- This video was inspired by my friend Jc McD who asked this very valid question. How long will it burn with the dampers closed. I guessed about 6 hours. I was wrong! I got 8 hours of hot heat and called it quits there. watch the video for the details.
Enjoy
Great video....just uploaded my review as well and discovered that same thing. I did make some modifications set up with my tent by lowering the double wall pipe section lower than what is shown in my video. The holes on the double wall pipe need to be below the roof line of your tent ( inside ) not outside like I did in my video. I was at 60 degrees outside temp at night for my test. I got 8 hours with closed front baffle but I did not close off the damper on the chimney pipe because I am in a tent. See page 2 , DANGER 7 in the WINNERWELL manual. You risk Carbon Monoxide poisoning if you close the damper on the chimney pipe. Anyway I was burning 3 pieces of red oak 16 inches long about 4 inches in diameter....a little moisture in them and I got a range from 750 degrees to 400 degrees at 6 hours ( It did burn longer but I didn't care at that point because I am only looking for 6 hours because that is all I need in sleep for a tent application ).
I added a temp gauge that is designed for a cast iron wood stove ( at about 16 inches above the cook top ) the type with a magnet on it...and placed mine directly on the cook top because magnets don't stick to stainless steel.....I am looking for a temp gauge now that I can install on the chimney pipe that won't require drilling a hole now so I can save room on the stove top. You are right about Mesquite too....just wish we had it here in North Carolina....but Locust is super hard and is the closest I have found to Mesquite in the Smokey Mountains. Make sure you don't close off that top Air Flow damper when you put this thing inside your tent yes you will lose heat by keeping it open but with the fact that you have 60 inches of stove pipe inside of your tent that heat loss is radiated through the pipe inside of your tent. Be Safe.
Nice write up. Lots of great info here.
I would point out that it is bad practice to close the chimney damper. Most of the time. If you have a hot fire roaring and you close the air flow damper and the chimney damper you will get smoke leaking out into your tent. It'll be obvious that you just messed up. With a smoldering pile of logs there isn't enough pressure in the stove to blow back out the seams and thus you'll just be maintaining a smoldering pile. The chimney damper on the winnerwell pipe doesn't actually close off all the way,, so your stove can still breath.. I STRONGLY recommend anyone using a camp stove in your tent. Buy a portable carbon monoxide detector. They're cheap, small and portable and run on batterries. Just like a smoke detector. Buy it, use it, wake up the next day.
@@angrybeard4673 Safety first absolutely. I also thought the same thing about keeping the front damper open or even cracked a bit allowing for increase pressure with a fresh air intake and that is how we use our Home Wood Burning unit...otherwise if we close it we do just get a smoldering mess with not much heat...but after my test which of course was only once...I found that the pressure was fine and I had roaring flame for hours with the front damper closed off completely.....perhaps the seams on the stainless steel stove allows for more fresh air intake? Not sure...I will play around with it some more...but I found even if I cracked it about 1/4 inch open my stove got way too hot...It cranked up to over 800 degrees. I am sure this will be a learning curve for us all. But so far I am very impressed with set up....gonna make the wife happy for our hunting trip this year...tired of throwing money away on propane. We were spending about $100.00 a week on those green cylinders in the winter running about 5 per day using our Little Buddy....plus the benefit of cooking and having hot water...I might have just found a new man cave. Of course we realize this is not for everyone or the occasional car camper but we are Adventurers and use our tent twice a month during the winter and hunting this year will be so much more enjoyable. Be Safe. BTW...your review was the only one I found on RUclips that was worth watching great job. I don't post RUclips videos any longer but you can find me.
Thanks for the support and kind words. I can tell you that your on the right track. Or at least the same track that I'm on with regards to your thoughts on the stove. Fully closed it does seem to draw in enough air around the seems. Which is expected. Right? I mean if you look at the wood stove in your house you'll find that there is a piece of fiberglass rope in a channel to seal it off. So when damper is closed then. Your stove is really closed. Additionally. These camp stoves pump out a lot of heat because they are thin. There is no fire brick inside or a half inch thick iron steel to heat soak first. Whatever heat is on the inside of these stoves is also immediately realized on the outside. Getting rid of your propane heater is a huge plus. There is just something about a real wood fire.
at first i thought you said dude instead of dew😂
Thanks for the great video good to know how long it burns mind should be here in a couple of weeks I already have one wood burning stove but I'm getting the large winter well Doubleview mad information thank you again best regards from Mick Australia
Excellent video. I've subscribed.
Awesome video
You have to get the John Goodman lookalike sometimes.
Thanx for videos ,
great information -
? any videos on "3 legs" ?
No. I havnt done any videos that specifically talk about the stove and 3 legs. Though I have done several different videos of the stove. The 3 legs are solid and stable and don't concern me in the least.
@@angrybeard4673 Thank You
What would you say the radius of heat coming off this thing is?
We have a covered patio that we're thinking about putting underneath and routing the pipe over and out from under the roof.
Thoughts?
If it's just a roof but not an enclosed patio. I think I would pass and find something else. It gets hot and it radiates alot of heat. But remember the stove isn't huge. Imagine a bundle of wood equal to say a shoe box. Well that's all the heat potential your going to have availiavle to you if you use this stove.
@@angrybeard4673 Thanks for this response. Any suggestions on what might work re: a covered patio that's walled off on two sides?
I'm afraid I can't make any recommendations. To much missing information. Dimensions, material used in construction, climate. A larger wood stove comes to mind. Possibly a large propane heater such as one for a house or shop. Potentially build a wood stove out of a 55 gallon metal drum or a smaller one such as 30 gallon. If you go that route. The food grade barrels are thicker metal and you should line them with firebrick. They will last almost forever and put out a ton of heat. A barrel stove in my opinion is the best heat producing fireplace ever. You just don't see them used anymore because of govt. Red tape and insurance companies. There is no UL number on a barrel stove. Baisically. The powers that be done want you to be able to build your own stove so if your place burns down. Your screwed once the investigation is over and they have decided your unapproved fireplace is the reason your place burned up. They won't cover your losses.
What's the advantage of the round bottom style vs the square bottom ?
As I recall, the only way to get a stove with 3 legs was to get the round bottom stove. The advantage is really in 3 legs vs 4 legs. 3 legs find their way better on uneven ground than 4 legs. A 4 legged stove on uneven ground can find itself being tippy A 3 legged stove won’t. That and I liked the way the round one looked.
Also seems easier to get ash out the door opening w round bottom.
