Hi Archie , I found a XL Gstove second hand been looking for a while , am so happy with it for my winter stove I highly recommend it ! I’m an old lady but I can transport it where ever I want , it came with the accessories but not the flue oven , the water boiler is great and the extra chimney cooking space is good too it fits in the flue pipe . The heat it provides is very efficient it heats a sitting room well and you can cook all your meals too I just love it ! So we’ll made last many generations I think , enjoy your Gstove many years of service . Love from Aust ! Chris XO
Yeah, I enjoy mine. Gotta find reasons to use it more. It’s definitely not a backpacker stove but it is a solid build and will last a long time. Good for camping and emergency preparedness or hot tent. I hope to get a few more accessories when the supply chain and my wallet allow! lol Until then Happy Holiday Heating! Thanks for the input!
Archie, thank you for your well done video & review. I hope you continue making more videos about the “random” things in your life, as mentioned on your ABOUT” page of your Home Screen. I liked that you’re not attempting to sound like you know everything. Instead, you were refreshingly humble & honest, so thank you for that. I’m definitely looking into a G-Stove Canada.
I like to say that if you think you know everything you just prove you know nothing. Also, you mentioned I was humble. My modesty is the best thing about me! 😂👍🏼 Glad you enjoyed it!
Nice review of a very well thought out (and fine made) product. I own my G-Stove since 6+ Years (bought in May 2017) and I'm still amazed every time I use it. I've also ordered the spark arrestor, the flow control, the removable water boiler/tank and the chimney-"oven". About a Year (or so) later I've ordered a pair of 45° chimney parts and the optional chimney cooking plate and also the longer legs. But I've shortened the legs (around 4") so they still can, like the original legs, flip nice under the stove when it's not in use. The removable water tank that stands on the backside of the oven (around the chimney) is imo better than the chimney-version, because once the water is boiling, I can remove it from the heat. I don't want to vaporize several pints of water under my tarp or inside the tent. For the chimney stove, I've acquired some fittin' heatproof "bricks" (more plates, around 2cm thick). Now I have more consistant heat in there and can bake mini-Pizzas or small breads inside the oven. Nice to know: the smallest (2 pint) Aluminium "Boyscout-pot" fits inside the oven! "Cowboy beans", stew, baked potatoes, even lasagne is possible to prepaire outdoors! Not in big amounts, but together with the steaks, eggs or what ever (out the the frying pan) it's a nice extra. The handle of the draft-control indeed gets very hot, but it must not be hold to use, just a slight tip to the end (use a stick of wood if it's too hot for the fingers) is enough to adjust the draft. Once the oven burns well and has some embers, I use hardwood as thick as possible (but not as long as possible) and when that burns well, I reduce draft as much as possible to get the wood not burning too fast. When I need as long as possible lasting heat (overnight in the tent) I lay some fireproof stones on top of the oven as additional heat storage. The G-Stove and its additional gimmicks is somewhat of a clever product - only if You got a very big tent, its heating power (some say around 4kW) might be a bit too few.
It’s much more solid than I anticipated even though a lot of reviews said it was. The welding isn’t some weak spot touch kind of stuff. The pipes are much more hefty than I thought as well. A lot of reviews might be paid or sponsored or free so it’s always nice when the product actually comes through on its hype. It’s definitely a purchase I do not regret. 😁👍🏼
Thanks. I looked at that one. For my purposes, I didn’t need a folding backpackers stove. The Winnerwell series of stoves looks to be a good brand for that. But yes, this tank of a stove is going to last me a long while. Thanks for the feedback and keep your sparks in your hinges!😁👍🏼
Hey Arch nice review. I have this stove as well. I opted for the extension legs to allow me to place an inexpensive disposable aluminum turkey roaster type pan underneath the door for ash maintenance. We have several hot tents including a 12 x 12 Kodiak canvas which was kept quite toasty in -10F (our coldest test so far). Very pleased with this little stove. If you burn coniferous wood though, you have to clean the arrestor more often. Cheers from Colorado!!
I’m not a hot tent type (being Canadian, I already get my fill of winter more than I like! lol) but I see the appeal. The leg option was a no brainer for me. Besides, I’m one of those people that wants ALL the options but thankfully I have a small ‘off switch’ to curb some of that unbridled spending. I have a lot of hardwood since I like smoking (been too long since I did. Darn!) and hopefully I can leave the coniferous woods to small open pit fires. Stop sending your Colorado Low pressure systems our way! We just got dumped on again here in Ontario! 😁👍🏼
Much appreciated. The stove works fine without the added accessories I wanted. I got the extras to fit my needs. The extras a lot of other stoves may include are potentially possible because of the lower build quality or country of manufacture. It’s that old “buyer beware” credo again. Make sure to read the fine print of any stove you are interested in & research as many as you can so you know you’re getting the one that suits your needs. 😁👍🏼
@@ArchieInRealLife Once I take that thing wherever I'm going camping, in a short time I will not care how nice the welds are. Function is first, durability next. Welds aren't even in the top 5. What it looks like after a season of heavy use is really how good it is. I'd like to see a video AFTER a full season of use...not just a few times out. Some of my best gear didn't have fancy logos.
There is a lot of budget gear that are fantastic. Mora Companion knives come to mind immediately. I don’t like paying solely for a name brand either when I know there are comparable items at a better price out there.
I need to use it more often but I don’t anticipate it getting to dirty or sooty or discoloured. I also tend to keep care of my things so hopefully it doesn’t get too shabby looking.
I have the smaller version and I use it in my house as my primary source of heating, it's 19 square meters and it's more then enough to heat it in the winter months no problem. Sitting at 26C no problem win a couple of hours.
There's no need for the damper inside the flue either. Should be able to control the burn completely with the combustion air damper -- much less likely to smoke inside that way as well.
I ordered Gstove including 17 items on April 28 2020. Order No: 100 3089. Receipt No; 5174-2548-3554-0073. I had received 1st shipment 8 items in April 2021. But The Gstove does not make shipments until now. I have not received 9 items. The Gstove doesn't keep the promise. The Gstove is a bad company.
I also liked how responsive my hand was to the heat of said airflow control. lol Between the flue and the forward vent, it’s easy to get the flame and heat you need.

