These types of stoves are meant for cooking on, not having a bonfire. That's why so many people complain about warping and not lasting, you add just enough wood to generate the heat you need to boil water or cook. Not meant for having a large fire to get warm.

Hi, you are absolutely correct. Constantly adding wood is not what this stove and "OVEN" was designed for. I have one. You can also prepare meals inside of the oven as well as on top. Placing a few charcoals underneath the oven.. you can also use Sterno.. the so called ash collector fits inside of the oven as well as on top. No skillet?? Cook over easy egg on the ash collector with sausage or bacon too. Add more accessories to cook or provide warmth as well. To each his or her own 🤔
@@davidc.9933people buy it for this reason doesn’t mean it was made for that reason, like viagra was first meant to treat blood pressure but look what people actually use it for
This is a perfect video on what you are not supposed to do with this stove. It should be on a solid surface and you only use a half dozen sticks to control the temperature for cooking. It's not technically a bonfire pit.
I just watched an unboxing of this stove. Hence your video popping up in my feed. The same leg on his stove was bent exactly the same. Thank you for the review. I have seen reviews of the smaller one, but this is the first use of the larger one I have seen. I am a homeless whistle-blower investigator & need to make large one-pot meals like peas & pasta, or pasta fagioli, and need a bigger stove for my 5.5 quart stock pot. It's heavy & good quality. I make a big pot over my fire pit, then break the pot down into 4 large sealed bowls & put them in my cooler. Which needs no ice in Vermont winters. Easier to just make up a whole pot & eat it in several meals that cooking everything every time I eat. This looks absolutely perfect for me! Thanks so much for sharing this with us! I clean up after the parties & slobs at my park. College town.
I have two of these exact stoves. No issues. Love them. Some people will put a cookie sheet under them to help with ash. Only on a flat stable surface tho, or the stove will slide, and be a fire hazard.
Nice video. Some people have suggested the two side handles can be folded up and inserted through the grill handles to hold the grill in place. Also, with the smaller stove version these vertical handles can keep a large pan off the top of the stove to provide better air flow. Haven't yet tried it myself, though....
Sounds good on paper and it will definitely prevent the grill from sliding completely off the top of the stove, but so not necessary, imo. Some people are always looking for ways to mod, or improve items and I believe this is an example. First.... A large pot or pan on the grill top doesn't hurt airflow at all, not in my experience... I mean, it has a door on the front that opens and is ventilated all around. That hasn't been an issue whatsoever for me. The handles - Flipping the handles up to hold the grill in place, like many have described, means you are now limited to a pot or pan only 6.5'' or less, because now the handles are sticking up and the distance between them is only 6.5'' (on the small version stove). That's a take away from what the stove is capable of doing. You take away from an even grill surface for anything larger because those handles are sticking up. Its not worth it, imo. The grill doesn't just slide off the top, but its not fixed anywhere to hold it in one solid place either. The grill itself has handles and they rest on the top frame. The framed mesh grill part is a slightly smaller dimension than the top opening of the stove. It sits with a little back n forth movement but doesn't just slide off.. You get the same back n forth movement when the handles are up holding the grill, if that makes sense lol. Keeping the handles down allows you to use an 8 or 10 inch pan no problem.
Just ordered one and a few bags of wood chips and chunks. This looks perfect to use on our deck if we lose power or just to grill on rainy days! 😎 Thanx for sharing! Btw.. the dogs are so cool!
Hadn't seen this stove before - looks like a nice size. I'm a huge fan of pallet wood as well. I use it in twig stoves, rocket stoves and anywhere else I need it. As you say, very dry, and splits nicely.
Why put so much fuel on the stove ? And I would never balance a fire of any kind on a rock the way you there if that falls you’re in trouble,it’s a wood burning stove not a fire pit.
Greetings from Nova Scotia Canada & I LOVE the size of that stove, so much so that I'm going to buy 1 off Amazon Canada. It's a damn shame, some idiotic morons CAN'T leave alone a peaceful nice built fire pit, without VANDALISM & garbage left behind !!!! I can nowadays totally UNDERSTAND WHY some public parks have security cameras installed !! 💯👍👌
There is now way that is going to hold a long time with that kind of roaring bondfire raging on. I guess this size makes less sense than the smaller size.
To bad about that fire pit. Course if it was me and I was going there. I'd have a shovel and bucket to clean it up, but that's just me. You do realize that is just thin stainless steel, and was never really meant to have that size of fire in it. But each to their own. Nice dogs.
I clean up what I can, always sad to see the destruction though, maybe pointing it out will raise some awareness / education to those that don't think of what they end up leaving behind when they do things like that...
40 seconds in and I can tell you're one of those that expects a $100 product for $20. Coplaining right off the bat. It's a $20 stove stop being so critical. If you want a premium product, pay preimium money. Not even finnishing this video
They come in two sizes. I almost ordered the small one on accident. The small one is better for long treks, this one is more of a car-camping stove in my opinion because it is over 5 lbs. The small one is just over one pound I believe.
@@ClearAdventure I almost did the same thing. Thankfully by reading the reviews first, I saw a few that suggested the bigger one so I then scrolled back up and seen the size option! I always read reviews before buying. 😎
You should of not use the big piece of wood made the fire start slower can't get air under it until you burn it up then your fire starts burning better and you can shut the door now ass wouldn't come out as much if you put your stove on a flat surface you have it at a 45 degree angle yes ashes will fall out i would put a metal pan with slawell sides under it but solo has a sealed bottom i like it better but cast more and has gas fire effect with cleaner burn but the Redcamp makes a good camp bonfire and with the grill you can BBQ with it or catch a fish and cook it on there there good but it different than a Solo fire pit wow they have expeny prices on the big ones ? Solo Titan nice
Wow: "this is a lot lighter weight and a lot more compact" --> 5.7lbs (nearly 2600g)?? Not sure what you guys define as "lightweight", but... - my titanium wood stove weighs 6.7oz (192g). - my wood stove made of stainless steel weighs 15.6oz (442g). - even my chimney pipe wood stove weighs less than this at 4.01lbs (1820g). The design of this stove is really cool with its door, grill net and ash plate... but I just don't see how the weight of this thing is anywhere near justifiable, even when looking at the smaller version - yet alone the even higher weight and absolutely LUDICROUS prices of some of the solo stoves that you mention... I will give you massive props however for taking care of the environment and bringing your own fuel, instead of littering the place and burning down an entire tree like the complete utter idiot(s) did before you.
You people kill me. You brought pallet wood with you and then split it. Should have split it before hand. You used a fire board, which was not needed and didn't allow you to close the door. You wasted soooo much wood. This box is made to use small sticks to cook your dinner or heat your coffee. It is not designed to cook a 4 course meal for a 100 man army. Everything has an intended purpose. Anything more is just stupid.
You say anything more is just stupid? What's stupid, is owning this stove and only using sticks. An idiot would only use sticks in this stove for cooking. Charcoal is best for these stoves... do you approve? LOL You don't even own one, so don't pretend you do. Only sticks LOL..... the box is made for small sticks lol.

