Love that you used this hard before posted a video compared to one camp out. All videos seem the same pitch tent cook, sleep, pack up lol. At least you test and give honest review thanks for that
Thorough testing! TY. Want to know the following: 1. Do you believe it is safe enough to use while sleeping? 2. Would you use it inside an enclosed shed with, of course, chimney attached or would you get smoked out from the holes/openings in the unit; 3. Has your hopper ever caught fire? If so, why? TYVM
I smoked myself out suddenly after less than 24 hours because the spark arrester became plugged with creosote. I was burning clean pine pallet wood. I learned that stovepipe maintenance daily is a must with traditional hot tent stoves. I hate to be a cliche but this is a game changer for winter camping.
How cold was it? Any rain or snow? I’ve ran 200pounds of mix through it and not much in the pipes at all. Spark arrester too. Sorry you had a problem. Were you awake? Thanks for watching
@@AdventureswithSpackmann Luckily I was awake. The temp was in the upper 20's. It was some sort of one off event. I have burnt it for days before with no problem. It is a mid quality stove that can actually last about 3 hours at night damped down with a good bed of coals. I would hope that the lack of creosote would make the stove pipe come apart easier. on my stove the creostote works into the pipe joints making disassembly difficult.
First the bunkbed cot and now this pellet stove. This is the list of awesome reviews from Spackman of products I wanted to buy but were immediately sold out
Do I need one? No. Do I want one after watching this video? Yes! I was lookin at this stove last week and assumed it was pretty much identical to the previous stoves like this you have looked at. So this was a timely video.
@ I have no long term consecutive experience with a pellet stove but to be safe I would check it every few days and go from there as you see how it works.
Was going to buy this one but it was 20lbs lighter (thinner metal) than the other pellet stove you reviewed and also this one is 430 stainless where the other one is 304 which is much more rust resistant. I also didnt like the pipe out of the rear, i feel the top exhaust of the old style without the elbow will last longer and it takes up less space. Ive put 300lbs thru the old style and made a few modifcations with a couple more to come. Overall very happy with it and glad my oven does not catch ash. I do wish mine had that front door tho because cleaning without breaking down would be much easier.
@AdventureswithSpackmann first i sealed the hopper with metal tape from the inside so it can still be broken down if needed, i also added two rods across the bottom of the burn chamber strapped in with wire so it stopped dumping half burnt pellets into the ash box which also increased the burn time and cut the ash buildup by about half. My next mod is to make a tapered metal plate to go inside the hopper on top of the pellets which will ride down and close off the hopper when it empties. I will also be cutting two plates to sit between the flanges of the burn chamber and hopper slide as a simple height adjustment for a low high setting which will be non adjustable once the stove is lit. And lastly i plan to add latches to lock the hopper to the stove.
@andrewscotti1136 the burn chamber wire addition sounds awesome! Any idea how much burn time it added? Just curious, no half burnt pellets is is enough reason to add that. The plate in the hopper is a great idea but be careful, building pressure in the hopper can cause it to pop if gases go up into it and they ignite. I may or may not have found that out the hard way.
@@AdventureswithSpackmann im getting around 6hrs on a full hopper now and yes i have had a few hopper fires with the trial and error chamber mods but i added a third bar in the bottom of the chamber and no hopper fires and ash is mostly powder at this point. i was getting around 3hrs max before the bars.
When it comes to wood use in tent stoves. I say if you have to bring your own wood (instead of foraging for wood), it might be better to get a pellet stove. Pellets are cheap and can be made from nearly any plant based biomass.
Well bro I have been with you since the first one you tested that I also bought and since then from others you tested there seems to be a steady improvement of design especially the hopper lol that one is scary it's like it came from a metal shop class you had to put together in slots and bend them to stay in place. That stove pretty sure was your highest burned count😂 This one is a major improvement and I think in time all the kinks will get worked out and a pellet stove will be perfect for warmth and cooking while hot tent camping.
