Appears to be an awesome hot tent stove, thank you for creating and posting this video, and I am looking forward to your "review" video in a couple of months of so.
Thank you so very much, I appreciate that. I'll continue to use this stove as much as possible to create as accurate of a review as I can! Have a blessed day
My KingCamp Stove is very similar but much bigger, it's for a large hot tent. I have a small generic one that's black that I use for my small hot tent.. I love both of them, they work so good. The one you have looks really nice, better than my small one for sure.. I wouldn't hesitate buying it!
@@OzarkGuy So far it's wonderful, and I'll be taking it out this weekend and throwing it into my new hot tent. I'll be posting an updated video on the stove in a couple months
I'm mainly seeing how well this stove performs long term, to test it's durability, and dependability for use in hot tent setups since some stoves similar in design can be $500 or even more. Also, I do agree, that would be nice.
Buying cheap items like this is like buying a used car. You can get a damn good deal, but you may have to put a bit of work into it. If you don't know how to do that work, then it's not worth it. If you know how to fix things, then you can save a great deal of money. I have an older version of that stove for quick camping (sorry, I no longer remember the name, or even the brand), or camping in the summer when I may want to cook inside the tent. For cold weather camping, I break out my Caminus M stove from RBM. Both are good stoves, but both have downsides. The cheap one can only be stoked so much, and like you, I had to do a bit of work on it, and it requires more to maintain. The Caminus M is heavier, and bulkier, and even light cooking on it generates a lot of heat. So if you're wanting to just cook, but the temp isn't that low, you either heat up the tent greatly, or you break out another means to cook on. However, I have stoked the Caminus M for the night in -30 F weather and only had to wake once to add more wood. For reference I use a UP-5 hot tent, also from RBM. Both are pricey, and heavy, but well worth both if you want to camp in cold climates on a regular basis. Comes down to what you need, and what you want.
@@ryimscaith1593 I completely and totally agree! I've seen, and also used some cheaper stoves like this in the past, and the quality was very poor. Weather it be the legs, the door hinges, the stove itself etc. However, I bought them just to see if they're good at all, and even worth using, knowing that I may have just wasted however much money I spent on it just to try it out. However, as of this moment I just used this stove for over 24 hours straight (video will be uploaded soon) and it has surpassed every expectation I had for it. I had absolutely zero issues all night long, and it performed amazing. I had no warping to the outside or inside, I had great control over the air flow only needing to stoke the fire about 4 times all night long, and much much more. Again, I will have an updated video out soon.
Excellent video, great info

It looks very solid.
I looks like it is good enough to get by as a tent stove. It would be better if it had a pellet burner option so you could use it for over night.

$150 is cheap for a metal box with some tubing?
@@occamraiser When it comes to hot tent stoves... Yes. Some stoves can easily cost upwards of $500 or much much more.
