Had a scary experience last night with this stove design - combustion moved up into the pellet hopper after about 5 hours ( hopper 1/3 full, damper fully open, hopper lid closed ) and quickly filled the entire tent with smoke. Most of the smoke leaked out in the hopper-to-stove air gap ( which can’t be sealed ). Not an inherently safe design.
Oh wow. I’m not sure if I mentioned it in this video or the second video I posted with this stove but I too had smoke fill the hopper. I’ve sealed the hopper, even the hopper to stove gap if I think I know what you are referring to, now I leave the top very slightly cracked and haven’t had that issue since. Not saying I fixed the problem cause I’m still testing it myself but I maybe on the right track. Were you sleeping? Also, 5 hours on 2/3 of a hopper? Thanks for watching
@@AdventureswithSpackmann I’ve been thinking through the issue this morning and here’s where I landed: the chimney is short and the outside air was completely still with high humidity (drizzle). I’m guessing the pressure differential between the chimney outlet and the combustion chamber damper just wasn’t enough to keep the flames moving sideways; without that flow, the heat naturally moved up into the throat of the hopper and started smoking the remaining pellets. If there are any aerospace engineers on here, please let me know if this theory holds any water.
@@matthewpulliam7473 I’ve noticed it needs to be at full blast for it to work properly. I’ve removed the damper and everything else so far that I’ve added except sealing the hopper. Did you shorten the pipe? Also see my question about your burn time?
@@AdventureswithSpackmann I believe the damper was fully open. The pellets are just the Menards ordinary wood pellets, and I was about 5 hours into the burn with maybe 1/3 of the pellets remaining. My estimate could be off - it was 4 in the morning and I was more focused on just putting out the fire. As for the chimney, it’s a 3-section pipe that runs to a bit below 5ft above the ground. My other stoves use chimneys 7-9’ tall.
The gap between the glass and the stove is for secondary air. Your primary air which controls the rate of combustion, goes in through your damper, your secondary air, is the air that goes in around the glass. And this controls the efficiency of your fire. And in most of these stoves it's already adjusted so you don't have to do anything.
@@AdventureswithSpackmannI have an old Russo stove coal stove in my home, and it has the same design feature The glass that surrounds the front of the door has a space behind it just large enough that you can have air go in for secondary air and to do what is called air washing the glass to make sure you don't have a lot of smoke gather up on it. Some stoves have a secondary air damper on the rear side of the stove. But most of the modern stoves especially the titanium ones don't have this design feature. They just use the space around the glass.
I grew up in Northern Michigan. Over the last couple decades, these pellet style stoves have become increasingly popular. People tell me they are cleaner and easier to use and that the heat is more consistent. I know that the number of sawmills and paper companies in our area make the pellets easy to come by up there. This is a cool little version of those bigger units.
I have the nature hike one and it does not have any gaps around the glass. Also the hopper has bends in it and are it bolts together. So it's very solid when it's assembled with no gaps. And yes the burn chamber is adjustable in height. Also, the oven does not get tight when you use it. Very high quality piece of product.
Ohhh that’s great to know. So they aren’t equals and price may being telling. Thanks for sharing your experience with the NatureHike one! Thanks for watching
My major concern is flames moving up into the pellet chamber. Playing with fire best to have oven silicon gloves and plenty of alo vera burn gel . Take care
The burn on that stove is amazing. It looks like it would be a great emergency heating option (especially for people that may not have access to firewood).
@@TonyRIKKIDepends on where you live. My local Home Depot has lots of bags of pellets, but it's really hard to find anyone selling cut/split/dry firewood.
This would be good for a small camp ground, if it burns you it might be good for outdoor use instead of enclosed. Would be cool to test this in an open survival concept like a tarp shelter or home made survival shelter or a apocalypse type video lol.
First time ive seen one being used. I hope it works for you in your floating tent. That would be cool. Although it looks like you need a little better control on the heat. If nothing else it'd help lessen the burn count. Looking forward to see what you're able to do with this stove. God bless and stay safe.
I'm interested in the oven aspect of the stove. It looks rather clumsy. The burn time is what everyone is probably focused on. Non the less, excellent video as always.
You should look at the design of another pellet stove like the one riley makes. They really stress that the hopper be air tight to prevent back burning. I have a similarly designed stove and I just couldn’t get it to work reliably without the constant fear of the hopper starting on fire.
I actually have sealed this hopper up. However I’m still uncertain on the safety aspect of this particular stove. I have 3 pellet stoves, all different designs. I have one that I love and feel comfortable with it not setting fire lol. Well I have two that I feel comfortable with but one of those two I love. What is your similar designed one? Is the Riley one, the one that attaches to a cylinder stove? Thanks for watching.
it's a very interesting design, but..... the Pellet Feeder should be offset at an angle and with a longer feed pipe. That should prevent the flame from reaching the feeder. I like it, but will look at re-designing the feeder for extra safety.
