Had a scary experience last night with this stove design - combustion moved up into the pellet hopper after about 5 hours ( hopper 1/3 full, damper fully open, hopper lid closed ) and quickly filled the entire tent with smoke. Most of the smoke leaked out in the hopper-to-stove air gap ( which can’t be sealed ).
Not an inherently safe design.
Oh wow. I’m not sure if I mentioned it in this video or the second video I posted with this stove but I too had smoke fill the hopper. I’ve sealed the hopper, even the hopper to stove gap if I think I know what you are referring to, now I leave the top very slightly cracked and haven’t had that issue since. Not saying I fixed the problem cause I’m still testing it myself but I maybe on the right track. Were you sleeping? Also, 5 hours on 2/3 of a hopper? Thanks for watching
@@AdventureswithSpackmann I’ve been thinking through the issue this morning and here’s where I landed: the chimney is short and the outside air was completely still with high humidity (drizzle). I’m guessing the pressure differential between the chimney outlet and the combustion chamber damper just wasn’t enough to keep the flames moving sideways; without that flow, the heat naturally moved up into the throat of the hopper and started smoking the remaining pellets.
If there are any aerospace engineers on here, please let me know if this theory holds any water.
@@matthewpulliam7473 I’ve noticed it needs to be at full blast for it to work properly. I’ve removed the damper and everything else so far that I’ve added except sealing the hopper. Did you shorten the pipe? Also see my question about your burn time?
@@AdventureswithSpackmann I believe the damper was fully open. The pellets are just the Menards ordinary wood pellets, and I was about 5 hours into the burn with maybe 1/3 of the pellets remaining. My estimate could be off - it was 4 in the morning and I was more focused on just putting out the fire.
As for the chimney, it’s a 3-section pipe that runs to a bit below 5ft above the ground. My other stoves use chimneys 7-9’ tall.
@@matthewpulliam7473 my stove came with 6 pipes. 4 long and 2 shorter ones. With an overall height of 7feet I think. More pipes would definitely help.
The gap between the glass and the stove is for secondary air. Your primary air which controls the rate of combustion, goes in through your damper, your secondary air, is the air that goes in around the glass. And this controls the efficiency of your fire. And in most of these stoves it's already adjusted so you don't have to do anything.
That’s what I was thinking but wasn’t sure. How do you know? Thanks for watching
@@AdventureswithSpackmannI have an old Russo stove coal stove in my home, and it has the same design feature The glass that surrounds the front of the door has a space behind it just large enough that you can have air go in for secondary air and to do what is called air washing the glass to make sure you don't have a lot of smoke gather up on it. Some stoves have a secondary air damper on the rear side of the stove. But most of the modern stoves especially the titanium ones don't have this design feature. They just use the space around the glass.
I grew up in Northern Michigan. Over the last couple decades, these pellet style stoves have become increasingly popular. People tell me they are cleaner and easier to use and that the heat is more consistent. I know that the number of sawmills and paper companies in our area make the pellets easy to come by up there. This is a cool little version of those bigger units.
Consistent heat is the best part in my opinion. It’s like set it and forget it. Thanks for watching
I have the nature hike one and it does not have any gaps around the glass. Also the hopper has bends in it and are it bolts together. So it's very solid when it's assembled with no gaps. And yes the burn chamber is adjustable in height. Also, the oven does not get tight when you use it. Very high quality piece of product.
Ohhh that’s great to know. So they aren’t equals and price may being telling. Thanks for sharing your experience with the NatureHike one! Thanks for watching
My major concern is flames moving up into the pellet chamber. Playing with fire best to have oven silicon gloves and plenty of alo vera burn gel . Take care
I have that concern as well. I think that’s why I want to weld the hopper. Thanks for watching
The burn on that stove is amazing. It looks like it would be a great emergency heating option (especially for people that may not have access to firewood).
Not sure how much I would trust it in a house for emergencies. Needs more testing first. Thanks for watching
I would think fire wood will be easier to come by than pellets,
@@TonyRIKKIDepends on where you live. My local Home Depot has lots of bags of pellets, but it's really hard to find anyone selling cut/split/dry firewood.
The plus, it has an oven🎉
@DesmondJohnson-og4oy heck yeah! Thanks for watching
This would be good for a small camp ground, if it burns you it might be good for outdoor use instead of enclosed. Would be cool to test this in an open survival concept like a tarp shelter or home made survival shelter or a apocalypse type video lol.
Hmmm I like it. Maybe in the future. Thanks for watching
First time ive seen one being used. I hope it works for you in your floating tent. That would be cool. Although it looks like you need a little better control on the heat. If nothing else it'd help lessen the burn count. Looking forward to see what you're able to do with this stove. God bless and stay safe.
