looks like a very sensible woodstove for the money, what do they mean with a heath shield , a baffle? That would be great

looks like a beautiful little stove, it should be airtight and burn very well, only a bit heavy

http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p214/chrisdeschepper/CSC_0244.jpg this is the one I use, you can find it here.Very satisfied from it, I use it for years allready. Solidly built stainless steel, weight all included 11 kg and it kept me absolutely warm at -15° You can find it here...

I don't know how big your tent is but 1 /you have to be careful with a woodstove in a smaller lavvu, I wouldn't do it and 2/ you have to be very careful with any fire in a synthetic tent. Maybe a heatpal, but try to find it in a boat shop that will be cheaper than tentipi dealers...

smelly fuel in your part of the world, the methanol they sell here in Belgium costs 2€, has no colour and no smell; When I was in Ireland I noticed that it was more expensive and they added a blue colour and a disgusting smell. I suppose they try to avoid that way that people would drink it. A...

I have the duossal pots for about 7 years and am very happy with them. I think they are not into production anymore, instead they use some kind of hardened aluminium. I wouldn't use pure aluminium to cook in it , because it is a very reactive metal, so if you put anything acid in it like tomatos...

amazed to read this. A couple of years ago I was camping with my varrie 9 in Ireland and had a storm up to force 8-9. No problems with those rings. But mine seem to be of a different make than those on your picture

I have a different woodstove (campfirestove), but it isn't airtight either. So when it really has to go quick in the morning , I don't put it on. Otherwise I put a couple of smaller logs that will burn quickly in less than an hour. The creosote depends also on the type of wood you are burning...

mine survived gale force 9 in Ireland. I think they are very wind resistant. You need to apply the storm ropes and use good pegs of course.

have a look at this site //www.wildnisabenteuer.de/, it is in German but when you click at kata and than mini lining you will see that he made a lining more or less as in a traditional indian teepee. That means not up to the top; He explains how to make it (in german). All together very...

I have a tentipi varrie9 and like it a lot but this //www.snowtrekkertents.com looks like an interesting alternative

that's why they add the taste to prevent you from drinking it

I used mine at -12°C without any problem. Just put the trangia fuel container in your pocket for ten minutes and afterwards it will ignite without a problem

why don't you contact Moosecamp in Holland or Campfirestove in Germany. I used my campfirestove last week for 4 days and the thing worked perfectly as usual. the one from Helsport looks good as wel, also non corrosive steel. the four dogs stove is good,but I didn't buy it because of the...

in Belgium you can buy meths in most supermarkets or gear stores under the name methylalcohol. In boxes of 5 litres it will cost 1€ a litre and it is without the purple dye. So it doesn't smell and it doesn't sooth the pots.
