Strong winds are the worst enemy for tents and tarps.

So bungee cords seem quite popular piece of gear, which are practical and useful. Better browse for some shopping online. Thanks for your info and ideas.

I see. Yes, I can imagine it. SS cutlery is the best I feel. My Titanium chopsticks get hot trying to burn my hand off when it is whisking the boiling hot the instant noodle. I usually change over to the wooden chopsticks for the hot food.

Are bungee cords useful? When there was strong wind a few days ago, my tarp and tent set up in the garden patio was taking severe battering. At one moment, the tent was shifting from where it was, and was going to fly away by the wind. The wind was about 50 - 60 miles per hour. I had to take...

Why are they the devils work?

I tried a spork for buttering toasts, but it didn't work at all. The butter kept escaping via the spork prongs refusing to stay and spread on the toast. So, when buttering toasts, you need a proper butter knife.

Sure, I look forward to seeing the demonstration of your device. Thanks.

Diameter of the flues will have to be taken into consideration as well suppose. And yes, I recall seeing some folks heating up the flues with a torch when starting the woodstoves.

So, many factors affect the woodstove operation then. I certainly noticed one day when strong wind was hitting the flue pipe exit hole, smoke was being pushed back into the stove, and the stove was smoking from the front door air vent. And also recall when woodstove was burning woods without...

Does length of flue pipes of woodstove affect burning? For instance, how would 1m length of flue pipe compare with 3m flue pipes off the same woodstove in burning performance?

A titanium tool I really like is my small Titanium folding snow shovel. It had been bought for snow scooping and clearing in the winter on the road or driveway, but it can be used for gardening or moving soil, sand and pebbles too. It is so light, it works a lot easier, better and faster. If...

I tend to start with small twigs and thin chopped wood harvested and picked up from the back garden. Then when fire builds and going strong, then put in the large logs cut into anything between 50mm - 100mm in diameter. My wood stoves are in the patio under the canopy shelter, and the other...

This youtube video on running wood stoves in hot tents were also interesting. He seems to prefer larger wood stoves. The video has many interesting points to think about in all manner of running wood stoves be it portable hot tent wood stoves or home base larger wood stoves.

Sure great info and advice, thank you.

From the posts in the thread, I have learned following points so far. 1. Wood stoves don't need to be fully sealed for safe operation. 2. Wood stoves need the front door for feeding the fuel kept open for a while for enough air intake for complete combustion when more woods are inserted into...

Ok.

In this blog, it lists alder as unsuitable for wood stove for the reason, " Alder Alder burns quickly while producing very little heat, which is not what you want for a woodburner." Here is the full list of unsuitable woods for wood burner.

This is a strong possibility. Will give another test burn. This time with the full 127mm flues only, and the same type of fuel. The wood stove is installed outdoors in the patio.
