@rico522 These stoves cost $8 for third world customers. Get your facts straight.

So you're saying better quality ones can be made than these Stovetec chinese ones with better brick and metal. You may be right, but retail $40 isn't bad if you figure the cost of living in the contingent United States with no access to a shop to build your own.

@rico522 look at stovetec's own website and do the math comparing their price and the price you are accusing before you post your cynicism. Is that specific enough or do you need someone to email you the full url and link? I don't know what kind of benefits and standard of living the Chinese workers are experiencing at that plant, but it's a damn life saving product for a lot of people and I think that kind of altruism is good karma.

These stoves are awesome. They are good for picnics and camping trips in the worst cold weather of the Pacific Northwest for cooking, heating, boiling water for sanitation and survival. These stoves make propane and other petroleum stoves worthless and tending a traditional campfire a total waste of time.

@rico522 You'r such a fucking liar.

[Probesoul]

You don't want to build a factory in one of those poor countries and teach them to make stoves and put many to work... Because that wouldn't keep them poor... all manufacturing must be in China while the rest of the world only consumes like a bunch of good serfs

I dont know what you guys are talking about, but on their website they sell them for around 40$ or less. thats 1/3 of the price you are talking about.
