Wildo stove VS Frontier. any opinons

[nickliv]

It's for shed use and car camping in a big frame tent, so weight isn't an issue, nor is portability.

I like the big flat top of the wildo stove, and its 'utilitarian' look. There are lots of hinges and joints on the Frontier.

What diameter is the chimney on the Wildo?

Any reviews / opinions / other things I might not have noticed?

Thanks

Oh, yes, I've had a search, but was hoping to collate firsthand experiences in one place.

3" on the Wildo, less prone to tarring up, its heavier metal so with a raised base I can burn coal which is not something I'd try with the Frontier and more cooking space. The Frontier is more portable though.

The Frontier is good for occasional use, but for years of use get a heavier duty stove.

Im giving my new wildo its first burn, to get the paint cured / burnt off. Have flung an old file in there to anneal too. Waste not, want not eh?

Now,anyone know where i can get hold of a flashing kit for tent and / or shed?

Hi

Does anyone know what size flue you need for the wildo if you are making a custom exhaust? I read that the jetex 3 inch is too small. Any advice?

Thank you