It's definitely neat and takes away a lot of the issues with a standard hot tent setup but If it's several hundred dollars like I'm sure it is it makes you start to question If it's really worth it. Especially when you can buy a diesel heater off of Amazon for like a hundred bucks and use it with any tent or your car or anything else with a lot less hassle.
I have this stove and it’s been amazing so far. Now that I have the pellet stove that is capable of turning into a normal wood stove I want to try green stove’s normal wood stove that is pellet capable. Kind of wish I got that one first as it seems more versatile…I don’t see myself doing much baking in the oven.
Great review. it's clear. I bought my bell tent a few months ago, and I thought I was ready for the wooden stove. Then I got your video, so i want to buy this stove, but I can't find it online. If anyone knows where I can get it, your help will be highly appreciated.
So glad you have this stove. Not knowing a lot about them but seeing it on another channel, it’s great to hear you compare it to others. Also very happy to have found your channel in the last couple days. Nice to see you test it as a wood stove also.
Great review but if I’m camping and it’s between a pellet/wood stove or diesel heater then I’m picking the latter. Will last all night and you can set the temp with instant heat. Can always enjoy a fire outside.
Depends how far away and how long from roads you're going. Diesel heater requires diesel obviously but battery too. None of which mother nature can replace. If I start out with some pellets in a sled trailer, I can transition to collected wood indefinitely after the pellets are gone. Diesel heater the battery dies, you're done. The diesel units are nice and cheap all depends on the situation.
Thanks for the video! You really explained everything well. Quick question, do you think you its possible to start the pellets with wood burning underneath to ignite? Something like taking an already lit wood from the campfire to start this pellet tent stove at night.
I’m sure it’s possible, recommended, doubt it. The ash pan can definitely hold some hot coals so you could try it if you wanted to. Thanks for watching
As always you have a good video, Merry Christmas to you and your family, hope it's okay to say that to you 😊 , just wondering if you have to clean out the stove,,, say if you have a wood fire during the day,,then you want to switch to pellets for the night?
I’m not sure you have to clean it out for the pellets, as long as the air intakes are closed for the wood stove you may be fine. But I haven’t done that so don’t take my word for it. Merry Christmas and thanks for watching
Another company makes that design "not on amazon" and the bottom vent is not to be used with pellets. Only with wood. It also has a pellet feed volume slide. To either make it burn hotter/more pellets. Or less
@@AdventureswithSpackmannwhat they said to me when emailed them last week and next year will have more. Amazon out and their sight isn’t much left in stock
Hopefully back in stock soon. Pellet stoves like this with the oven on the bottom maybe great for ice fishing as they don’t throw much heat down: Thanks for watching
A few minor engineering changes to a conventional wood stove and the efficiency is far superior to pellets, without the incredible maintenance costs. Low cost occasional amazon fans, Fire brick replacement etc, and anti-sieze for the automated damper are all I require.
@@AdventureswithSpackmann trying to get on their order list, thanks Bro for your input ,looking forward to more of your cool and honest educational reviews on the products you try and uses .
Hi Spackman! Love the channel and just subscribed. Keep it up I had a question, you mentioned that this was the "least funny for this pellet stove design". Could you share your most favorite pellet stove make/model please? Thanks!
My favorite is the giraffe stove with pellet hopper attachment. I have a lot of videos on it. I get over 12 hours of burn time out it. It can’t be used with a floor though. Glad you enjoyed the videos! Welcome to the channel. Thanks for watching
Im literally out in my springbar skyliner and woke up to feed my large woodlander. This stove seems to be a game changer. Could this work for my current setup .. elbows?
It does work with elbows but you need enough vertical draw after the elbows to create draft. Use at your own risk. But sounds like a bigger better stove would also solve your issue. Thanks for watching
Amazon listing is sold out. This looks like a nice backup heat source if electricity goes out. Although I'd have to find a way to route the exhaust outside of the house.
