will direct more heat to the tent instead of up the pipe, thus you use less wood and longer burns times.

Maybe I need to look closer at the lite outdoors. I didn't realize (or notice) that it had a baffle. I watched some older videos of one being put together. Not too difficult, but more pieces to keep up with than the WiFi and setup takes a bit longer.

 

[Mischief209]

I couldn't find any updated videos of the stove either other than a quick 30secs of a fire burning in the new door. They didn't show much else. I believe it's only been out a few months,same with the baffle.

 

[Skeeter]

Does it use rods rather than wire tensioner now? Also, is the baffle a separate piece?

 

[Mischief209]

2 titanium rods up top, now it supports a pot. Cable at the bottom. I may call and order 1 more rod if the wire doesnt work out. The baffle is a separate sheet that slips inside. There is a youtube video on the prototype baffle and how it works.

New to stoves myself, but love my TI Goat 16'' cyl. 1# 13oz all included with a 8' pipe and stuff sacks.

Hi Reaper, is that my stove that I got from you?
Or another one of yours?

Skeeter,
Copied and pasted my comments on baffles in a wood stove. Have attached pics of my large Wi-Fi and a Sheppard stove. Both are good choices if you demand a flat top unit. The cylinder stoves are usually the lightest and are modular. Can have different size bodies to configure a large or small unit with the same base stove. The SO and Sheppard seem to have the largest door openings.

"I think if you go to 4-dog website they discribe a baffle in their Titanium stoves. The claim being that it helps the stove hold heat and also may increase burn time. I too agree that in a typical ultralight tent stove (with a tiny fire box) may have little to gain with this option. Attached is a picture of a HPG Sheppard stove. This size stove (or a simular unit with a larger fire box) just might benifit from a baffle with out eating up all the available interior space. AttachmentView attachment 38448 It only makes sence if the fire has to follow a channel in the stove before the heat goes up the pipe, the result would be more retained heat. Cool thread! Something to think about if I ever choose to build my own stove." LaGriz

That HPG stove pictured above looks like a great design. I've heard they were developing a mid-size as well, but when I check their website it appears they haven't had any stoves in stock for quite some time.

That was great,thanks alot. If I found that earlier I wouldn't have contimplated buying it for 3 weeks, I would have ordered right after that video. I thought about making a video of the first time putting together and first burn to help people out with the new design but you did a great job. I still may since I haven't put it together yet.

I've had a Lite Outdoors 18" stove with the new door and Ti rods for almost a year now and used it many times. I like it, but it isnt without its issues. It can certainly be a serious PITA to assemble and thew new door is heavy since it is all stainless. I also do not like the lack of a dedicated damper to connect the pipe to the stove body. It simply just sits in the hole in the body and mine is now bent to hell and back allowing a lot of smoke to leak out.

I think Id rather have the box stove from Seek Outside, but when I bought the Lite Outdoors it was much cheaper.

This is why when i was using the LOD stove i bought a damper-set from Seekoutside,no damper or collar for the pipe it was i hated about this stove.

Doesn't lite outdoors make a dampner in the pipe and steel rings on the end so the pipe doesn't get damaged?
