I got this for my Tentipi Safir 9 CP but so far it's only been fired up once in my back garden to give it a test and burn any chemicals off.
It generates an almost rude amount of heat and with a few reasonable lumps of wood and damped down it stayed warm for hours and hours.
The flat top makes cooking very convenient and all the chimney packs inside itsellf.
I got a cheap backpack with an external frame - chucked the bag part and used the frame to mount the stove to, once secured it wasn't too heavy. Something like this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/A-L-I-C-E-PAC...Collectables_Militaria_LE&hash=item53e5f13f88 would be ideal.
Obviously this size stove is for the 9-person tipi so the idea is that you have several people, one carrying the tipi, once the stove and everyone else carries the remaining gear.
It's not a lightweight titanium adventure race in comfort stove!
Taunton Leisure are selling "seconds" for £400 and by their description, it's pretty much exactly the condition of mine.

This is not the stainless version so it will pick up some surface rust but it's nothing to worry about unless you leave it out all year in the weather. Mine has been stored in the original box since purchase and is utterly sound.
I'm asking £325 and it would need to be collected from Harrow, North West London.
If you have any questions, please do ask away!
Cheers,
Joe