A question about the oven. I just watched another RUclipsr review the same stove and didn't seem to have the ash problem you did. Cooked a pizza and cookies. I'm wondering if you were missing the piece of metal you mentioned?
No I believe he over extended the closure for the ash box. I have since done that myself and solved the problem. I had mine perfectly in line with the ash box originally. Thanks for watching
@@AdventureswithSpackmann LOL... Average temp, during winter, where I am in Ottawa is around -4F with wind chill of -22F. On really cold days, it can go to -22F with wind chill of -49F. And the odd time, I've felt it, with wind chill, at -58F. Whenever it gets to around -5F, I'm out there in a T-shirt. :P
Over the river and through the woods, past the giant oak tree in 3rd meadow on the east side of mossy oaks you will find a rock that has no business being in a meadow in mossy oaks, under that rock you will find specific instructions on the hidden location of Walmart, Lowe’s, Home Depot or any other box store that sells them. Thanks for watching
That thing is sweet. The biggest issue with all of these tiny little hot tent stoves is the short burn time. Nobody wants to get up and feed the stove every couple hours all night long. This basically solves that problem, at least if you are truck camping. Nobody is going hiking with 40lbs of pellets, but with a truck or snow machine, you could be warm and get a decent night's sleep.
The stove isn’t light either so there’s no backpacking it lol. Definitely need a sled or a snow machine for any distance at all. It’s really nice to sleep all night. Thanks for watching
I want a wood stove and a hot tent. One day, I'll get one. But on another note, my wife came in while I was watching, and she says "oh the guy who farts and burns himself, wonder when one of his farts are going to blow him up" 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@Adventureswithspacmann I watched another review on this stove and there was no ashes in the oven with over 12 hours of burn time. Also cooked in it as well. Maybe he has a defective stove possibly.
@MrJaketheace the only thing I can think is the back wall of the ash box may not have been completely “open” or closed depending on how you look at it. Or the other review had the door hyper extended so caught the ash, not sure. Thanks for watching
@jeremywallace1215 ohh I have not, but you can pipe any air to any stove. I’ve only experimented with cold air in a stove once. I’m not sure I noticed any difference so I don’t do that anymore. That was a regular wood stove also.
Too bad you need to take the hopper off to use the wood stove option. Would be nice to switch between the two fuel sources easily without taking another apart.
I think you can.The burn basket remains in the upper half of the stove body,drop down the ash pan end wall add your wood and fire away the smoke will still travel the same route only now the smoke will pass through the pellet burn basket without any trouble,I would cover over the series of pre-drilled holes in the pellet hopper s lid with metal tape to reduce oxygen entering from the hopper cover.Should work perfectly
Happy Sunday Chris! Man your giraffe wood stove must be jealous right now since you’re in the arms of another at the moment. Nice looking stove. It must fit that inflated tent perfectly. Cheers, hope your thanksgiving was a good one as well! It makes a full year since that last time I accidentally called you on messenger thanksgiving night. Have a great one.
lol I miss your thanksgiving call. Hope you had a great one too. Happy Sunday bro! Giraffe stove is going to be ok, I said this is my favorite of this design lol. Giraffe is still on top. Thanks for watching
'Worth the money or juss funny' NICE im stealin that one. If this was around about 5 yrs ago...i woulda given it a run. I ran a wood stove for my cabelas hot tent for deer camp. Loved it but it was too much work. Last thing i wanna do after a long cold day huntin is coming back to be a lumberjack before gettin heat. I have since moved on from wood stoves. But this one is wayy better designed and the burn time is great. Thnx for the review.
