I've been using this stove for a year now. I have a Mors 1.1l pot that I use. I've never had a failure with this stove. In rain, snow, its worked like a charm. I live in New England, and finding wood is never an issue. Even if its been raining for days, dry wood can be found (coniferous trees lower limbs die off as the tree grows, and they are often still attached to the tree). I carry a couple of the Coughlans compressed fuel bars as starters, as they are easy to light, even in damp conditions. This is the best stove I have owned yet (as far as natural fuel stoves go), and has become my go to stove for every outing.
A proper demonstration is a pleasure to watch. Great Job especially since most demonstrations do not show the wood being lit from the top. I also have the Solo Stove and Pot. Plus I use a Triangia as a auxiliary heat source for when I am lazy and want a hot drink or if the woods are wet and locating dry wood ( which I forgot to get earlier ) is not available. Usually it is just pure laziness on my part for when the Triangia is used.
I got one of these as a Christmas gift. I've only just tested it the other and am impressed with it. It's a great addition to my gear. Nice review my fellow Ohioan.
I have one here in Stockholm, Sweden. I have seen that it works with twigs that are wet, as long as you hold them above the flame for a few seconds. That's all it takes for it to dry out. I really can't complain. It faces every challenge I throw at it and delivers.
I have this exact set-up, but I've never used it; just sits in my bug-out bag for emergencies. The reason I know it will work when I need it is by watching videos like yours. Thanks for the great review.
No you wouldn't have an issue because the stove has a bottom part that doesn't touch the ground and you would need to locate drier material (not from the ground) if it was wet. This can be done easily.
No cross support for the pot to sit on? This makes it useless to use anything smaller than the solo pot. Sorry - that is a huge design flaw. I'm going with an emberlit.
304 is fine as it isn't left in a humid, damp and wet marine environment. I have heaps of 304 camping stuff and it hasn't rusted yet. Lots of bits on my camper trailer (which lives outside) are also 304 and there are no rust issues. 304 is half the price of 316, so I guess it helps a bit with affordability. :)

Nice to see someone demonstrate the proper use of this stove. When used right, it's extremely efficient and convenient.

Mine is still going strong and I've used my solo stove since 2012. Great stove!

i know this video is old but i just found you. i really enjoyed your style and thorough analysis. well done, i'm now a subscriber.
+scott neidigk Thanks so much Scott! I appreciate the feedback. Stay tuned for some new reviews I have coming up!
great review! clear, concise and thorough

You're welcome and they make a great product! I own a few since this video was created.
Thanks for your excellent review - I was considering getting one and now I'm convinced 🙏🏻
Glad to hear it! I own them all!!
Such a straightforward review. Pleasure to watch.
eye concurrrrrrr
Excellent review. Thank you.
I personally think that's all over stove is outstanding. And with the pot it makes a very good camping gear as well as hiking. Worth the money
Agreed
It's surprising how well this worked, even with damp wood. I've tried similarly and just could not get the tinder to light.
Great video! Now get a Trangia burner and it will nest perfectly in the middle.
I'm glad I found this. Curbside pick-up tomorrow!
I own all their models. You won’t be disappointed
Well done Sir, it’s on my list now, merci from Montreal!
Thank you I own them in all sizes they offer!
great informational video
very good review, i am a huge fan of the solo stove and the solo pot, i am glad to see someone else loves it as much.
Thanks everyone! I will be reviewing the larger pot option on here soon!
What other pots on the market fit it well? Thanks
helpful explanation thaks

question: Does this stove nest in a Snow Peak Trek 900 pot? Best guess?
Yes, I had one that nested perfectly in my old aluminum SP Trek 900.
Excellent! Thanks.

Why isn't it made out of 316 stainless? 304 isn't very rust resistant at all
304 is fine as it isn't left in a humid, damp and wet marine environment. I have heaps of 304 camping stuff and it hasn't rusted yet. Lots of bits on my camper trailer (which lives outside) are also 304 and there are no rust issues. 304 is half the price of 316, so I guess it helps a bit with affordability. :)
You should revise your prices. The stove on sale is now$99 at Amazon marked down from $129
gerald ross good advice and glad to see the price came down over time.
would you be fucked if the ground and thus wood was wet?
The Stove 900 rusts! Don't recommend!
The Pot 900 rusts! Don't recommend!