Thanks for the video. I saw this on Amazon and really liked it for more of a fire pit than a camping stove.
Wonderful review. Thank you.
I got one , live in an urban setting on the Beach , I use charcoal in mine, but it is good to know I could make a bon fire if I wanted
It's WAYYYY too windy for this! Hopefully those continuous sparks you're launching into the forest don't start a really huge fire.
Why put so much fuel on the stove ? And I would never balance a fire of any kind on a rock the way you there if that falls you’re in trouble,it’s a wood burning stove not a fire pit.
With a whole entire forest full of twigs, you chose wood with chemicals in it.....
Not very clever to have an open fire with all those pine needles lying around,quick way of starting a forest fire .
I have the samaller version 😊
Thanks for sharing !
Thanks very good

Where is this? Great vid. Love your dogs
Cranberry Lake NY on Joe Indian Island
Heat beads are also useful in these stoves
Mine is heavy like yours 5 pounds. Plus it took me a hour to peel the plastic off

that was on an island....8 miles from the public boat launch
Make sure the pallet wood is Heat treated HT not chemical treated CT
Where is this beautiful land and lake ?

Awe, r u OK. Do you need a nappy.nap?
Oh, come on. It's not as if she's comparing design deficiencies of a $35 Redcamp stove to a $250 Solo Ranger. No, wait...
The handles keep the grill secure
Only on the smaller version of the stove. Not the one in the video (larger version).
If you bought from Amazon, some are used…. Even if it is new, if anything is wrong with it, it is considered used
Aww that’s cute
Hello, what height is 27cm or 35cm? thanks
It's the Large version which should be 27 cm, I didn't know they made a taller one in 35 cm!
what state is this in, i'm in west central florida, i'm from north central maine
Upstate NY
I was gonna guess Michigan.
I just bought one, have it sitting on a table in my front room, looks to pretty to use🤣 But the bag zipper on mine gets stuck.
2.5 kg is heavy not light. Except you go by car 😊
Is this the extra large one
Its the Large, www.amazon.com/dp/B082PNV6DK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_CKg7FbAH61VSC?_encoding=UTF8&psc=

This is not the correct way to use a camp stove 😒.
You go your own way, I'll go mine. The correct way to use something I own, is however I choose to use it...
You should have established a base of coals before you started cooking .
I see you don't know how to use the stove