Lessen the burn count??? That’s crazy talk lol. God bless you as well and thanks for watching
I'm interested in the oven aspect of the stove. It looks rather clumsy. The burn time is what everyone is probably focused on. Non the less, excellent video as always.
Thank you! And thanks for watching
Stove works really nice and like the multi function
Yeah it’s pretty sweet. Has some things I need to take care of but for the price it’s a great start. Thanks for watching
it's a very interesting design, but..... the Pellet Feeder should be offset at an angle and with a longer feed pipe. That should prevent the flame from reaching the feeder. I like it, but will look at re-designing the feeder for extra safety.
I have one rocket stove with a pellet attachment that has a longer feed port and it’s at an angle. I have been seeing more and more designed like this with the hopper directly above it. Thanks for watching
You rock brother. I got one and it was a AWESOME camp trip. Nice to not have to carry a 37LB propane bomb! LOL! Used in the PreSelf hot tent. Used co2 and fire alarm and slept most of the night. Burn time is definitely shorter maybe 4 hours for me. I close both dampers and I have minimal smoke when pellets empty & it glows…less! 🤣
Keep on vibing!
So you too got smoke when the pellets were running low, but minimal huh? I’m glad you like it. It’s one of my favorite stoves at the moment. Pellets are cheaper than propane and bags of wood too lol. Have you sealed the hopper?
@@AdventureswithSpackmann I ran a few burns before sleeping next to it just to be safe. When I had the bottom damper open it seemed to want to burn a bit higher up the hopper AND smoked enough I wanted to open a door. However with both closed it smoked but only enough to see it wisping from the cracks (no fire alarm though) and I didn’t smell the smoke at all. I would assume with the dampers closed the air draws in the hopper more and solves the smoking issue mostly. I didn’t seal mine up but only since I have to fold it all back up (car camper here).
Thanks for the heads up on how to use this great stove. I found its replica it’s called the Green Stove Hori 3.
@@shawnbeck6646 very nice! Yeah I haven’t had either smoke or co go off with this stove. I really like it. I still think the hopper is wonky but maybe it works the way it should lol idk.
@@AdventureswithSpackmann oh bro it’s completely wonky, I ate snow over the flue guy line at 2 am and was glad there wasn’t any pellets in there!! Definitely would seal it if I had a place to keep it… and a second one for the road! The green stove Hori 3 seems to have a bit better hopper but it much more money so maybe it was a cost cut.
You should look at the design of another pellet stove like the one riley makes. They really stress that the hopper be air tight to prevent back burning. I have a similarly designed stove and I just couldn’t get it to work reliably without the constant fear of the hopper starting on fire.
I actually have sealed this hopper up. However I’m still uncertain on the safety aspect of this particular stove. I have 3 pellet stoves, all different designs. I have one that I love and feel comfortable with it not setting fire lol. Well I have two that I feel comfortable with but one of those two I love. What is your similar designed one? Is the Riley one, the one that attaches to a cylinder stove? Thanks for watching.
I do not have a pellet stove but I've always been interested in owning one. I realize this is for camping and so what I'm about to say will probably be irrelevant. My concern with pellet stoves is the potential volatility of the pellet market. In my ignorance, I assume that pellets are mostly the result of a waste product being put to good use. However, I am one of those weirdo types who believes we are getting close to a SHTF era because of a great depression collapse. Is it possible in this scenario where the timber/lumber/wood products industry craters too as a part of a financial collapse? And if that does happen, then there won't be an overabundance of wood waste feedstock available to make pellets affordable. Such that, in a deflationary environment, you get a hyper-inflation response in pricing for pellets.
I am a SHFTer as well. I had to pellet stoves in my house, one downstairs and one upstairs. They are both gone now and replaced them with one wood stove downstairs. Cause it’s heat and cooking if the power is out. I feel it does a better job heating too. I know there are kits you can buy to make your own pellets but again that take wood waste. So ya I’d agree, not the best for a SHTF scenario. Thanks for watching
Thank you I've been waiting on someone to review this
You’re welcome. It definitely has some issues but I think they can be solved easily. Thanks for watching
Looks pretty cool. I like the upgrades you've done to the tent, though maybe something to prevent the heat from melting the wall too if it gets that hot it's burning you without touching it
Lol I’m thinking the same thing but only the glass is that hot and it’s on one side. Thanks for watching
@@AdventureswithSpackmann ah, yea the glass would retain more heat that the steel
@chriscjjones8182 right
I love the flame pattern on this one.
