Another note. You can buy 3" double wall chimney and to replace/extend the chimney depending on your install. I wanted a little more insulation between the chimney and my Kodiak tent and needed it to rise well above the roof. This did the trick.
The fire box is zinc galvanized coated which will gas off when burned at over 360 degrees. Anyone who buys one of these should first get a fire going as hot as you can outside to burn off the galvanized coating before putting it indoors.
Mine didn't have the manual by some fluke.... I couldn't breathe right for like 5 months and still kinda feel weak lunged... could barely breathe at all for the first month....be careful with the off gas man!
I have the larger, outdoor woodstove, which is identical to that one, but bigger and, I have it in my 16' bell tent. These work amazingly!!! I can even use mine to heat my house, from our basement, during a power outage and, it works great. Easy to cook a full meal on, too!! Simply a great product for a great price.
Great review. I just never even gave that model a thought because I assumed it couldn’t be worth a damn. Your video proves otherwise. Thanks for sharing.
Stove looks well made and for that price it really got my attention . Beside that I just subscribed. Your video was well made, the other projects you have got me looking forward to seeing some of your build videos. Thanks for sharing

I would add fire bricks to line the bottom of the firebox. Too much creosote is from burning lumber instead of seasoned timber. Just take the pipe off, stand it in a barrel, and, bang it. Regular maintenance.
Really nice! I want one to burn limbs and such in. I would rub it down with crisco and let it burn until it quit smoking to retard any rust. Same as I do my cast iron pans.
That is a nice stove. But since I’m a welder on the side, I made a few out of RV sized 20gal propane tanks. The tanks I got for free, as it’s cheaper that way. 😆

It will throw out some heat. i had the whole stove glowing hot

Thanks for watching. I've read comments on the website for these concerning the same thing. Others love them. I wasn't too worried about smoking out the door in my application. A very good draft seems to be super important with these I guess. Have a great evening.
RVs are pretty much air tight. You have to have air coming into the heater Firebox from somewhere. Did YOU read the INSTRUCTIONS that came with the heater BEFORE assembling it? Companies spend a Lot of money on instructions so people will use their products correctly and safely.
From what people have been saying here, I like the winter well brand. They are stainless steel. I would rather pay more for good quality then get a pile of scrap that you have to alter. I want American made stove...might be good for the patio or outdoor cooking at home but not traveling with..
I don't know about building with used pallet wood, but I have been cautioned against burning it, even for outside fires due to the chemicals which may have been absorbed by the wood during its useful life. I know that you aren't burning it, but I wonder if the shed wood might off-gas in contact with the smoke and heat.
After a few smokings the inside gets pretty coated with liquid smoke and after awhile it’s pretty much glossy. Thanks for watching and commenting…much appreciated.

I used stainless chimney liner to pipe into the smokehouse. It’s about 6’ long. Burning low to get smoke doesn’t heat up the pipe much at all. I’ve piped this way into wood smoke houses since the 80’s. Never had a fire (knock on wood).
It’s a Sportsman’s Guide “Guide Gear” stove. Here’s a link to their larger stove. They may have discontinued the small one. www.sportsmansguide.com/product/index/guide-gear-large-outdoor-wood-stove?a=2233231
Keep in mind that I've only used it for a couple weeks, that being said, so far so good ruclips.net/user/postUgkxAU9pOCSV9Y5JprooHvfxTpOrt4hx8uRM . Using it at 8 ft. by 8ft. deer blind that is insulated. I have to keep the door cracked for it to get enough air to burn, but that is very likely the wood I've used. Much better quality than I expected for the price. Now if I can just take it easy in the beginning it won't be 90 degrees in my blind. All in all it seems like a keeper.
The only thing i see wrong is the so called bells on the stove pipe are ass backwards the upper pipe should always go inside of the lower pipe so creosote runs inside of the lower pipe not outside all over the outside of the pipe and all over the stove top.
Wait a minute!! That tall pipe is to produce draft up the chimney! If you run that pipe horizontal you have just lost most of your draft and it will be harder for the stove to burn correctly.
Thanks for watching. As long as the end of the pipe is above the outlet of the stove there is going to be a draft. I’ve run almost horizontally out of smoke chambers on different smoke houses since the 80’s. Stove pipes can be run horizontally. Many older homes had stovepipes run across rooms to expend as much heat as possible before exiting outdoors.
Thanks for watching. I used a piece of flexible stainless chimney liner. I crimped the stove end by cutting 2” in from the end about 12 times and then crimped the pipe by hand to fit the stove opening. It works for my smokehouse installation
Yes sir I just paid 155.00 with tax and another 50 for the side racks and log rack for inside it , Biden is the reason for the increase, I love this stove though heat's my 12 x10 Ozark trail north fork hot tent to 88 degrees in about 15 minutes lol
Thanks for watching. Calling them outdoor wood stoves shields them from litigation I believe. What exactly is an “ outdoor wood stove” ?

This is far more substantial than the little stove we used in the basement when I was growing up. The government is far too intrusive with regulations - like an overprotective nanny. Why should it be illegal to "camp" permanently? Some of us really prefer primitive conditions.
Thanks for watching. If the draft isn’t good you’re going to get smoke backup with any stove. If the stove is burning hot with a strong draft backup is minimal. When I use mine for smoking it is dampened down and not very hot so yes then the smoke comes out the door.

Because the stove pipes fit outside of each other, not only creosote but rain water would find its way in.
maybe a burn tube so as to not need cleanout ?

Thanks for watching. I don’t burn it as a heater. I use it as a smoke producer for my smokehouse. So that’s not a good comparison.
Where did you find fittings for that stove pipe? I can't seem to find the correct size.
The stove is made to vent straight up like most tent stoves. You may have to have the fittings that are close sized by a stove installer.