A well done review. After my first burn it was difficult to separate the pipes so I ordered a pipe brush from them. Maybe I didn't burn it hot enough? Still, this little stove rocks!

@@ArchieInRealLife I'm in the high country of central AZ, 5,500'- 6,000', and that first burn was manzanita, which is more oily than I expected, like cedar. Should have burned the cleaner burning oak. Also going to stay away from juniper and pine if I can help it, or burn it hotter. The optional accessories are well thought out and of top quality.
Thanks for the video and a pretty comprehensive review. Looks like a good product. I like the workmanship in the build. I was brought up with wood heat and cooking facilities and still use wood for the most part. I think this would make an excellent tent or camp stove or as you say, for emergencies!
A lot of people have relayed or reviewed their contentment using it as a hot tent stove. I camp a bit but not in hot tent style. Hopefully, I never have to use this for emergency heating but I am prepared to do so. Safety precautions are ready!
I’ll be able to do more configurations once I get the water boiler, oven and some 90 degree pipes. Delicious configurations hopefully. No idea what I can do in the oven but it’ll be fun to find out.
@@ArchieInRealLife If you could get some of your neighbors to buy a G-Stove you could build a ventilation ' grid ' that connects all of the stoves to a single smoke exhaust extraction point. You could do the same with the water boiler once you get it.
I just used most of the pipes I had. Mainly to get it past my smokebush. And to see if it would be stable or flimsy. It was quite sturdy. You can make it taller or shorter to your needs. You can also order more pipes if needed.
Had an airtight ( small ) wood stove in my VW panel van a long time ago and it kept me warm as toast during the winter . No insulation in the van and lots of rust holes for ventilation! Now several decades later i have a Toyota Sienna van and I want another wood stove. This seems to be a good one to copy! Copy, because I want a smaller version than what they make. Thanks for the video.
I’ve seen a few videos of people altering their vehicles to accommodate various woodstoves. I’m not that mechanically adept in that area but it’s cool to see some of the solutions people come up with in those situations. I guess that could be said of any situation in need of a solution. Somebody somewhere will have an ingenious solution. That’s why get caught going down rabbit holes on YT far too often. 😂 Keep on truckin’! (Do they say that anymore?)🤔😁👍🏼
I'd to see what it looks like after six months of regular use, three times a week, twice a day. What issues with rust, metal deformation, hot spot burn thru, tar form, etc. Plus what range of heat and how easy to control.
I know I won’t be the channel to see that. lol I have no reason to use it that often. You’d need a hardcore bushcraft survivalist channel for something that intense. As for the heat controls, the flue and damper give a lot of options for airflow and heat.
I've got mine not in regular use, but I own it since more than 6 Years (may 2017) and used it about as often as You asked. No burn through, no deformation. The only part that shows physical wear is the grid/grille inside the stove. That looks like rusty/burnt from the heat of the embers and probably needs to be replaced, in a few Years.
You should save yourself a bunch of cash and build your own stove from an old steel mailbox. I made one three years ago from stuff I had laying around and it's a great little stove. I bought some sections of dryer vent pipe for in tent usage and everything collapses and fits inside, takes up the space of a mailbox and only weighs a couple of pounds.
It’s a little late to tell me now! lmao. Cool idea, though. I wasn’t looking specifically for a backpacking or collapsible woodstove. This one happened to fit my needs. Also, I believe you over estimate my engineering skills and available workshop supplies. lol I have tried to make a couple hobo can stoves with limited success. I definitely need more practice in that area. I just end up with butchered cans. lol
@@ArchieInRealLife practice makes perfect. It's not that difficult really and just basic tools are required. The key is to not over think it and keep it simple. But, hey you got what you needed and as long as you're satisfied, that's what counts.
I’m still tinkering since I do like some of the smaller cook kits or ideas on YT. There’s one of a basic paint can turned into a mini stove. People can be quite ingenious. I’m gonna go steal my neighbours mailbox and give it a try. lmao
That was a very good review and a show of useful options you should get and why they are useful. I really like the portability of it. There are very small ones used in boats that burn wood or coal/charcoal or ones that burn propane. If I had a trailer I would look at those but for tent camping or a little hunting shack this would be perfect!
It’s definitely not a backpacking stove. I’m too old to be lugging that around. (That’s why I stole that old luggage bag from my mother in law! lol) It and all of it’s parts combined is quite heavy but for camping it’ll be quite handy and fun.
Very glad I watched this video. I've been considering a small wood stove such as that one but hadn't found the exact one I wanted to go with. That one looks PERFECT for my needs. Loved that it has so many optional accessories to expand its use. The build quality looks excellent for a small transportable stove. A small cast iron Skillet, small Dutch Oven, and a small Grill/Griddle completes it for me. Thank you so very much for your review...💯Yes, that's the stove I want! 👍
Glad I could help. I almost hate to tell you they are often out of stock but if you keep checking back, you might find one available. That’s how I managed to get one. Just kept logging in and checking inventory. Definitely worth it for me. Glad I could help you out. Hopefully, you can snag one soon.
@@ArchieInRealLife Thank for the added info. The out of stocks don't surprise me since they are so nicely built. I'm in no hurry it'sa Want, Not a Need for me. I love collecting all types and styles of portable stoves and backpacking stoves. I spend approximately 7 months a year camping... tents, van, Airstream camper, and my Class A Motorcoach. Wintering now in Florida. Have a fine and always safe New 2023 to you.
Good review but am I the only one who feels he is watching an episode of the Red Green Show? Your voice is quite similar and your delivery is dead on to Red.
@@ArchieInRealLife Oh it was a compliment. One of my favorite shows. Just gave me a chuckle listening to you. Glad you understood the reference. Trust me, watch one of his episodes on TH-cam and then listen to your posting, the timing of your phrasing is great. Thanks again.
There is no "need" for the grate inside the stove. I learned when cleaning my woodstove to leave some of the ashes inside. The ashes insulate against the embers and the fire burns better. Too bad the loading opening isn't on top -- maybe hinged at the rear edge? One could cook directly on a grille and any drippings would simply drip down on the coals -- like a fancy down-draft indoor grille. :)
This is probably too small to leave ashes in for extended periods, especially with its main feature being mobility. As for grilling, I’ll stick to my 14” Weber which is actually small enough to cart around. A small grill add-on would be a cool feature though.