Me too! It’s sweet looking. Thanks for watching
That thing is crazy. Makes me wish I had a larger car.
Happy Wednesday! Just got back from my own camping trip. I didn’t end up bringing my stove. The car was so full we were driving up to the mountains looking like the Beverly Hillbillies already. Next time for sure.
Lmao yup sounds about right, that’s why I have a roof top carrier and a tow hitch carrier now. Happy Wednesday and Happy thanksgiving bro! Hope you enjoyed your trip! I’m heading out Friday!!!!!! Thanks for watching
Excellent review as always brother 👍 That's one sweet looking stove for sure! And the price is right too... can't beat it. Did you set a record burn count on this one by the way? 😉 haha.
Have a very Happy Thanksgiving man!
lol not a record….. my first burn count was on a diy solo stove. If I remember right, it was in the high teens lol. Happy thanksgiving to you too bro! Thank you.
@@AdventureswithSpackmann The high teens... youch! 😲lol. Those DIY stoves will getcha every time (speaking from experience, lol). You're more than welcome by the way bro! 👍
Damn broski a floating hot tent?! im going to be sitting on the edge of my seat to make sure ya dont sink!!! And hopper hot stoves sound so awesome! I keep picturing that tent on the water all lit up and how flippin epic is going to look!
I’m excited for it bro! Can’t wait. Thanks for watching
Spack-tacular! Cool stove for sure. I'm not sure how convenient burning 40 lb bags of pellets in the woods is going to be for most folks tho. My stove, saw and hatchet combo is MUCH lighter than just one bag of pellets and I get to help thin the future forest fire fuel. But... I can also see how sticks with possible sharp ends might not be ideal on an inflatable hot tent 😉. Does the new hot tent get a trolling motor or just oars?
The stove itself isn’t light either so it’s more for short distance. The listing does say it can be used with wood, pellets, straw and other organic material. So I guess you can use it with wood as a rocket stove too. In the floating hot tent I’ll stick to pellets lol.
Lol I haven’t figured out the forward motion of the tent just yet. Time will tell. Thanks for watching
@@AdventureswithSpackmann I'd love to see another video of the stove burning alternate fuels other than the pellets. Maybe short?
@@Chaphillionaire I’ll see what I can do!
Cool stove but i gotta stay with a traditional one just because you can find firewood just about everywhere but that one wont take anything but pellets.. but hey
It is still really cool and you dont have to chop up wood on the plus for it
The listing says you can use wood, pellets, straw and other organic material. I haven’t used wood yet but plan to try it out in the future. Thanks for watching
thanks for the video. I have my woodstove for hot tenting, but this looks like an interesting option.
Right! Interesting indeed. Thanks for watching
I want one. I'm gonna try it in my wall tent this winter
I have a feeling I’ll be trying it in the wall tent too! Thanks for watching
I'm not real familiar with pellet burning stoves, what do you do if you run out of pellets to burn in a survival situation? You can get fire wood pretty much anywhere, I never seen pellets out in the wild anywhere.
You’ve never seen the Russian hemlock pellet trees? Look em up. Thanks for watching
Wish they sold them in Canada !! Thanks for the video.
NatureHike sells them on AliExpress and Amazon, I have Amazon linked below if that doesn’t work, AliExpress should ship there right? Thanks for watching
Lmao😂 New drinking game. Take a shot every time Spackman burns himself. Seriously though great video as always. Keep em coming
Mike
lol we getting drunk! Thanks for watching
Cheap? Yes. Dangerous? Apparently. Cool? Hell yea brother. Great looking stove when its running.
Lol you know it bro! Thanks for watching
I swear you'll have that dang tent made into an apartment before you're done! Next video will be mounting a flat screen on the wall and a Dish Tailgater so you have cable tv 😂 then move in the 12v refrigerator, setup the cot, and string some lights. You'll be all set 🤣
Hmmm didn’t think about a TV! Mini projector would be better. I think I’d be pushing the weight limit of it lol. Thanks for watching
@@AdventureswithSpackmann yeah, a projector would work! I use a little Pico projector in my rooftop tent late at night or when raining and sound run thru a Bluetooth speaker. Works pretty good 😂
@@chado_outdoors how big is it?
