Heat

New design non-roll up mini stove

Nothing can compare to the heat you can get from a nice wood burning fireplace.  Why not bring this heat into the outdoors with you!  My very first wood burning stove and tent were both homemade/modified designs.  The tent I used was a GoLite Shangri-La 3 with a stove jack sewn into the top peak.  The stove I used was a titanium roll up stove similar in design to the stoves sold by Ti-Goat.  I bought the titanium sheet and used titanium end plates to complete the stove.  The weight breakdown was as follows:


GoLite 3 with pole (incl. stuff sack) - 1208g
Roll Up Stove - 900g


Original roll-up titanium stove
While 2.1Kg isnt exactly light its not half bad for a winter shelter...for a first try anyways.  Since my first efforts with wood heated shelters I have been able to knock nearly a kilogram off that weight, but lets not get ahead of ourselves.
