THIS Camp Stove is Unlike ANY Other 🔥

- I’ve tried a lot of camp and backpacking stoves, but nothing like this. This one is unique, at least for this century. The Winnerwell Iron Stove, also known as the No. 10, is a camping stove that takes you back to the 19th Century. This style of stove, commonly called a sad iron stove, used to be prolific across the United States. It’s made of cast iron, brass, and has mica windows. It burns paraffin oil instead of white gas, propane, or wood like other modern camp stoves. This modern replica of an antique stove provides heat, light, and ambiance like no other. It’s an experience! Join me for this camping gear review as we take a close look at a nostalgic piece of Americana.

I bought one of these from Winnerwell as a complete kit that also included a really nice carry bag with inserts for fuel, additional wicks, along with a cast iron griddle plate that locks into place on top of the stove. I really really dig this thing. I’ve had it since November, mainly because there was a thanksgiving Black Friday sale for the whole set. Worth every dollar. There are other cheaper stoves on Amazon but the heat distribution is different and not as efficient as the Winnerwell.
I mainly use this as an indoor fireplace on the dining room table using odorless Paraffin oil that is safe to use indoors. I get lots of compliments on it, great conversation piece. Any other fuel like kerosene burns too dirty, and is not recommended. There are no Co2 issues as the stove burns clean enough to not set off any alarms.
Can’t wait to take it out camping. Love this thing. Great video! Cheers!
That’s great to hear! I’ve been really interested in the indoor use of these, so thanks for sharing your experience. It sounds like a great setup.
I have one and it's beautiful. It's multipurpose and everyone people adores it. This unit will still be usable many years to come unlike most equipment today. P.S defo use a wind deflector.
Great to hear. Have you dialed in the technique to keep the smoke down and soot from building up on the mica windows?
Liquid paraffin turns into a solid below 32 degrees.
I love the open flame on a tall stove sitting on rickety table surrounded by acres of dry grass. I seen very large fires started by less.
Man, I've been waiting for this vid. Especially by you! Kinda bummed how much soot it puts out, as ideally, it's small enough that with a "well ventilated" area, whether tent, van, small rig, it'd be great as ambiance and a bit of a heat source. I had the idea to have the skillet attachment in place to then set one of the small heat-powered wood stove fans on to move the heat around a bit for a small space. Pricey setup for sure. But if it worked for both heating a small space and cooking, AND some ambient lighting... Worth it, because the fuel isn't incredibly expensive either. Anyways, thank you for the awesome vid, man! 🤘⚡🤙
I'm glad you enjoyed the video! I had fun testing that one out. Don't take the amount of soot you saw here as gospel. It was my first time using it so I imagine with a little more experience I'll figure out how to manage the flame, smoke, and soot better. I was trying to boost the flame a bit for more heat to cook my lunch faster, but that may have been a mistake on my part. Anyway, I like your idea of how to use it. Cheers
@@theoutdoorempireChase, thanks for the clarification and keeping the dream alive! 🔥😮💨🤌🏼
I'm really interested in how this works with white gas. My assumption was that's a very clean burning fuel compared to the likes of kerosene. Does this just burn too hot, or is it somehow more sooty?
Thanks for the review, Chase. I saw this product a few years ago, and was intrigued by it, but not enough to purchase it. I read all the reviews on the Winnerwell website, and the biggest con I read was the mica windows seem flimsy and cheap. One user actually wrote that one of those windows melted on him. My use case would be as a "fireplace" inside an off-grid cabin for ambiance and the occasional heating of water for coffee/tea. But indoor use is not recommended (not sure why), so maybe $380 is too steep a price for non-recommended ambiance. Anyway, thanks for the look at it. Still intrigued, still unsure.
Indeed the mica windows are thin and seem a bit fragile, but I think that's just the nature of mica (a natural mineral that flakes off in big transparent sheets) and not the cost or craftsmanship. But I'm no expert, so who knows.