Better may not be the right word but, pellets are a set it and forget option. With a large hopper you can burn longer than wood(in most stoves). If you have to buy firewood, pellets can also be cheaper. They are less fuss and easier to use in my opinion. They can allow for a longer sleep before reloading too. Biggest pro maybe less sparks to burn your tent. They are very clean also. Thanks for watching
I use a wood stove at home since I live in the mountains, pellets or compressed wood logs last longer,burn hot and cleaner. When you use wood (I use that too) it all depends on the kind of wood you use, pine burns fast and hot initially but too fast and produces lots of soot, oak, ash wood etc, lasts way longer but you’ll need softer wood to get it very hot before inserting it, the hard woods mentioned above would be close to impossible to bring for a camping stove (at home is different) because of the weight and almost impossible to split in small pieces to fit the camping ones, when you see videos of people splitting wood for camping stoves looks easy because they’re using soft ones which means you’ll have to get up often to keep feeding and your chute will have to be cleaned often. All around pellets or compressed wood is much more practical, efficient, cleaner and warmer than most wood. Sorry, long explanation but I hope it helps you make a decision.
I do have a bigger one. The Giraffe Stove with the pellet attachment is bigger. And hoping to be able to show a new bigger one soon. Thanks for watching
Seems unrealistic to expect anyone to carry something this large and heavy along with enough pellets to last for days into the woods on an extended backcountry camping trip unless you're using a sled or snow mobile. But for average backpackers, it's just too heavy and bulky. But a compact and light wood burning stove that burns split logs from downed wood needs to be stoked every few hours to keep the fire alive, which is also unrealistic if you want a restful night's sleep. So I wonder if it's possible to make a hybrid of the two designs, a compact and light wood burning stove with a small auto-feed baler that accepts downed wood that's been chopped up into golf or tennis ball chips, along with broken twigs and small branches. That ought to last all night if properly designed and used. Sure, there would be more initial work to set up the stove and chop up that wood, but you get to sleep all night warm and toasty and don't have to get up once, except maybe to pee, and you'll be warm when you do.
I made the mistake of buying a pellet camp stove, regret ever since! I'm telling you now before you make mistake, bringing pellets is a pain! And say you forget them at home, they are not always available to buy! But even if they are dragging 40lbs per bag around is no fun! And we use about 7 bags per trip! It's fine I your camping rite next to your truck, but if doing any walking forget about it! Wood is always available!
I don’t think it’s meant to travel with. I’d also like to add that wood isn’t always available. I camp in an area that gets feet of snow. You aren’t allowed to cut anything that is standing and once more than 2 feet of snow falls, finding wood is impossible. So I think they may have their place but trekking miles with them isn’t it. Thanks for watching
Buyers Beware, Received unit bent and smoking from Amazon. Was told I would receive new unit but never did as they currently have no more available do to purchases and having to replace units. Now I receive ed a message stating I can even leave a bad review because my review mentioned the unit may have been garbage from the factory or may have been damaged from Amazon shipping.

Sweet design being able to have both options and the burn times are pretty good to last an overnight with the right pellets
Heck yeah man! I saw someone say they got 10 hours out of a hopper. Thanks for watching
Errr, Kindling!
I think you'll find that Kinderling is a noun for eating a lot of chocolate eggs!
Lmao sorry. Thanks for watching
Where does one go to harvest pellets in the wild?
Over the river and through the woods, past the giant oak tree in 3rd meadow on the east side of mossy oaks you will find a rock that has no business being in a meadow in mossy oaks, under that rock you will find specific instructions on the hidden location of Walmart, Lowe’s, Home Depot or any other box store that sells them. Thanks for watching
The only complaint i have with this stove is the pellet cage burnt through after only 5 uses. Did you have the same problem?
Wow no I have not had that problem. I’ve burnt a lot of pellets through it too. How much burn time do you think I’ve had with it? Thanks for watching
What kinda tent are you in? How well did it warm you up?
I’m in the 12x10 inflatable hot tent from Oliezi. It does a pretty good job heating it. Thanks for watching
Great review! Aold out everywhere but how much was it on Amazon?