That sucks. I would continue to correspond with them as much as possible. I ordered and received mine plus add-ons through the Canadian website in a timely fashion. I can only speak to the Canadian site experience. I have seen that they did go through a period of a buyout and new ownership so I would try to contact the new company as well.

ulimately, if i vented the stack out the top window in the house, could I use it inside for power outtages? at least we could have hot water and a surface for heating up food. we lose power for more than a day at times. and i would insulate the window, wall, and floor where it'll sit with that fire proof flashing.
It is not made to be used indoors as per the manufacturer and I agree with them completely. Admittedly, I did personally buy this for camping and potential power outages. While I understand the danger and potentially deadly risks associated with using this or any stove indoors, (ie. house fires & carbon monoxide poisoning) I have constructed a foot wide, 7 ft tall plywood board with a hot tent silicone vent that can be inserted into my patio door opening to vent to the outside with the spark arrestor attachment. Additionally… Common sense also dictates that anyone intent on using this indoors should guarantee the presence of proper ventilation, the clearing of the area around the pipes, exhaust & stove,(above, below and to the sides) proper supervision at ALL times and a couple of working carbon monoxide detectors & a full fire extinguisher or two nearby! Anything less would be irresponsible and dangerous. I have seen a number of YT videos where it has been used in structures other than tents. There’s even videos of it being used in camper vans!! That’s a little risky for my tastes but personal responsibility falls on the end user. That said, and I can’t stress this enough, it is NOT meant for indoor use and I DO NOT advise or suggest to anyone to use it for any indoor purpose nor near any structure, indoors or out. I certainly do not now, nor would I ever, condone it’s use indoors. Safety must be paramount at all times. So my answer to your question of using it in your house is no. Whatever you choose to do beyond that, I assume you’re a responsible adult, just make sure you do it with a excessive amount of safety in mind. But don’t do it. 😁👍🏼
I got a chuckle from this “ty” reply. I send long winded replies or texts to my daughter or son and they reply with “k”. Hey. At least they answer! 😂 Btw, yw! (Do people use yw for “you’re welcome”?)🤔
It’s fire temperature hot. And it cooked my dinner. So it’s also dinner cooking hot. The vent was too hot to handle for an extended period. Not sure what those would be on a laser gun. lol Google says 300 to 1000 degrees. I actually have a temp reader. Didn’t even cross my mind to use it.
Stove is great. It’s a well built beast. It’ll definitely work to keep you warm but I’m with you, I prefer my snow in the form of rain and my camping sunny and warm. Lol But then again there aren’t any mosquitoes in the winter! Hmm. :)
I had an original CCC folding stove... I had to make my own pipe but I made it out of along solid piece.... I won't forget the original equipment the CCC use that was one box stove I won't forget and it folded down and would pack away..... Someone needs to see if that thing of rock it up man
I’m not a backpacker so I wasn’t looking specifically for a folding stove but I do have a small twig stove that works just fine and I’ve cooked on it. The folding stoves are pretty cool and a lot more portable than this hefty beast.
I believe they are still made in Norway. The original company declared bankruptcy and was bought out by GST Gear. I am not certain but I think the manufacturing still occurs in Norway.
The stove itself was $460 when I bought it in June last year. With the add-ons I bought, it was $715 then with Ontario tax that was $100 plus shipping of $58 my final amount was $873 CDN.
The heat going off to the sides is pretty stable. As long as whatever you put on the racks isn’t in direct contact or too close to the body of the stove itself, it’ll dry your knickers for sure! lol That said, they also have a clothes drying pipe with hangers that can fold out above the stove which is pretty ingenious.
@@ArchieInRealLife I agree, I have seen this stove a lot and it's one of the best ones I have seen and have been wanting to get one but they are always sold out, so thank you fo the link as this will hopefully allow me to finally get one! You're a life saver!
It’s certainly a solid build. I don’t backpack so I knew I wanted a beast that I could just throw in my vehicle and use when camping. Plus it has a number of add-ons I can pick up when I can. It’ll also be easy enough to pull out when I have some company over and just want to hang out on the deck in spring or fall. There are a lot of flimsy looking stoves out there and it definitely helps to do some research. All sorts for all reasons. The choices are extensive.
I answered this earlier on another question. Had to find it and then figure out to cut and paste. Here it is. Phew. The stove itself was $460 when I bought it in June last year. With the add-ons I bought, it was $715 then with Ontario tax that was $100 plus shipping of $58 my final amount was $873 CDN.
They have been bought out after declaring bankruptcy by GSTGear. They still manufacture the stoves at the moment under that company but they kept the GStove name.
@@ArchieInRealLifeI couldn't find them on their website. On which website are they advertising them? Great stove, SOMEBODY should step up and make them.
@@ArchieInRealLife Thanks but both the Heat and View and XL H&V stoves are "Out of Stock". Out of production? Production update notice in Canada site, not appearing on USA site.
Not sure about who gets what product or when it’ll be available but I just keep checking the site every now and then and hope I get on when inventory arrives. I managed to snag this stove during a forecasted inventory restock and wanted to get another part but I’m also waiting on some more inventory to arrive. So at this point, my suggestion is that you just keep dropping by the site every so often like myself to see if anything becomes available. Problem is, I have to have expendable cash available at the same time! lol
Much appreciated. I’m just learning about & expanding my knowledge of the bushcraft/camping/paracord/prepping/emergency preparedness sphere. So I never know what I’ll do as far as content. All of this was born out of anger management. Since Covid, everything aggravated me so I knew I needed a distraction. The bushcraft popped up and led to the camping to the emergency preparedness. And here we are. lol Also, this was more an outlet for my kids to watch after I’ve tripped off to the worm farm. Had no idea I would get subscribers out of it which is weird I suppose. So now I guess I have more “kids” to entertain. lol I’ll just show stuff I’m doing in real life. Gardening on the horizon. I really need to stop biting off more than I can chew. lol Welcome to it.
