  • Way too heavy. Youtube Ikea Stove. It has sufficient ventilation to keep a fire going. This really is an overweight gadget. With my ikea wood burning stove I can boil two cups in under five minutes.

    I predict a 1 cup result at around the same as this... plus it only cost 7 bucks.

  • Kevin, are those 'barrel packs' a custom make or can you purchase them from an outfitter?

  • It looks cool, but I don't like the battery idea. These stoves will never compare to a Kelly Kettle though

  • The biolite is very good , but it is a very big unit when space and weight is an issue.

    And btw... he did not properly assembled the vital stove . lol

  • the biolites camping stove is cooler it does not use batteries. it gets the electricity needed to run the electric fan from the heat of the fire.

  • This is one of the stoves on my buy list. I wonder how it will perform with a few pieces of the regular BBQ charcoal added, once the fire is going. The forge design could provide a serious, but smokeless heat for cooking for an extended time, without having to throw in a piece now and then.

  • There are tons of these kind of stoves out there (especially in youtube world) but I am not convinced (yet). They seem bulky, I don't like the fact you have to rely on batteries, and that kind of fire charrs your pots, making them dirty to pack. And fine you can boil water nice and quick, what about general cooking? And how serviceable is it (with wires, circuits, a rotary fan and a battery)? Could the number of batteries needed (including back up) out weigh any fuel savings?

  • @codcoda no i think they were almonds

  • did he just eat shit?

  • @gasdorf becuase its constantly blowing on the fire to make it hotter and burn better