I believe it’s around $300 but could be wrong. Hopefully it’s back in stock soon. Thanks for watching
@AdventureswithSpackmann hopefully I'll be ready to buy if they ever stock up. Keep up the great work!
They must add a 2nd glass door , when using wood
Where do you think the door should be? Thanks for watching
Awesome video. The oven opens up so many possibilities. Keep living the dream 😉. Thanks.
Thank you so much!
can you make your own "pellets" by just breaking twigs into small pieces, or does that not really work?
I have no idea how well that would work. Thanks for watching
It is possible to get a machine that will turn sawdust into pellets.
So you lose the oven toburn logs?
Correct. Thanks for watching
Too bad there are all sold out. I need this!!
Should be back soon. Thanks for watching
That thing is sweet. The biggest issue with all of these tiny little hot tent stoves is the short burn time. Nobody wants to get up and feed the stove every couple hours all night long. This basically solves that problem, at least if you are truck camping. Nobody is going hiking with 40lbs of pellets, but with a truck or snow machine, you could be warm and get a decent night's sleep.
The stove isn’t light either so there’s no backpacking it lol. Definitely need a sled or a snow machine for any distance at all. It’s really nice to sleep all night. Thanks for watching
Very cool stove! Thanks for the review
You’re welcome. Thanks for watching
How do you make wood pellets in the woods/wilderness?
By eating sticks and pooping them out. Thanks for watching
Spackmann risking his precious life just for you and me to know what pellets stove to buy or not 💪
Heck yeah bro! That’s what I’m here for. Thanks for watching
Gotta say Mr. Spackmann. Really like that one. Great job brother.
Thank you bro!
Appears pretty well thought out. Get some burn cream lol. Nice video boss.
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching
Is the furndoor good?
I’ve never tried it. Sorry. Thanks for watching
@AdventureswithSpackmann no prob man it a great price online might spend a little more for that hopper lol
Pellets are pretty nice. But those who burn wood do not necessarily have to go to the store for their fuel.
True. Thanks for watching
They must be doing a huge marketing push, it's sold out on amazon and their site. Great price though, I can see why it's not staying on shelves.
I wish they stocked up before the marketing push. Thanks for watching
I feel like it will come back in stock next season with large price increase!
I want a wood stove and a hot tent. One day, I'll get one. But on another note, my wife came in while I was watching, and she says "oh the guy who farts and burns himself, wonder when one of his farts are going to blow him up"
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Lmao I just hope it’s on camera. But seriously hope I don’t go by passing gas lol. Thanks for watching
Figures… I just got the solowilder .
Did you see my video on the solowilder? Thanks for watching
Ashes in the baking zone is unacceptable. That zone seems more like an ash catcher. Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it. Some ash when camping is just part of the meal lol. Thanks for watching
@Adventureswithspacmann I watched another review on this stove and there was no ashes in the oven with over 12 hours of burn time. Also cooked in it as well. Maybe he has a defective stove possibly.
@MrJaketheace the only thing I can think is the back wall of the ash box may not have been completely “open” or closed depending on how you look at it. Or the other review had the door hyper extended so caught the ash, not sure. Thanks for watching
😢one day my friend you will end a video with burn count zero. What a glorious day that will be😂
I hope not lol. I like counting them. Thanks for watching
Have you ever found a pellet stove that uses a separate air intake
Separate from what? Thanks for watching
Cold air from outside
@jeremywallace1215 ohh I have not, but you can pipe any air to any stove. I’ve only experimented with cold air in a stove once. I’m not sure I noticed any difference so I don’t do that anymore. That was a regular wood stove also.
That stove looks amazing bro, and yea, exactly -5c lol
Seriously? I was spot on? Thanks for watching
Amazon says its not available
Hopefully it's back in stock soon. Thanks for watching.
Very cool! Sweet chair.
You have a wonderful day brother.