Not really. It’s a water cooler type tank that wraps partially around the pipe stack and sits on top of the upper shelf of the stove. It has a spigot and you can dispense water directly from the tank. It would also act as a dispensary of heat after the fire went out, I suppose. You wouldn’t be able to pick it up once it’s hot unless you wore insulated oven mitts. But if you have an actual kettle, it could sit on the lower level and a small cooking cup could be heated on the upper level. You’d have ALL your beverage goodies ready to go! 😁👍🏼
It’s a pretty ingenious idea to maximize space. They even have a pipe with clothesline straight line hangers built in. I want all the add-ons but my wallet says I need to be “fiscally responsible”. He’s such a killjoy. 😂
People have asked me that. So I put that in the description. I didn’t include it because it’s very specific to what add-ons people might get. So someone might just want the basics but I went a little bit fancy and got some extras. Still want more extras. My wallet says I need to show discretion. lol
If you like beans you cannot get better that Chinese long beans you can get from Rare seeds. You will not believe how much, but they grow long and nee da trellis. I was a master gardener so when I say these are great beans you can believe me. I also grow Pok choy in my house under lights Nice video
Admittedly, the Bok Choy was an experiment. I literally did nothing to it except drop some seeds in a fabric bag. I literally ignored it. Which is kind of how most of my garden worked. lol I didn’t meddle too much and had a pretty successful yield. This was the first time I gardened so I was pretty happy with all the stuff I got. Thanks for the bean tip. 😁👍🏼
Basically, yes. It’s much heavier gauze than an oil barrel however. Unlike a lot of other wood stoves, I could stand on this without much worry. Unless it was already burning. lol
I grew up with a Franklin stove with the brass ball warmers on top. I thought they were so cool when I was a kid. I’d just sit there warming my hands after tobogganing while my hot chocolate warmed up.
GEEZ THAT'S A STOVE.... I LIKE THE BARREL STOVES YOU CAN BUY A BARREL STOVE KIT AND YOU CAN PUT IT ON A 30-GALLON DRUM OR A 55-GALLON DRUM AND THEN YOU GOT A REAL STOVE HE CAN COOK INSIDE OR OUTSIDE.... THEN BISCUITS TASTE BETTER COOK INSIDE THE STOVE IN CAST IRON
Interesting. Please note, saying "off-of" is incorrect English, and redundant. "Off" is all you need say. Off the ground, the wall, the bed, the car door, the table etc ad fin.
Duly noted. “Off of” is considered informal speech or writing, so in this instance, while the “of” is grammatically unnecessary, I am not writing a formal statement or thesis nor am I giving a formal speech, so using it is not a serious usage error. To terrify you even more, I’m Canadian and I also end many of my sentences with “eh?”. lol But I shall put your suggestion to good use and implore you to get off my back. lol That joke writes itself and is made completely lightheartedly. I couldn’t resist. No slight or ill will intended. Full disclosure, I have also been known to correct the grammar of others on occasion. Now I can add this to my list. 😁👍🏼
@@ArchieInRealLife So it is colloquial speech but many do not know the difference and the many may be trying to take an example 'off-of' your the English. To use the words of your fellow Canadian, Jordan Peterson, "So what. It may be colloquial but it is still bloody annoying." It doesn't take away from the quality of your video, for which I am more than thankful, especially seeing you grow successfully Bok Choi which I hope to grow on my terrace after the European winter is over. The seeds are sitting and waiting. I'm hoping that I can say that I am also successful. ( I'll stay off your back if you stay off-of my 'sensitivities'. 😀)
If any one is coming to my channel for proper English, I fear they will be led astray with my diction. lol As for Bok Choy, I did grow some on a whim. I’m not what one would call a fan of Bok Choy but it was a good addition to a smoothie after I dehydrated it. I don’t really follow Jordan Peterson mainly because he seems annoying. lol Good luck on the terrrace growing. That’s a whole other ball game. Lots of great info online for sure.
@@ArchieInRealLife. Bro , don’t trip on that person! Here in the states , they are what we call , an annoying asshole ! Trying to make them sound intelligent , while putting someone else down ! They have to be really bored , to have nothing to do , other than commenting on some strangers grammar ! Did you notice , that they were the ONLY one to snivel , which meant nobody else even noticed , or cared about your pronunciation !
As my replies denotes, I’m not all that fussed about it. There are more important things in life than grammar but I’m also not one to be dismissive or resentful about information, whatever the topic. It was a quaint discussion. There are far worse things in the social media scope than receiving a grammar lesson. I’m learning more and more that it’s easier just to enjoy the day and not let little stuff get to me. There are too many bigger things that require our attention and look to tear us down. That’s where our focus should be. I think at times if 8 billion people did ONE kind thing a day, how cool would this world be? 8 billion people doing something positive and humanity would be unstoppable. Let’s enjoy the day. Life’s too short.
Yes. I couldn’t stress it enough. You’re not supposed to use them indoors but we all know people do. I’ve seen them used in camper vans and the people have gone through extraordinary steps to make them safe! Common sense has to rule the day when it comes to using these in any situation but as we know, common sense isn’t all that common. Every precaution should be taken to use any wood stove or fire safely. There are far too many tragedies when people don’t plan ahead when using these in any scenario. It can’t be stressed enough. Ventilation, carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, fire blankets, access to water, etc. Safety first. Safety always.
Norway. I try to avoid most Chinese products but I live in a world where that reality isn’t always possible. Companies are even trying to trick us into the old “Designed in USA” or “Assembled in Canada”. Which is just a deceptive way of saying “Yeah, it was still built in China but we figured these cheeky special phrases would make you feel better.”

