    Just thought to take some time to come back and say why I haven`t been watching and will not watch any more of your videos as you made come discerning political comments I do not agree with a few weeks ago. I was enjoying the development of the WV property but I don`t care anymore. I am a genetic product from Lancaster Co. Pa. but was reared as a southerner and a Floridian.

    I have the first model Solo stove that I have kept for hurricane emergency cooking. It is smaller than the Mesa. I have used it once in 10:years, to cook hot dogs! Now we have a travel trailer and it’s going camping! I can cook a lot in a small iron skillet or other small cookware. I can make coffee, tea, warm soup, cook eggs, a burger, all sorts of things. I will use twigs and scrap wood I can pick up at Lowe’s for free. No one needs a fire in the mini to last 45 minutes.

    As I watched you spread the rock on the driveway, l thought that watching a man do what he likes to do, with the skills to do it well, combined with a beautiful morning, is a stress free way to start a day.

    This stove started as a Bush Buddy by the hiking community. It's a wood stove for cooking your food or boiling water for dehydrated food. It was made to use natural wood fuel found on the trail instead of carrying alcohol bottles or canister fuel. It's also good to use when there is a burn ban during dry conditions on the trail.

    Happy new year to you and your family from Norway. I don't comment very often, but I follow your channel regularly. I have tried several products for cleaning the stove glass and found that if you put water on a curled up newspaper page (Or some other sturdy paper) and dip it in the ashes that has burned out it cleans the glass better than most store bought products. Just a new years tip for you plus it saves money.

    Happy New Year! A few years back, I took one off those charcoal starter things, added 3 L brackets to the bottom, add 4 L brackets to the top. I took a small piece of expanded metal (with a hole cut in the middle for loading) and bolted it to the top. When I’m in the woods cutting, I just toss some small wood and twigs in it give it a quick light and put the coffee pot on top. Makes great cowboy coffee!

    Oak and hickory chunk wood, sold for use in smokers by Lowe's, Home Depot, and other stores, burn phenomenally in this stove. I've split down some of the largest pieces that come in the bag, but for the most part just throw them in the way they come. After getting a good coal bed going, the larger chunks really extend burn time without having to continually add extra in. This is my go to fuel, along with pellets, which are finickier but burn great as well. Lots of options with this Mesa, gotta love it !

    Happy new year to the Morgan's. I bought a cheap Chinese knock off sorta like that little stove you bought. Mine was about 20 bucks. Only about 5 inches tall and 6 inches around when in the box. Put it together about twice as tall. Twig stove. Great for motorcycle camping. Free fuel most places. Doesn't make much smoke and makes a hot fire for cooking. Fun to play with in the evenings when there is not much to do after dark. I cut a bunch of dead ash rounds about 4 or 5 inches long. Split with a axe. Fast and easy for what I am doing.

    Hey Mike, not sure if you’ll see this or even if someone has already commented on it… there’s already 130+ comments. A way that I found to clean the stove glass for free and in my case better than ANY product that I’ve ever bought is by simply taking ash from the stove and mixing into a small bowl with a little water. Mix it to a paste and(doesn’t take much at all). Then just wipe the paste on the glass with a rag or even some paper towels, very little elbow grease is needed, then simply wipe off with a clean rag. Just a tip that I learned years ago and again, works just as good if not better than any products you can buy… and a lot cheaper 😁

    When I go out hunting or fishing or overnight in the woods, I use what is available for my stoves. I have a kelly kettle and a bush buddy. It is just so convient when I am on the move or it is just me.
    BUT when we go overnight camping in parks, you can't go scavaging in someone else's campsite or go deep in the trees to get the fuel. ( and sometimes you can't cut anything in a park ) So yes, I am a woodworker, so I cut long strips of some of my scrap maple or oak and chop saw them short and bring them with me. I usually grab a couple handfuls of planer shavings. So in that venue, I think there is a market. Add your fire starter and you have the whole package. 👍 I cut my pieces 1/2 to 3/4 x 3 inches.. And a few largers pieces. I don't use it for any recreational times. I fully cook on these. At a camp ground I cook everything with them.

    I must admit I very rarely read comments on videos on RUclips so this may have been mentioned before. Up here in Alberta many rural people burn wood as their main home heating method.
    They use an accessory called a thermo-electic fan to circulate warm air from their air tight stoves. The device uses heat from the stove to convert to electricity which drives a fan motor to push warm air from the stove. A magnet hold the fan in place anywhere on the top of the stove. This a very effective way to fit a a movement systen to any stove with a flat surface. It warms a room up pretty quick. Up here prices range from $80.00 and up depending on the size of the unit. Just a thought.

    I was finally able to get some fire starter. Can’t wait to try it. Wish you had a laser thermometer in that mini stove at the end. With all the cubes I bet it was cooking