You too bro! Thanks for watching
@AdventureswithSpackmann you are very welcome brother! You folks stay safe up there
WANT!!❤
It’s pretty cool! Thanks for watching
@AdventureswithSpackmann your review is very helpful 🤌🤌🤌
@AdventureswithSpackmann ... and...they are sold out 😭
@ glad you think so! Thank you.
@ hopefully they restock soon.
That’s the best pellet stove I’ve seen. I’m in. When are u sending it out. Lol
It’s already in the mail lol. Thanks for watching
Excellent review, seams like a well designed duel fuel stove.
Glad you liked the review. Thanks for watching
Too bad you need to take the hopper off to use the wood stove option. Would be nice to switch between the two fuel sources easily without taking another apart.
That would be cool. Thanks for watching
I think you can.The burn basket remains in the upper half of the stove body,drop down the ash pan end wall add your wood and fire away the smoke will still travel the same route only now the smoke will pass through the pellet burn basket without any trouble,I would cover over the series of pre-drilled holes in the pellet hopper s lid with metal tape to reduce oxygen entering from the hopper cover.Should work perfectly
@ I have my doubts the smoke would travel the same path with the burn chamber in place. Nice theory though. Thanks for watching
I just looked at these this morning lol. Out of stock 😔
Darn I was too late. Sorry. Did Baums video make you look? Thanks for watching
@ could of been. I was just scrolling. I only subscribe to a couple.
Gotcha.
@@AdventureswithSpackmann the one I watched never showed the wood option 😎
@ glad I did lol
A piece of foil on top of what you're baking should stop the ashes from falling on your food
Easy fix right there. Thanks for watching
Happy Sunday Chris! Man your giraffe wood stove must be jealous right now since you’re in the arms of another at the moment. Nice looking stove. It must fit that inflated tent perfectly.
Cheers, hope your thanksgiving was a good one as well! It makes a full year since that last time I accidentally called you on messenger thanksgiving night. Have a great one.
lol I miss your thanksgiving call. Hope you had a great one too. Happy Sunday bro! Giraffe stove is going to be ok, I said this is my favorite of this design lol. Giraffe is still on top. Thanks for watching
Lets make some coffee!
Heck yeah. Thanks for watching
'Worth the money or juss funny' NICE im stealin that one. If this was around about 5 yrs ago...i woulda given it a run. I ran a wood stove for my cabelas hot tent for deer camp. Loved it but it was too much work. Last thing i wanna do after a long cold day huntin is coming back to be a lumberjack before gettin heat. I have since moved on from wood stoves. But this one is wayy better designed and the burn time is great. Thnx for the review.
You’re welcome. Worth the money or Just funny is a registered trademark of AWS inc lol. Thanks for watching
Man this stove is a beast! I wanna order one of these, but sold out everywhere!
Hopefully it’s back in stock soon. Thanks for watching
Not available 😢😢

Can someone explain to me why pellets are better than wood?
Better may not be the right word but, pellets are a set it and forget option. With a large hopper you can burn longer than wood(in most stoves). If you have to buy firewood, pellets can also be cheaper. They are less fuss and easier to use in my opinion. They can allow for a longer sleep before reloading too. Biggest pro maybe less sparks to burn your tent. They are very clean also. Thanks for watching
I use a wood stove at home since I live in the mountains, pellets or compressed wood logs last longer,burn hot and cleaner. When you use wood (I use that too) it all depends on the kind of wood you use, pine burns fast and hot initially but too fast and produces lots of soot, oak, ash wood etc, lasts way longer but you’ll need softer wood to get it very hot before inserting it, the hard woods mentioned above would be close to impossible to bring for a camping stove (at home is different) because of the weight and almost impossible to split in small pieces to fit the camping ones, when you see videos of people splitting wood for camping stoves looks easy because they’re using soft ones which means you’ll have to get up often to keep feeding and your chute will have to be cleaned often. All around pellets or compressed wood is much more practical, efficient, cleaner and warmer than most wood. Sorry, long explanation but I hope it helps you make a decision.