Yeah, I enjoy mine. Gotta find reasons to use it more.
It’s definitely not a backpacker stove but it is a solid build and will last a long time.
Good for camping and emergency preparedness or hot tent.
I hope to get a few more accessories when the supply chain and my wallet allow! lol
Until then Happy Holiday Heating! Thanks for the input!
I would like to find one second hand….
Best I can suggest there is subscribing to the public garage sale sites and enacting notifications about woodstoves and hope one pops up for sale.
Archie, thank you for your well done video & review. I hope you continue making more videos about the “random” things in your life, as mentioned on your ABOUT” page of your Home Screen. I liked that you’re not attempting to sound like you know everything. Instead, you were refreshingly humble & honest, so thank you for that. I’m definitely looking into a G-Stove Canada.
I like to say that if you think you know everything you just prove you know nothing.
Also, you mentioned I was humble.
My modesty is the best thing about me! 😂👍🏼
Glad you enjoyed it!
Tip: 1/2" hardibacker makes a great base for a stove like this. Lighter and stronger than cement board and totally water proof!
Thanks. I’ll look into that. Safer is better!!
Nice review of a very well thought out (and fine made) product.
I own my G-Stove since 6+ Years (bought in May 2017) and I'm still amazed every time I use it.
I've also ordered the spark arrestor, the flow control, the removable water boiler/tank and the chimney-"oven".
About a Year (or so) later I've ordered a pair of 45° chimney parts and the optional chimney cooking plate and also the longer legs.
But I've shortened the legs (around 4") so they still can, like the original legs, flip nice under the stove when it's not in use.
The removable water tank that stands on the backside of the oven (around the chimney) is imo better than the chimney-version, because once the water is boiling, I can remove it from the heat. I don't want to vaporize several pints of water under my tarp or inside the tent.
For the chimney stove, I've acquired some fittin' heatproof "bricks" (more plates, around 2cm thick). Now I have more consistant heat in there and can bake mini-Pizzas or small breads inside the oven. Nice to know: the smallest (2 pint) Aluminium "Boyscout-pot" fits inside the oven! "Cowboy beans", stew, baked potatoes, even lasagne is possible to prepaire outdoors! Not in big amounts, but together with the steaks, eggs or what ever (out the the frying pan) it's a nice extra.
The handle of the draft-control indeed gets very hot, but it must not be hold to use, just a slight tip to the end (use a stick of wood if it's too hot for the fingers) is enough to adjust the draft.
Once the oven burns well and has some embers, I use hardwood as thick as possible (but not as long as possible) and when that burns well, I reduce draft as much as possible to get the wood not burning too fast. When I need as long as possible lasting heat (overnight in the tent) I lay some fireproof stones on top of the oven as additional heat storage.
The G-Stove and its additional gimmicks is somewhat of a clever product - only if You got a very big tent, its heating power (some say around 4kW) might be a bit too few.
I was surprised, it seemed better built than I had expected. You could also dry kindling on the racks.
It’s much more solid than I anticipated even though a lot of reviews said it was.
The welding isn’t some weak spot touch kind of stuff.
The pipes are much more hefty than I thought as well.
A lot of reviews might be paid or sponsored or free so it’s always nice when the product actually comes through on its hype.
It’s definitely a purchase I do not regret.
😁👍🏼
Great vid! The gstove is a tank best stove out! I bought the danchel outdoor portable stove and it warped and sparks started flying out the hinges!
Thanks.
I looked at that one. For my purposes, I didn’t need a folding backpackers stove.
The Winnerwell series of stoves looks to be a good brand for that.
But yes, this tank of a stove is going to last me a long while.
Thanks for the feedback and keep your sparks in your hinges!😁👍🏼
From Canada fantastic review ! Thank you !
It’ll definitely keep you warm in a hot tent but I’ll use it for those chilly nights on my deck when friends drop by.
I would have tested it during our recent blizzard but the wind was so bad my enclosed deck was snowed in anyway!! lol
Hey Arch nice review. I have this stove as well. I opted for the extension legs to allow me to place an inexpensive disposable aluminum turkey roaster type pan underneath the door for ash maintenance. We have several hot tents including a 12 x 12 Kodiak canvas which was kept quite toasty in -10F (our coldest test so far). Very pleased with this little stove. If you burn coniferous wood though, you have to clean the arrestor more often. Cheers from Colorado!!
I’m not a hot tent type (being Canadian, I already get my fill of winter more than I like! lol) but I see the appeal.
The leg option was a no brainer for me.
Besides, I’m one of those people that wants ALL the options but thankfully I have a small ‘off switch’ to curb some of that unbridled spending.
I have a lot of hardwood since I like smoking (been too long since I did. Darn!) and hopefully I can leave the coniferous woods to small open pit fires.
Stop sending your Colorado Low pressure systems our way!
We just got dumped on again here in Ontario!
😁👍🏼
It needs so many accessories. A lot of this type of stove has those extras included. Nice review.
Much appreciated.
The stove works fine without the added accessories I wanted. I got the extras to fit my needs.
The extras a lot of other stoves may include are potentially possible because of the lower build quality or country of manufacture.
It’s that old “buyer beware” credo again.
Make sure to read the fine print of any stove you are interested in & research as many as you can so you know you’re getting the one that suits your needs. 😁👍🏼
@@ArchieInRealLife Once I take that thing wherever I'm going camping, in a short time I will not care how nice the welds are. Function is first, durability next. Welds aren't even in the top 5. What it looks like after a season of heavy use is really how good it is. I'd like to see a video AFTER a full season of use...not just a few times out. Some of my best gear didn't have fancy logos.
There is a lot of budget gear that are fantastic. Mora Companion knives come to mind immediately.
I don’t like paying solely for a name brand either when I know there are comparable items at a better price out there.
I love how it didn't discolor after heating it up. Awesome sauce!
I need to use it more often but I don’t anticipate it getting to dirty or sooty or discoloured.
I also tend to keep care of my things so hopefully it doesn’t get too shabby looking.
I have the smaller version and I use it in my house as my primary source of heating, it's 19 square meters and it's more then enough to heat it in the winter months no problem. Sitting at 26C no problem win a couple of hours.
What a great little stove. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching.
@@ArchieInRealLife
There's no need for the damper inside the flue either. Should be able to control the burn completely with the combustion air damper -- much less likely to smoke inside that way as well.
I ordered Gstove including 17 items on April 28 2020. Order No: 100 3089. Receipt No; 5174-2548-3554-0073. I had received 1st shipment 8 items in April 2021. But The Gstove does not make shipments until now. I have not received 9 items. The Gstove doesn't keep the promise. The Gstove is a bad company.
That is a delightful looking piece of kit. I like how responsive the burn is to the airflow controls.
I also liked how responsive my hand was to the heat of said airflow control. lol
Between the flue and the forward vent, it’s easy to get the flame and heat you need.