I have one rocket stove with a pellet attachment that has a longer feed port and it’s at an angle. I have been seeing more and more designed like this with the hopper directly above it. Thanks for watching
You rock brother. I got one and it was a AWESOME camp trip. Nice to not have to carry a 37LB propane bomb! LOL! Used in the PreSelf hot tent. Used co2 and fire alarm and slept most of the night. Burn time is definitely shorter maybe 4 hours for me. I close both dampers and I have minimal smoke when pellets empty & it glows…less! 🤣 Keep on vibing!
So you too got smoke when the pellets were running low, but minimal huh? I’m glad you like it. It’s one of my favorite stoves at the moment. Pellets are cheaper than propane and bags of wood too lol. Have you sealed the hopper?
@@AdventureswithSpackmann I ran a few burns before sleeping next to it just to be safe. When I had the bottom damper open it seemed to want to burn a bit higher up the hopper AND smoked enough I wanted to open a door. However with both closed it smoked but only enough to see it wisping from the cracks (no fire alarm though) and I didn’t smell the smoke at all. I would assume with the dampers closed the air draws in the hopper more and solves the smoking issue mostly. I didn’t seal mine up but only since I have to fold it all back up (car camper here).
@@shawnbeck6646 very nice! Yeah I haven’t had either smoke or co go off with this stove. I really like it. I still think the hopper is wonky but maybe it works the way it should lol idk.
@@AdventureswithSpackmann oh bro it’s completely wonky, I ate snow over the flue guy line at 2 am and was glad there wasn’t any pellets in there!! Definitely would seal it if I had a place to keep it… and a second one for the road! The green stove Hori 3 seems to have a bit better hopper but it much more money so maybe it was a cost cut.

Looks pretty cool. I like the upgrades you've done to the tent, though maybe something to prevent the heat from melting the wall too if it gets that hot it's burning you without touching it

Damn broski a floating hot tent?! im going to be sitting on the edge of my seat to make sure ya dont sink!!! And hopper hot stoves sound so awesome! I keep picturing that tent on the water all lit up and how flippin epic is going to look!
Cool stove but i gotta stay with a traditional one just because you can find firewood just about everywhere but that one wont take anything but pellets.. but hey It is still really cool and you dont have to chop up wood on the plus for it
The listing says you can use wood, pellets, straw and other organic material. I haven’t used wood yet but plan to try it out in the future. Thanks for watching
I have this stove too and I think it's well built except for the hopper part which is a bit flimsy and I don't know about you but putting the stove pipe on base feels shaky and I noticed the screws don't let pipe go all the way down and the pipes are not the usual 2.36 size which makes it it hard to add on a damper or another different spark arrestor. I haven't light it up yet but plan too soon here. If you ran into the same concerns I did what did you do to remedy it?
I did notice that. I forgot to mention it. The pipe is 2.7 size. I first burned it outside and the pipe holds itself but it comes with a guy out adapter to guy the pipe out. My dweller stove pipe fit so the damper from that fits well. Thanks for watching
I'm not real familiar with pellet burning stoves, what do you do if you run out of pellets to burn in a survival situation? You can get fire wood pretty much anywhere, I never seen pellets out in the wild anywhere.
I can start including C for the rest of the world. Sunglasses are so I always look like I’m looking at the camera. You can’t tell where my eyes are but my glasses are pointed at the camera. Thanks for watching
Now if Pomoly will make a pellet stove already… I’ve always wondered why manufacturers hadn’t inundated the market yet. Pellets just make so much sense.
I like the idea of pellets too. More often then not, I am bringing my own firewood with me. Pellets are cheap and it’s a set it and forgot it sort of stove lol. Thanks for watching
@oneangrycanadian6205 so glad you enjoyed! I added a little “how to light your hot tent stove” segment to my latest video. It was pretty funny if you are interested.
I swear you'll have that dang tent made into an apartment before you're done! Next video will be mounting a flat screen on the wall and a Dish Tailgater so you have cable tv 😂 then move in the 12v refrigerator, setup the cot, and string some lights. You'll be all set 🤣
@@AdventureswithSpackmann yeah, a projector would work! I use a little Pico projector in my rooftop tent late at night or when raining and sound run thru a Bluetooth speaker. Works pretty good 😂
@@AdventureswithSpackmann 😘 wouldn't you like to know?! Haha no I have 2 the size of my phone but thicker and they fit in my pocket. One is made specifically for my Moto phone and just snaps onto the back and instantly turns my phone into a projector. The other is a Miroir M300a that I picked up for $40 at a pawn shop
I'm a coffee nut as well. Love the stove, but getting burned so many times would not be fun LOL... I love the tent that was in your video I watched last - the one where you review the headlamp, what tent was that?, I want to see a video on that one, as I am looking for a tent to complete my setup - thanks. 👍 PS. I am going to guess you burned yourself at least once more after the video, so I will go ahead and say - burn count 7
Does that use electricity? What do you think about going pellet stove vs regular wood stove for a hot tent? i like the idea of a pellet stove but not if it only lasts 3 hours between refills.
