Cool stove! Might wanna do some roof insulation aswell, otherwise you'll need a lot of wood.

Thanks for the instructional vid.

I have one of these that came with a tent I bought second hand.

It came with tripod and fuel cans but no instructions.

Very nice vid, especially since you took the time to seek out and edit the Army training file. Most excellent and appreciated!

I just got mine in. Thinking of buying a second. I stumbled onto these looking for a yukon also after watching yankee preppers vid. I'm eager to try it out. I'm still looking for a yukon. I have been given a m-41 potbelly stove. needs some work though

[k1111117]

how many BTUs does it put out. I read somewhere that it was 15,000-20,000 if that is true the Yukon 1950 gives out 3-4 times more. Thanks for your informative vids and your THOROUGH response this past week about AM & FM radios!!!!!

You are a real resource!!!

[GUERRILLAGEEK]

@k1111117 Glad to be of service. The documentation says 20,000 btu's. the yukon hands down give off more heat with solid fuels, then again, it could burn more wood at a time.I have both the Yukon and SHA, when I get some more parts and time, I'm going to face these two heater against each other in a video.

Wonder what the weight is without the liquid fuel device. The Yukon is said to be about 38# with, and less than 28# without. Because of the apparent lighter weight and 24" fire box, I might go for the Yukon. Any one own both and have an opinion?

[InTheSticks0001]

@InTheSticks0001 Already have the M1941, a potbelly, and believe it would last much longer than either the M1950 or this one featured. for durability it would be the M1941 (18x18x18, 55# with all tools and pipe does not fit inside of stove), for portability, the M1950 about 28#?

[GUERRILLAGEEK]

@InTheSticks0001 I have both and fired them up with scrap wood. the yukon I would say is the better all round stove in this class. you could burn gas, longer pieces of wood and it boils water quickly. The SHA does not boil the same amount of water and does gas is not recommended. I like the SHA for space heating and conserving fuels in my workspace and use the Yukon for burning oils.

[InTheSticks0001]

@GUERRILLAGEEK Thank you. Yukon is it is then. Had stoves on my mind last night and built one from parts already had. The stove weight is 5.4# and with 4 sections 4" pipe it would be less than 15#, maybe 10#. It all folds together and should be packable. Stove is made of 24ga and 26ga pipe and adapters with extra layer in the hot part of the box. Doubled up coffee can lid shuts the box down tight enough to kill a fire. Measures 6" x 20", draws very well. Will be good for hunting blind.

oh yeah, does it really weigh 50lbs. It just doesnt look that heavy

[GUERRILLAGEEK]

@rimfirematt around 40 to 50 pounds, haven't put on a scale or anything. it feels that heavy with all the accessories and parts which fits inside the stove like the yukon. The diameter of the pipe is tapered from 5 1/2 inches at the stove to about 4. inches on the top.

[rimfirematt]

what is the diameter of the stove pipe? Thanks in advance

[bradmcclain]

[GUERRILLAGEEK]