Great little stove. Just like the big ones with a flu damper and cold air intake. Wonder if a BioBrick would fit in there?
The inside of the burning chamber on the standard model is a little over 14 inches long, if that helps.
A well done review. After my first burn it was difficult to separate the pipes so I ordered a pipe brush from them. Maybe I didn't burn it hot enough? Still, this little stove rocks!
Definitely a good stove. I’m gonna use it more often, just because I can! 😁👍🏼

Try contacting their new owner GSTGear. They should have some info for you.
Couldn’t hurt.
@@ArchieInRealLife I'm in the high country of central AZ, 5,500'- 6,000', and that first burn was manzanita, which is more oily than I expected, like cedar. Should have burned the cleaner burning oak. Also going to stay away from juniper and pine if I can help it, or burn it hotter. The optional accessories are well thought out and of top quality.
Thanks for the video and a pretty comprehensive review. Looks like a good product. I like the workmanship in the build. I was brought up with wood heat and cooking facilities and still use wood for the most part. I think this would make an excellent tent or camp stove or as you say, for emergencies!
A lot of people have relayed or reviewed their contentment using it as a hot tent stove.
I camp a bit but not in hot tent style.
Hopefully, I never have to use this for emergency heating but I am prepared to do so.
Safety precautions are ready!
That's an extremely impressive stove pipe ventilation configuration you've created there.
I’ll be able to do more configurations once I get the water boiler, oven and some 90 degree pipes.
Delicious configurations hopefully.
No idea what I can do in the oven but it’ll be fun to find out.
@@ArchieInRealLife If you could get some of your neighbors to buy a G-Stove you could build a ventilation ' grid ' that connects all of the stoves to a single smoke exhaust extraction point. You could do the same with the water boiler once you get it.
I’m not certain what you mean but I’m not that near my neighbours.
May I ask why the stack is so lengthy?
I just used most of the pipes I had.
Mainly to get it past my smokebush. And to see if it would be stable or flimsy.
It was quite sturdy.
You can make it taller or shorter to your needs. You can also order more pipes if needed.
Had an airtight ( small ) wood stove in my VW panel van a long time ago and it kept me warm as toast during the winter . No insulation in the van and lots of rust holes for ventilation! Now several decades later i have a Toyota Sienna van and I want another wood stove. This seems to be a good one to copy! Copy, because I want a smaller version than what they make. Thanks for the video.
I’ve seen a few videos of people altering their vehicles to accommodate various woodstoves.
I’m not that mechanically adept in that area but it’s cool to see some of the solutions people come up with in those situations.
I guess that could be said of any situation in need of a solution.
Somebody somewhere will have an ingenious solution.
That’s why get caught going down rabbit holes on YT far too often. 😂
Keep on truckin’!
(Do they say that anymore?)🤔😁👍🏼
I'd to see what it looks like after six months of regular use, three times a week, twice a day. What issues with rust, metal deformation, hot spot burn thru, tar form, etc. Plus what range of heat and how easy to control.
I know I won’t be the channel to see that. lol
I have no reason to use it that often.
You’d need a hardcore bushcraft survivalist channel for something that intense.
As for the heat controls, the flue and damper give a lot of options for airflow and heat.
I've got mine not in regular use, but I own it since more than 6 Years (may 2017) and used it about as often as You asked.
No burn through, no deformation. The only part that shows physical wear is the grid/grille inside the stove. That looks like rusty/burnt from the heat of the embers and probably needs to be replaced, in a few Years.
You should save yourself a bunch of cash and build your own stove from an old steel mailbox. I made one three years ago from stuff I had laying around and it's a great little stove. I bought some sections of dryer vent pipe for in tent usage and everything collapses and fits inside, takes up the space of a mailbox and only weighs a couple of pounds.
It’s a little late to tell me now!
lmao.
Cool idea, though.
I wasn’t looking specifically for a backpacking or collapsible woodstove.
This one happened to fit my needs.
Also, I believe you over estimate my engineering skills and available workshop supplies. lol
I have tried to make a couple hobo can stoves with limited success.
I definitely need more practice in that area.
I just end up with butchered cans. lol
@@ArchieInRealLife practice makes perfect. It's not that difficult really and just basic tools are required. The key is to not over think it and keep it simple. But, hey you got what you needed and as long as you're satisfied, that's what counts.
I’m still tinkering since I do like some of the smaller cook kits or ideas on YT.
There’s one of a basic paint can turned into a mini stove.
People can be quite ingenious.
I’m gonna go steal my neighbours mailbox and give it a try. lmao
Oop! Bubble wrap!
*don't get distracted
😆🤣🤣🤣
It doesn’t take much to amuse me! 😂
Nice stove! Great in-depth review
Much appreciated. Hope it helped.
That was a very good review and a show of useful options you should get and why they are useful. I really like the portability of it. There are very small ones used in boats that burn wood or coal/charcoal or ones that burn propane. If I had a trailer I would look at those but for tent camping or a little hunting shack this would be perfect!
It’s definitely not a backpacking stove.
I’m too old to be lugging that around. (That’s why I stole that old luggage bag from my mother in law! lol)
It and all of it’s parts combined is quite heavy but for camping it’ll be quite handy and fun.
Thanks…no thanks. $900.00!
The base model is $460 CDN. The add-ons I selected, tax and shipping take it up.
The biggest savings here is don’t be Canadian. lol
Very glad I watched this video. I've been considering a small wood stove such as that one but hadn't found the exact one I wanted to go with. That one looks PERFECT for my needs. Loved that it has so many optional accessories to expand its use. The build quality looks excellent for a small transportable stove. A small cast iron Skillet, small Dutch Oven, and a small Grill/Griddle completes it for me. Thank you so very much for your review...💯Yes, that's the stove I want! 👍
Glad I could help.
I almost hate to tell you they are often out of stock but if you keep checking back, you might find one available.
That’s how I managed to get one.
Just kept logging in and checking inventory.
Definitely worth it for me.
Glad I could help you out.
Hopefully, you can snag one soon.
@@ArchieInRealLife Thank for the added info. The out of stocks don't surprise me since they are so nicely built. I'm in no hurry it'sa Want, Not a Need for me. I love collecting all types and styles of portable stoves and backpacking stoves. I spend approximately 7 months a year camping... tents, van, Airstream camper, and my Class A Motorcoach. Wintering now in Florida. Have a fine and always safe New 2023 to you.
Good review but am I the only one who feels he is watching an episode of the Red Green Show? Your voice is quite similar and your delivery is dead on to Red.