It does not use electricity. I’m still testing it and can’t really say whether it’s better or not. The concept is better in my opinion. I love how it’s constant, regular heat. Not sure if I would trust it burning while I’m sleeping yet. But I usually let my stoves go out anyways. I have a short follow up about in my latest video and a couple mods I’ve made already. Thanks for watching
Lol did you say heat from the bottom 😂of the stove ,hopefully that was a joke like a hot tent pellet stove lol ,cant imagine dragging pellets 100 miles into the backcountry 😂
I wasn't interested in a pellet stove Spackman, not until I watched your sizzling review! Just kidding. Coincidentally, I was actually looking at the stove on Amazon last night. What caught my eye at first was the oven, the heavy top plate and what, at first, I did not realize was a pellet hopper. I thought: "What an odd-shape for a water tank! (I learned to look at pictures before I knew how to read.) Now, I'll have to check on pellet fuel prices, dang it!
If you run out of pellets can you use it as a regular wood stove? And how much are the pellets? PS: Do you have Paramedics standing by when you make your video's? LOL
Idk a lot of the time in the winter we end up buying bags of wood. Not much for picking where we go. I found that it’s cheaper to go pellets than bags of wood. Thanks for watching
@@AdventureswithSpackmann I use portable propane heaters. On the lowest setting I get 3 days on a 5g tank. That costs 17 to refill. Here pellets are 15 for 40lb bag . Sounds like that won't last a whole day. The propane stove heater with hose and regulator is 50$. . I'd love to have a pellet stove but at 500$ I can't justify it
wtf man. I am here to get some information about the stove you are very well explaining (and thanks for that) but then you burp like an animal intentionally again and again. such a disrespect. anyways, watched the video till the end. it was still very helpful. thanks.
if you can weld, throw this 300.00 junk in the trash and make a real stove. ;-) That 'stove' is dangerous, you're better to sleep cold and cook outside. You can't even touch the handles? Brah, if you are depending on this thing, you are in for some very rude, and blunt reality...good luck
Wow! I’d give that a big thumbs down. Obviously it’s a magnet for those prone to burning themselves. Additionally I can’t imagine using it around kids…of any age. How much fun is camping if you have to constantly say, “Stay away from the stove”.
First Love the video reviews. But Talking about carbon monoxide monitoring (or any kind of gases) you should maybe get a better grip on the numbers, industry standards of 8 hr limits, immediate dangerous to life, and LEL.

One is made specifically for my Moto phone and just snaps onto the back and instantly turns my phone into a projector. The other is a Miroir M300a that I picked up for $40 at a pawn shop
I'm a coffee nut as well. Love the stove, but getting burned so many times would not be fun LOL... I love the tent that was in your video I watched last - the one where you review the headlamp, what tent was that?, I want to see a video on that one, as I am looking for a tent to complete my setup - thanks. 👍 PS. I am going to guess you burned yourself at least once more after the video, so I will go ahead and say - burn count 7
Close on the burn count! I believe the tent was the Acacia Space XL. I have a video on it. Thanks for watching
@@AdventureswithSpackmann Thanks, I found it after I commented. I was up all night binge watching LOL.
@@Outside-In. awesome thank you so much!
That’s a pretty cool stove . I like the oven feature. You may want to invest in a laser pointer 😁 Have a great day
Oh laser pointer is a good idea. Thanks for watching
@@AdventureswithSpackmann the burn count is entertaining though 😁
Pretty sure getting out would be my safety priority! Cool stove though-
Escape route is in the safety plan! Thanks for watching
Is that oven big enough to make a personal pizza?
I would say yes. I’ll be making pizza in the floating hot tent. That’s my plan as of now. Thanks for watching
Does that use electricity? What do you think about going pellet stove vs regular wood stove for a hot tent? i like the idea of a pellet stove but not if it only lasts 3 hours between refills.
It does not use electricity. I’m still testing it and can’t really say whether it’s better or not. The concept is better in my opinion. I love how it’s constant, regular heat. Not sure if I would trust it burning while I’m sleeping yet. But I usually let my stoves go out anyways. I have a short follow up about in my latest video and a couple mods I’ve made already. Thanks for watching
Did you get burned??
I don’t think so. Thanks for watching
Get some Kevlar gloves.
Oh incase the stove starts shooting at me! Good call.
