Great video! I have the Danchel with 1 glass. Wish I had 2 windows. I burned my stove at dusk with pipe tied to gutter on garage and door cracked open at dusk to get the pipe red hot. Next time flipped stove pipe upsidedown. This tempers the metal permanently at both ends to take the shape you want it to take so it is much easier to put the pipe back together. The stove pipe goes on the outside outside of stove as does the clamp to make a solid connection. I also like a cheap Amazon stove fan on the stove to circulate the warm dry air to dry things off. Damp wet clothes is why some people have gotten hypothermia and killed explorers.
At 10:55 it looked like smoke was coming out of the stove. Did this stove leak smoke? Does it leak smoke with the chimney flue and front vent open, and if no, does it leak snoke with the flue and vent closed?
I did end up getting this stove and I found that it only really leaks smoke when the chimney flue damper is completely closed and the smoke has nowhere else to go but out through the cracks. When the damper is open even just a little bit my stove has no smoke leakage. It's odd how there are mixed findings from different people about the smoke leaking out. I wonder why some have the problem and others don't.
Has anyone done a side by side comparison/test of the Danchel TA1 stove with the @Trekrevive Ridge stove? The TA1 is mildly bigger, which I like, but, the Ridge looks to have a much better air intake system and top support structure. Does that make for a significant difference in performance? Would love to see a good side by side comparison. You two want to send me a stove to run a fair comparison?
I ended up getting this stove and have used it about 5 times, and there was no noticable warping. I'm not sure why some people are finding warping and others are not. One thing I did do, per recommendation in the directions, was put something with weight on top of the stove while breaking it in. I went all out and put 4 bricks on top of the stove the first two times I burned it. I wonder if that helped to prevent warping?

That’s an awesome stove I like the glass in the side

This stove leaks smoke like crazy, we wouldn't recommend this one ,but we're not paid by the company to do so ...

Check out my stove video and how I rolled the chimney they are easy solo when you get it down path
Only thing that sux is this stove warps within a few days of using it , we tested 6 with all the same outcome, very disappointing