@carmenmartinez2882 interesting
warm tent makes a night so much better. fyi, the stove is currently unavailable
It sure does! I’m hoping it’s back in stock soon. Thanks for watching
Stoves are sold out
Hopefully they are back in stock soon. Thanks for watching
Too bad these companies make them so small. Would love to see one with a 4 or 5 inch chimney big enough for a large canvas wall tent.
I do have a bigger one. The Giraffe Stove with the pellet attachment is bigger. And hoping to be able to show a new bigger one soon. Thanks for watching
Looks pretty Whoopass indeed ! can’t wait to burn it in . Thanks for the review
You’re welcome. Thanks for watching
Seems unrealistic to expect anyone to carry something this large and heavy along with enough pellets to last for days into the woods on an extended backcountry camping trip unless you're using a sled or snow mobile. But for average backpackers, it's just too heavy and bulky.
But a compact and light wood burning stove that burns split logs from downed wood needs to be stoked every few hours to keep the fire alive, which is also unrealistic if you want a restful night's sleep.
So I wonder if it's possible to make a hybrid of the two designs, a compact and light wood burning stove with a small auto-feed baler that accepts downed wood that's been chopped up into golf or tennis ball chips, along with broken twigs and small branches. That ought to last all night if properly designed and used.
Sure, there would be more initial work to set up the stove and chop up that wood, but you get to sleep all night warm and toasty and don't have to get up once, except maybe to pee, and you'll be warm when you do.
There are pellet burners and hoppers that can be attached to stoves. But you’re right, this is by no means meant for backpacking. Thanks for watching
Amazon says. Currently unavailable.
Hopefully it’s back in stock soon. Thanks for watching
Amazon sold out.
Hopefully they are back soon. Thanks for watching
@@AdventureswithSpackmannI reached out to Green Stove. They should be back in stock in a month or so.
@ good to know
♥
Thanks for watching
Big surprise follow the link and not available
They have been unavailable for a while now. Thanks for watching
Now its got beyond ridiculous. Next one will have a back boiler so you can have radiators in your tent.
Wow!! That’s a great idea. Thanks for watching
Less than a week old and you can't buy the stove from the provided link.
It was sold out before I posted. Wish the company stocked up before advertising it, hopefully back in stock soon. Thanks for watching
@@AdventureswithSpackmann Let me know if you want to sell it.
@ I do not. Sorry.
I made the mistake of buying a pellet camp stove, regret ever since! I'm telling you now before you make mistake, bringing pellets is a pain! And say you forget them at home, they are not always available to buy! But even if they are dragging 40lbs per bag around is no fun! And we use about 7 bags per trip! It's fine I your camping rite next to your truck, but if doing any walking forget about it! Wood is always available!
I don’t think it’s meant to travel with. I’d also like to add that wood isn’t always available. I camp in an area that gets feet of snow. You aren’t allowed to cut anything that is standing and once more than 2 feet of snow falls, finding wood is impossible. So I think they may have their place but trekking miles with them isn’t it. Thanks for watching
Buyers Beware, Received unit bent and smoking from Amazon. Was told I would receive new unit but never did as they currently have no more available do to purchases and having to replace units. Now I receive ed a message stating I can even leave a bad review because my review mentioned the unit may have been garbage from the factory or may have been damaged from Amazon shipping.
Oh no! What was bent on it and what do you mean smoking? Hopefully it gets replaced for you. Thanks for watching
It looks like this item won't be available for quite a while.
Hopefully less than a month. Thanks for watching
Regulator
That’s the word. Thanks for watching
Baum outdoors says he can get 10 hours
I saw that. I got no where near those numbers in all of my testing. He was using a hardwood pellet and I was using a mix. Thanks for watching
@AdventureswithSpackmann thanks for responding and for telling it like you see it.
@ you’re welcome.