Is Kevlar better than leather? Thanks for watching
Lol did you say heat from the bottom 😂of the stove ,hopefully that was a joke like a hot tent pellet stove lol ,cant imagine dragging pellets 100 miles into the backcountry 😂
What do you mean hope I’m joking about heat from the bottom? Also some stoves aren’t meant for the back country. Thanks for watching
I wasn't interested in a pellet stove Spackman, not until I watched your sizzling review! Just kidding. Coincidentally, I was actually looking at the stove on Amazon last night. What caught my eye at first was the oven, the heavy top plate and what, at first, I did not realize was a pellet hopper. I thought: "What an odd-shape for a water tank! (I learned to look at pictures before I knew how to read.) Now, I'll have to check on pellet fuel prices, dang it!
Water tank would be cool lol. Maybe behind the hopper. Thanks for watching
No longer available :(
Sorry. Probably sold out. I did see NatureHike’s on sale on AliExpress for almost the same price. Thanks for watching
10:18 love that
Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for watching
The burn count on this one is already too high for my ADHD ass lol.
Lol my ADD was showing hard in this one. Thanks for watching
If you run out of pellets can you use it as a regular wood stove?
And how much are the pellets?
PS: Do you have Paramedics standing by when you make your video's? LOL
Yes, listing says you can use wood, straw, pellets or other organic material. Pellets vary from about $6-8 per 40pound bag. Thanks for watching
No longer available on Amazon
Yeah probably sold out. Thanks for watching
Too damn high tech n heavy for a good night Sasquatch hunt.
Foldable portable stoves thx.
Hear ya. Thanks for watching
It looks like it would burn the tent down.
Na we good. Thanks for watching
Dude the burn count is getting high. You need to start carrying welding gloves when using stoves. 😅😂🤣
I sure do lol. Thanks for watching
I think they are cool but not cost effective.. the buy in is high and pellets per hour is high
Idk a lot of the time in the winter we end up buying bags of wood. Not much for picking where we go. I found that it’s cheaper to go pellets than bags of wood. Thanks for watching
@@AdventureswithSpackmann I use portable propane heaters. On the lowest setting I get 3 days on a 5g tank. That costs 17 to refill. Here pellets are 15 for 40lb bag . Sounds like that won't last a whole day. The propane stove heater with hose and regulator is 50$. . I'd love to have a pellet stove but at 500$ I can't justify it
@@blainecelestaine4543 oh wow 15 for a bag is really high. I’m getting one for about $6 usd.
From my studies you are a slow learner from getting burned
🤷♂️ never claimed to be a smart man. Thanks for watching.
No longer being sold. They gave no further information.
May have sold out, not sure. Thanks for watching
Ohhh NatureHike has theirs on sale for like 350 I think on AliExpress. I think it’s a heck of deal since it’s so much on Amazon
Thanks. Pray to Jesus for guidance
Thanks for watching
wtf man. I am here to get some information about the stove you are very well explaining (and thanks for that) but then you burp like an animal intentionally again and again. such a disrespect. anyways, watched the video till the end. it was still very helpful. thanks.
Sorry you didn’t like the humor. Thanks for watching
Any research on pellet stoves will show you this Chinese knock off is missing a lot of the safety features on the feeder
Go on….. thanks for watching
Wow. He was talking and burped and kept on talking. Didn't even edit it out or do a retake
Welcome to the channel. Thanks for watching
if you can weld, throw this 300.00 junk in the trash and make a real stove. ;-) That 'stove' is dangerous, you're better to sleep cold and cook outside. You can't even touch the handles? Brah, if you are depending on this thing, you are in for some very rude, and blunt reality...good luck
I never depend on a stove for anything. Especially heat. Thanks for watching
PLEASE STOP BURPING
Sorry. Thanks for watching
Wow! I’d give that a big thumbs down. Obviously it’s a magnet for those prone to burning themselves. Additionally I can’t imagine using it around kids…of any age. How much fun is camping if you have to constantly say, “Stay away from the stove”.
I hear ya! But I have to saw that for any stove lol. None of them are cold. Thanks for watching!
Do you understand how fire works?
@dhart5752 I think we all do lol. Thanks for watching
Dam you must have some stupid children if you need to tell them not to touch a hot stove …
Yoooo @AdventureswithSpackmann would you sell me this stove i cant find it anywhere???
Where are you located? I’m not one to part with my stoves but maybe. Thanks for watching
@@AdventureswithSpackmann Michigan
@@gerardwieczorek yeah that’s kinda far for shipping. It’s a large heavy stove.
First Love the video reviews.
But Talking about carbon monoxide monitoring (or any kind of gases) you should maybe get a better grip on the numbers, industry standards of 8 hr limits, immediate dangerous to life, and LEL.
I’ve researched the numbers before. I think I have a good enough grip on them. Thanks for watching.
