CANWAY Camping Stove, Wood Stove/Backpacking Survival Stove, Windproof Anti-Slip Portable Stainless Steel Wood Burning Stove with Nylon Carry Bag for Outdoor Backpacking Hiking Traveling Picnic BBQ

Using this stove to heat water was much faster than trying to build a legit fire. This product was most useful when I was not making a camp fire. I created little smoke once the fuel reached a sufficient temperature. The amount of light emitted was minimal compared to a camp fire. Add in fuel well before you feel you need to add more fuel. There were situations where I added fuel too late, and there was not enough heat to ignite the new fuel. This wasted fuel, ignition material, and time. I took this wood burning stove on a week long back country hunt in northern Minnesota. Temperatures ranged anywhere from 40F to 10F. When air temperatures were above freezing, I could boil 24oz of water by filling the stove to the top with oak twigs. When air temperatures were below freezing, sometimes I needed to refill the stove to boil 16oz of water. Depending on the temperature of the air, water, and the density of the wood you are using, time to boil/ amount of fuel will vary. Always gather more than you think you will need. If you want to use this as a heating stove for warmth, you will be disappointed. I cut and quartered an oak branch that was just a bit smaller than the fuel receptacle and it burned for about 15 minutes. All the heat that is generated flows directly upwards with the convection current, and the only noticeable heat radiated was from the direct line of sight of the flames. I plan on taking this stove with me on a hunt next year where I will be mobile and super stealthy. Everything will be carried on my back, I will sleep wherever I am when the sun goes down, and I will probably use the stove to heat water for coffee. There's nothing like a hot cup of coffee to make you feel human in the pitch black hour before sunrise. In conclusion, it is a very effective and convenient tool, but it specializes in one thing only (heating a container). If you just want a cup of coffee in the morning and go, then this is for you. If you just want a hot meal at night before passing out, this is for you. If you're going to have a camp fire, you could save the space and weight in your pack for something else like a larger axe or folding saw. For $16.99 with free one-day shipping, this is an awesome tool to have in your arsenal.

All I can say is wow! Going in to the purchase I was a little skeptical on the quality and how well this wood burning stove would work. I had seen several other similar stoves that worked fine but found very little info on this "brand". After watching several videos I soon realized that this stove is made in China and rebranded to many different companies and is ultimately a knockoff of the silverfire scout which sells for considerably more. The quality of the product is surprisingly good, I was expecting something cheap and flimsy but that was not the case. The body of the stove is made of thick double walled stainless and has zero flex and fits perfectly on the single walled base. The basket that drops in to the stove body is also made of high quality stainless. I was a little worried about the dimensions given as one part days 5.11 inches while another stated 5.5 inches. I can confirm the stove has a diameter of 5.25 inches at its widest point and nests perfectly in my 775ml msr alpine stowaway pot, it also fit perfectly in my ozark trail 10 piece cookset (after eliminating some bowls). The ozark trail kit is a direct knockoff of the gsi Dualist so it should fit in that kit as well. The center of the stove also allows for storage of some small items. I was able to fit my firesteel, a mini Bic, water proof matches (in a plastic case), cotton balls and a folding fork and folding spoon pretty easily. I'll update my review with some examples of how it nests and what it can hold here in the next few days. Lastly the stoves performance. I first loaded up the stove with 2 cups of wood pellets, tossed a cotton ball covered in Vaseline on top and lit it with a single strike of my firesteel. Within 3 minutes the stove started its gasification process and was ready for use, the flame was perfect and almost flower like coming out of the gas hols around the top of the stove wall. My first order of business was to make popcorn which it did flawlessly, I didn't time it but I had a full pot of popcorn in less than 2 minutes! After I ate all of the popcorn I decided to do a boil test, the fire had been going for approximately 20 minutes before I put on 8oz of water in my stainless msr 775ml alpine pot. It brought the water to a rolling boil in 1min 59 seconds! I was absolutely stunned. I them took the water off and let it cool down. Around the 1 hour mark the flame stared to die down but was still generating a flame above a very hot bed of coal. I put the water back on and it once again went to a rolling boil, this time in about 5 minutes since the flame wasn't as intense. At 1.5hours I had to put the coals out because it was getting so late. You can see on the picture it burnt from daylight to darkness! The stove put out very little smoke once the gasification process took place, I would gladly use this under a tarp without worry of being smoked out. It did however put some soot on my pot, but I'm honestly not concerned about how pretty my pot looks. So yes, buy it, use it and love it!

This was the lowest cost camp stove of many that are very similar or identical. However, the stove is of good quality and assembles easily. Using twigs that have fallen out of my backyard trees and very little alcohol I was able to get the stove burning quickly. I don't think I needed the alcohol, but it made lighting easy. I had a small deep pan (about two cups of coffee size) of water boiling in about 2 minutes. The stove isn't smokeless, but does a pretty good job of keeping the smoke at a minimum. There will be soot on the bottom and possibly the side of the pan so don't use anything the better half will get angry about turning into a camping pan when you test the stove. The embers that are at the bottom of the stove stay very hot for some time after I removed the boiling pan of water. The feed opening in the side of the pan stand is plenty large enough to continually feed wood through. I brought the pan of water up to full rolling boil several times just by adding some twigs. I'm pleased with the stove, and it'll come in handy when I do some overnight camping in my ultralight. The light weight of the stove and that it uses wood that can be found almost anywhere makes this an excellent stove for camping, removing the need to carry fuel.

No la he probado le pongo 3 estrellas por que el. Material es algo endeble y ya empacada hace bastante ruido al caminar. Con ella fuera de ahi espero y funcione correctamente

I haven't used this yet but I'm not worried about it. It went together easily and it's very straightforward. I watched some videos of other people using it and they are all very happy with it. It seems very well made and it will be easy and light to carry.

Works as advertised, easy to use but please note: make sure you have the fire well going before cooking or the flames will struggle a bit. I wish it had bottom stabalizing legs as it can be wobbly if placed on rough ground. I will make my own modification. Yes it weighs 1 lb but not having to carry fuel makes it great for hiking. I have a small gas stove that weighs that much with one cannister so the weight is a non-issue.

Edit: The supports that hold up your pot/kettle is held on by three tiny weld beads. You might want to reinforce it with some heat-resistant epoxy. The flame in the photo is from small twigs and splinters from a log of wood. Even more impressive was the amount of ash left over (minuscule for the amount of fuel we put in meaning a more complete and efficient combustion) The smoke without a utensil is negligible, but any utensil put on top will blacken immediately, while the smoke increases as the fumes have less time to combust properly due to the shorter flame. One star removed from ease to use because of the size of twigs and sticks have to be short or they won't fit inside the chamber. Might be easier to use pellets or mulch. It folds up to a ridiculously small package (I initially thought that it wasn't included in the amazon delivery) so 5stars on convenience. Make sure you use the stove on cleared earth or a slab of stone underneath, otherwise the hot ashes will harm/ ignite the grass beneath.

Like most things, there is a bit of a learning curve using the stove, like keeping the flames going without it smoking you out. But, for the price, it's a good stove - it puts out a decent amount of flame - we used wood pellets in it, which is very economical and produced very little ash. You could cook something on it, for sure, but I have not done that yet. We used it outside in our 10 x 10 gazebo to keep warm at about -8 celcius and it worked alright (with the curtains mostly closed). Didn't need gloves on with coat undone and stayed out for about 2 hrs easily. Bought a second one so we can have 2 going in the gazebo and should warm it up nicely.