Pro tip: if you have the spout of the fuel can on top and pour out the fuel it’ll tend to not spill and make a mess gurgling as air can get into the can smoothly. So spout up not on the bottom when pouring.
I'll definitely try that out next time.
Don’t use it around wind aka outdoors, don’t use it indoors, don’t use it unless it’s more than 50percent full, wait 30 minutes to saturate the wick, costs $380, uses brittle mica, weighs the same as a small anvil, turns your cookware filthy and black, looks extremely top heavy and unstable. I really don’t like this. Looks old fashioned which is super cool though.
Indeed, I think there are a lot of reasons we don't use this old style stove and moved onto modern designs. Fun to have a blast from the past though.
Cool stove. Completely impractical for the price, but a cool alternative to a collapsible wood stove in tight quarters.
Yeah, it's more of a novelty than a practical stove. But fun, nonetheless.
Got a soomloom one of these coming $150 off Amazon be interesting to compare them for price difference and quality
Definitely interested in that comparison as well.
Cute stove!
Man at that price , I sure am glad I have 2 originals and yes I do use them on occasion. They work great for slow simmering something even though you'll still get a small amount of soot using lamp oil. Way less than with Kerosene though.
I do need some new wicks for mine though and one of my windows is getting pretty shabby too so I check to see if there replacement parts are compatible with the originals ?
Nice review! I've always thought those looked cool!
It definitely brings a smile to the face.
Good video, nice looking stove. At that price, it shouldn't smoke. My kerosene wick heaters have a catalytic screen to burn excess gas and also give a blue flame if adjusted properly. Just a suggestion might improve function.
Great suggestion, thanks. And the smoke is likely mostly user error. This was my first time using a stove like this.
I like it, just can't afford it.
This video inspired me to look for my old kerosene lantern, but I think my dad threw it away 😢
Hope you find it!
Looks top heavy especially with that cast pan on top .
It does look that way, but it's actually not too heavy. Most of the weight is in that cast iron base, especially when it's full of oil. Doesn't feel tipsy at all. With the cast iron pan on top, it's heavier, but even then it felt sturdy enough. Probably wouldn't go any bigger than the 8 inch pan I used though.
Can you PLEASE pass this stove along to me ? I'm
prepping to move deep into the bush in March and this would be a great edition in my Bell Tent , aka my new house until I can build an A frame to live in. I can pay for shipping by all means. Let me know if you could part with it. Thank You 🙏
Pretty Please in the nature of Paying it Forward to the needy , I would be beyond grateful. 😊
Thanks for the review. Definitely like it, but that price definitely not.
Yeah, it's a bit pricey, but fun.
All I know is I want one.
You are not alone.
If it was clean burning (with kero) it’d be an instant buy. At that price, I do not understand the yellow flame.
It's not a pressurized system at all and I don't believe it's designed to withstand the high heat of cleaner fuels or blue flames.
I wish the lid was threaded…..that’s a disaster in the making when hauling it around.
I really like the idea and it appears the company really cares. However, every demo I've seen shows the same thing. They smoke a lot. Enough that I can't see using it indoors, in an RV or in a tent. And enough that I can't help but think it is going to impart a bad flavor to food.
Ya it got smoky at times, but this was also my first time using it, so that might be beginner error on my part.
@@theoutdoorempire Maybe. But it is a common issue with the reviews and demos I've seen.
25% Tarrifed?
Arco, IDAHO is contaminated from the 1st nuclear accident in 1957 (or thereabouts). That killed 3 men. So....the radiation is still there.
Looks cool but not very useful. And not worth the money for sure.
Its cool. Ummm nope
Cxrap stove,this stove SUCKS,FOR REAL.
heavy, expensive, dirty, expensive and heavy.
Also not lightweight. 😜
@@theoutdoorempire its beautiful though ...cant deny the glow of the fire. enjoy it man
And dirty!