Great detailed review! Thank you very much!
I like to hear myself talk. Lol
But it was fun getting it together and working. Very simple.
RACKS can hold lots of bread/buns... nice unit.....
The racks will hold the crusty baguette while the baguette will be a nice holder for my steak strips!
Oh man, now I need a Philly Cheesesteak!! 😁👍🏼
There is no "need" for the grate inside the stove. I learned when cleaning my woodstove to leave some of the ashes inside. The ashes insulate against the embers and the fire burns better. Too bad the loading opening isn't on top -- maybe hinged at the rear edge? One could cook directly on a grille and any drippings would simply drip down on the coals -- like a fancy down-draft indoor grille. :)
This is probably too small to leave ashes in for extended periods, especially with its main feature being mobility.
As for grilling, I’ll stick to my 14” Weber which is actually small enough to cart around.
A small grill add-on would be a cool feature though.

That sucks. I would continue to correspond with them as much as possible.
I ordered and received mine plus add-ons through the Canadian website in a timely fashion.
I can only speak to the Canadian site experience.
I have seen that they did go through a period of a buyout and new ownership so I would try to contact the new company as well.

only reservation i have with the Gstove is using it a hot tent and removing ambers and ash.
ulimately, if i vented the stack out the top window in the house, could I use it inside for power outtages? at least we could have hot water and a surface for heating up food. we lose power for more than a day at times. and i would insulate the window, wall, and floor where it'll sit with that fire proof flashing.
It is not made to be used indoors as per the manufacturer and I agree with them completely.
Admittedly, I did personally buy this for camping and potential power outages.
While I understand the danger and potentially deadly risks associated with using this or any stove indoors, (ie. house fires & carbon monoxide poisoning) I have constructed a foot wide, 7 ft tall plywood board with a hot tent silicone vent that can be inserted into my patio door opening to vent to the outside with the spark arrestor attachment.
Additionally…
Common sense also dictates that anyone intent on using this indoors should guarantee the presence of proper ventilation, the clearing of the area around the pipes, exhaust & stove,(above, below and to the sides) proper supervision at ALL times and a couple of working carbon monoxide detectors & a full fire extinguisher or two nearby!
Anything less would be irresponsible and dangerous.
I have seen a number of YT videos where it has been used in structures other than tents.
There’s even videos of it being used in camper vans!!
That’s a little risky for my tastes but personal responsibility falls on the end user.
That said, and I can’t stress this enough, it is NOT meant for indoor use and I DO NOT advise or suggest to anyone to use it for any indoor purpose nor near any structure, indoors or out.
I certainly do not now, nor would I ever, condone it’s use indoors.
Safety must be paramount at all times.
So my answer to your question of using it in your house is no.
Whatever you choose to do beyond that, I assume you’re a responsible adult, just make sure you do it with a excessive amount of safety in mind.
But don’t do it. 😁👍🏼

It would have been nice if you used one of those laser digital readout temperature guns.
It’s fire temperature hot.
And it cooked my dinner.
So it’s also dinner cooking hot.
The vent was too hot to handle for an extended period.
Not sure what those would be on a laser gun. lol
Google says 300 to 1000 degrees.
I actually have a temp reader.
Didn’t even cross my mind to use it.
I guess I’m not seeing it? Bulky, small footprint … seeing well built, but what is the practical use?
Camp stove. Tent stove. Small structure stove. Van stove. Prepper stove. Emergency stove. Cook stove. Deck stove.
Depends on your need or want.
Would a old fashioned, two burner Colman give more options? Like more than one cooking surface? Lighter and not as much fuss to assemble?
If you’re main concern is just basic convenient cooking, a Coleman is a better option.
LOVE the stove! Camping in the winter? Not so much!
Stove is great. It’s a well built beast.
It’ll definitely work to keep you warm but I’m with you, I prefer my snow in the form of rain and my camping sunny and warm. Lol
But then again there aren’t any mosquitoes in the winter! Hmm. :)
I had an original CCC folding stove... I had to make my own pipe but I made it out of along solid piece.... I won't forget the original equipment the CCC use that was one box stove I won't forget and it folded down and would pack away..... Someone needs to see if that thing of rock it up man
I’m not a backpacker so I wasn’t looking specifically for a folding stove but I do have a small twig stove that works just fine and I’ve cooked on it.
The folding stoves are pretty cool and a lot more portable than this hefty beast.
hi what country is the stove made in ?
I believe they are still made in Norway.
The original company declared bankruptcy and was bought out by GST Gear.
I am not certain but I think the manufacturing still occurs in Norway.
What was your total price?
The stove itself was $460 when I bought it in June last year.
With the add-ons I bought, it was $715 then with Ontario tax that was $100 plus shipping of $58 my final amount was $873 CDN.
Incredible quality. Thanks for the video
Much appreciated.
Those side racks are perfect for putting your boots on if you're careful not to get the stove too hot.
The heat going off to the sides is pretty stable.
As long as whatever you put on the racks isn’t in direct contact or too close to the body of the stove itself, it’ll dry your knickers for sure! lol
That said, they also have a clothes drying pipe with hangers that can fold out above the stove which is pretty ingenious.
Thank you for the review.
No problem.
Hope it was helpful.
I spent quite a bit on it so if it helps people make an informed decision, all the better.
We need a safe camper stove for severe cold like what happened here in Louisiana in December.