@@AdventureswithSpackmann 😘 wouldn't you like to know?! Haha no I have 2 the size of my phone but thicker and they fit in my pocket. One is made specifically for my Moto phone and just snaps onto the back and instantly turns my phone into a projector. The other is a Miroir M300a that I picked up for $40 at a pawn shop
Lol did you say heat from the bottom 😂of the stove ,hopefully that was a joke like a hot tent pellet stove lol ,cant imagine dragging pellets 100 miles into the backcountry 😂
What do you mean hope I’m joking about heat from the bottom? Also some stoves aren’t meant for the back country. Thanks for watching
Nice video. Great stove. Can you include Celsius for us Canadians? As for the sunglasses 420 perhaps. No need 4 an answer.👍🇨🇦
I can start including C for the rest of the world. Sunglasses are so I always look like I’m looking at the camera. You can’t tell where my eyes are but my glasses are pointed at the camera. Thanks for watching
Wow! You sound like you're from WNY!
WNY???? No way. Upstate all the way baby! lol. Thanks for watching
I have this stove too and I think it's well built except for the hopper part which is a bit flimsy and I don't know about you but putting the stove pipe on base feels shaky and I noticed the screws don't let pipe go all the way down and the pipes are not the usual 2.36 size which makes it it hard to add on a damper or another different spark arrestor.
I haven't light it up yet but plan too soon here.
If you ran into the same concerns I did what did you do to remedy it?
I did notice that. I forgot to mention it. The pipe is 2.7 size. I first burned it outside and the pipe holds itself but it comes with a guy out adapter to guy the pipe out. My dweller stove pipe fit so the damper from that fits well. Thanks for watching
Now if Pomoly will make a pellet stove already…
I’ve always wondered why manufacturers hadn’t inundated the market yet. Pellets just make so much sense.
I like the idea of pellets too. More often then not, I am bringing my own firewood with me. Pellets are cheap and it’s a set it and forgot it sort of stove lol. Thanks for watching
@@AdventureswithSpackmann I always have to catch your new videos. You cover too many cool stoves, I can’t miss seeing them all before I decide!
@@Isaacmantx heck yeah! Thanks
Because most people don't want to carry an extra 500#s of pellets along with everything else for a weekend of camping.
@@cschruthable but some do. Thanks for watching
Floating hot tent in the river rapids 😂
Lol too cold for that. Thanks for watching
I'm a coffee nut as well. Love the stove, but getting burned so many times would not be fun LOL... I love the tent that was in your video I watched last - the one where you review the headlamp, what tent was that?, I want to see a video on that one, as I am looking for a tent to complete my setup - thanks. 👍 PS. I am going to guess you burned yourself at least once more after the video, so I will go ahead and say - burn count 7
Close on the burn count! I believe the tent was the Acacia Space XL. I have a video on it. Thanks for watching
@@AdventureswithSpackmann Thanks, I found it after I commented. I was up all night binge watching LOL.
@@Outside-In. awesome thank you so much!
Awesome review...what is the burn time when hopper is full? I'm hoping 8hrs?
I’m getting anywhere from 2 1/2 to 5 1/2 currently. More testing. Thanks for watching
Ik what stove im buying for my new 12x12 now
Oh boy! What 12x12 did you get???? Thanks for watching bro
@@AdventureswithSpackmann i got a cabelas alaknak 12x12 for a real good price from a local guy
That’s a pretty cool stove . I like the oven feature. You may want to invest in a laser pointer 😁 Have a great day
Oh laser pointer is a good idea. Thanks for watching
@@AdventureswithSpackmann the burn count is entertaining though 😁
I wish you the best of luck.
With what? Thanks for watching
Life, u kept touching a hot stove w fire inside. Im just sayin
@barnyard5176 lol I never touched it, just got too close it bit me.
I like your sense of humor, this video was definitely worth a watch.👍
I wasn't interested in a pellet stove Spackman, not until I watched your sizzling review! Just kidding. Coincidentally, I was actually looking at the stove on Amazon last night. What caught my eye at first was the oven, the heavy top plate and what, at first, I did not realize was a pellet hopper. I thought: "What an odd-shape for a water tank! (I learned to look at pictures before I knew how to read.) Now, I'll have to check on pellet fuel prices, dang it!
Water tank would be cool lol. Maybe behind the hopper. Thanks for watching
No longer available on Amazon
Yeah probably sold out. Thanks for watching
Pretty sure getting out would be my safety priority! Cool stove though-
Escape route is in the safety plan! Thanks for watching
Pretty cool!
Right! Thanks for watching
Cool stove!
Thanks man!
Yessir! Let’s go!! 🤘🏼🤙🏼
Yeah buddy! Thanks for watching bro!
How long can you get this to burn? Is it safe after your mods? Thanks
Verdict is still pending on being safe. I’m testing others now and seeing how to burn it to be safe. Thanks for watching
@@AdventureswithSpackmann I’d love to see the Giraffe Stove with the pellet hopper!
Cool stuff
Thanks bro!