Looks like it will last not the junk that after one use you don't want to carry it out with you
It’s certainly a solid build.
I don’t backpack so I knew I wanted a beast that I could just throw in my vehicle and use when camping.
Plus it has a number of add-ons I can pick up when I can.
It’ll also be easy enough to pull out when I have some company over and just want to hang out on the deck in spring or fall.
There are a lot of flimsy looking stoves out there and it definitely helps to do some research.
All sorts for all reasons.
The choices are extensive.
I'm going to give that stove a serious look do you have a coupon code or any agreements
No. Sorry.
I have no affiliation with the company.
Nor was the video sponsored.
I just wanted a good solid stove and this fit the bill.

A water boiler? You mean a kettle 😊
Not really. It’s a water cooler type tank that wraps partially around the pipe stack and sits on top of the upper shelf of the stove.
It has a spigot and you can dispense water directly from the tank.
It would also act as a dispensary of heat after the fire went out, I suppose.
You wouldn’t be able to pick it up once it’s hot unless you wore insulated oven mitts.
But if you have an actual kettle, it could sit on the lower level and a small cooking cup could be heated on the upper level.
You’d have ALL your beverage goodies ready to go! 😁👍🏼

Interesting. Please note, saying "off-of" is incorrect English, and redundant. "Off" is all you need say. Off the ground, the wall, the bed, the car door, the table etc ad fin.
Duly noted.
“Off of” is considered informal speech or writing, so in this instance, while the “of” is grammatically unnecessary, I am not writing a formal statement or thesis nor am I giving a formal speech, so using it is not a serious usage error.
To terrify you even more, I’m Canadian and I also end many of my sentences with “eh?”. lol
But I shall put your suggestion to good use and implore you to get off my back. lol
That joke writes itself and is made completely lightheartedly.
I couldn’t resist.
No slight or ill will intended.
Full disclosure, I have also been known to correct the grammar of others on occasion.
Now I can add this to my list. 😁👍🏼
@@ArchieInRealLife So it is colloquial speech but many do not know the difference and the many may be trying to take an example 'off-of' your the English. To use the words of your fellow Canadian, Jordan Peterson, "So what. It may be colloquial but it is still bloody annoying." It doesn't take away from the quality of your video, for which I am more than thankful, especially seeing you grow successfully Bok Choi which I hope to grow on my terrace after the European winter is over. The seeds are sitting and waiting. I'm hoping that I can say that I am also successful. ( I'll stay off your back if you stay off-of my 'sensitivities'. 😀)
If any one is coming to my channel for proper English, I fear they will be led astray with my diction. lol
As for Bok Choy, I did grow some on a whim.
I’m not what one would call a fan of Bok Choy but it was a good addition to a smoothie after I dehydrated it.
I don’t really follow Jordan Peterson mainly because he seems annoying. lol
Good luck on the terrrace growing.
That’s a whole other ball game. Lots of great info online for sure.
@@ArchieInRealLife. Bro , don’t trip on that person! Here in the states , they are what we call , an annoying asshole ! Trying to make them sound intelligent , while putting someone else down ! They have to be really bored , to have nothing to do , other than commenting on some strangers grammar ! Did you notice , that they were the ONLY one to snivel , which meant nobody else even noticed , or cared about your pronunciation !
As my replies denotes, I’m not all that fussed about it.
There are more important things in life than grammar but I’m also not one to be dismissive or resentful about information, whatever the topic.
It was a quaint discussion.
There are far worse things in the social media scope than receiving a grammar lesson.
I’m learning more and more that it’s easier just to enjoy the day and not let little stuff get to me.
There are too many bigger things that require our attention and look to tear us down.
That’s where our focus should be.
I think at times if 8 billion people did ONE kind thing a day, how cool would this world be?
8 billion people doing something positive and humanity would be unstoppable.
Let’s enjoy the day.
Life’s too short.
If you use one in the house crack a window and think before you act wood stoves are great but they are not idiot proof
Yes. I couldn’t stress it enough.
You’re not supposed to use them indoors but we all know people do.
I’ve seen them used in camper vans and the people have gone through extraordinary steps to make them safe!
Common sense has to rule the day when it comes to using these in any situation but as we know, common sense isn’t all that common.
Every precaution should be taken to use any wood stove or fire safely.
There are far too many tragedies when people don’t plan ahead when using these in any scenario.
It can’t be stressed enough.
Ventilation, carbon monoxide detectors, smoke detectors, fire extinguishers, fire blankets, access to water, etc.
Safety first. Safety always.
A Twig fire...😁😁
I didn’t want to get it to big. But it definitely gets the heat roaring. Even with the small wood.
Try to find one but looks like the company has gone
Head to GSTGear. They may be filling old orders and/or taking new ones.
I got mine from the GStove Canada website that has links to other countries.
Made in china?
Norway.
I try to avoid most Chinese products but I live in a world where that reality isn’t always possible.
Companies are even trying to trick us into the old “Designed in USA” or “Assembled in Canada”.
Which is just a deceptive way of saying “Yeah, it was still built in China but we figured these cheeky special phrases would make you feel better.”
Be careful with G stove !!!!? G stove Norway filed for bankruptcy last year and kept my money and never filled my order !!!!!! BEWARE AND WARNED !!!?
Try to contact GSTGear. They have bought them and might be able to give you some assistance.
@@ArchieInRealLife I filled out the claim form and never heard anything !!! They owe me an oven,mat,through the tent pipe,a 45 and 90 !!! I got the XL and water tank,30cm legs !!!! Love the stove...hate the company !!!

Better if you don't stop jest for a DOG, learn to be a Pro. then we will listen to you DA. You are smart then me I would not know how to make a video But now you did look at it then cultic your sift and try again .😚🤢
I interpreted this to mean “Edit out your dog because it makes you look like you aren’t a pro at TH-cam.”
It’s a little thing called levity.