No longer available :(
Sorry. Probably sold out. I did see NatureHike’s on sale on AliExpress for almost the same price. Thanks for watching
What was the full burn time with a full hopper?
Varied from about 2 1/2 hours to 5 1/2 hours depending on modifications. Thanks for watching
Get some Kevlar gloves.
Oh incase the stove starts shooting at me! Good call.
Is Kevlar better than leather? Thanks for watching
This " wood " would be perfect if I could also burn wood in it.
You can! The hopper comes off to leave a shoot for wood loading. The last video you watched of giraffe stove now has a pellet attachment. It works great. Way better than this one. That review video is labeled “12 hour burn” or something like that. Thanks for watching
Does that use electricity? What do you think about going pellet stove vs regular wood stove for a hot tent? i like the idea of a pellet stove but not if it only lasts 3 hours between refills.
It does not use electricity. I’m still testing it and can’t really say whether it’s better or not. The concept is better in my opinion. I love how it’s constant, regular heat. Not sure if I would trust it burning while I’m sleeping yet. But I usually let my stoves go out anyways. I have a short follow up about in my latest video and a couple mods I’ve made already. Thanks for watching
That is pretty cool!
Right! Thanks for watching bro
@@AdventureswithSpackmann you are very welcome
10:18 love that
Glad you enjoyed. Thanks for watching
The burn count on this one is already too high for my ADHD ass lol.
Lol my ADD was showing hard in this one. Thanks for watching
Man oh man was lmao!!!! Seems a little dangerous with out gloves in my friend!!!!!
I have plenty of gloves lol. Remembering to use them is my issue. Thanks for watching
@@AdventureswithSpackmann no problem was great to watch.
@oneangrycanadian6205 so glad you enjoyed! I added a little “how to light your hot tent stove” segment to my latest video. It was pretty funny if you are interested.
Did you get burned??
I don’t think so. Thanks for watching
Is that oven big enough to make a personal pizza?
I would say yes. I’ll be making pizza in the floating hot tent. That’s my plan as of now. Thanks for watching
If you run out of pellets can you use it as a regular wood stove?
And how much are the pellets?
PS: Do you have Paramedics standing by when you make your video's? LOL
Yes, listing says you can use wood, straw, pellets or other organic material. Pellets vary from about $6-8 per 40pound bag. Thanks for watching
❤
Thanks for watching!
Too damn high tech n heavy for a good night Sasquatch hunt.
Foldable portable stoves thx.
Hear ya. Thanks for watching
It looks like it would burn the tent down.
Na we good. Thanks for watching
Dude the burn count is getting high. You need to start carrying welding gloves when using stoves. 😅😂🤣
I sure do lol. Thanks for watching
No longer being sold. They gave no further information.
May have sold out, not sure. Thanks for watching
Ohhh NatureHike has theirs on sale for like 350 I think on AliExpress. I think it’s a heck of deal since it’s so much on Amazon
Wow. He was talking and burped and kept on talking. Didn't even edit it out or do a retake
Welcome to the channel. Thanks for watching
From my studies you are a slow learner from getting burned
🤷♂️ never claimed to be a smart man. Thanks for watching.
wtf man. I am here to get some information about the stove you are very well explaining (and thanks for that) but then you burp like an animal intentionally again and again. such a disrespect. anyways, watched the video till the end. it was still very helpful. thanks.
Sorry you didn’t like the humor. Thanks for watching
Any research on pellet stoves will show you this Chinese knock off is missing a lot of the safety features on the feeder
Go on….. thanks for watching
Wow! I’d give that a big thumbs down. Obviously it’s a magnet for those prone to burning themselves. Additionally I can’t imagine using it around kids…of any age. How much fun is camping if you have to constantly say, “Stay away from the stove”.
I hear ya! But I have to saw that for any stove lol. None of them are cold. Thanks for watching!
Do you understand how fire works?
@dhart5752 I think we all do lol. Thanks for watching
Dam you must have some stupid children if you need to tell them not to touch a hot stove …
if you can weld, throw this 300.00 junk in the trash and make a real stove. ;-) That 'stove' is dangerous, you're better to sleep cold and cook outside. You can't even touch the handles? Brah, if you are depending on this thing, you are in for some very rude, and blunt reality...good luck
I never depend on a stove for anything. Especially heat. Thanks for watching
PLEASE STOP BURPING
Sorry. Thanks for watching
First Love the video reviews.
But Talking about carbon monoxide monitoring (or any kind of gases) you should maybe get a better grip on the numbers, industry standards of 8 hr limits, immediate dangerous to life, and LEL.
I’ve researched the numbers before. I think I have a good enough grip on them. Thanks for watching.
