Our mini folding stove is sized for our smaller tents like the MiniPeak XL and Hexpeak.  

Constructed of 1mm 304 stainless and titanium, our new folding stove folds to a lightweight compact package.  The 12" x 7.5" x 6" firebox fits into our smaller hot tents & tipis  perfectly.  The included one piece 6' stainless chimney rolls up into a compact package and includes a spark arrestor. 

Our larger tents (Hercules, Megahorns ) will require the 8' chimney option.  

Could you backpack with this stove?  It's 3# heavier than our titanium stove, and is slightly larger when packed.  Yes...if you already have a lightweight set up and can spare the weight.  This is a better base camp stove instead of a backpacking stove.

Always provide adequate ventilation when using this stove.  It is not intended for use in an airtight building or house.

To roll the stove pipe for the first time - wear gloves (this stuff is sharp), follow the directions in this video.  Alternately use two people and a length of 1-1/4" diameter PVC pipe.  Carefully roll the stove pipe around the pipe, and use the included rings to hold the pipe in shape.  Remove the PVC pipe, add the spark arrestor, attach to the stove and you're ready to burn.

The stove must be burned in before use to remove any residue or oil from the manufacturing process.  We suggest two initial burns.  Light the stove, stoke the fire box and let it burn with the dampers wide open.  After the stove cools, remove the stove pipe and swap ends so the damper end is now the top end (with spark arrester) and the top (which had the spark arrestor) is now the damper end.  Now do a second burn.  This will allow the stove pipe to burn in from top to bottom which makes it significantly easier to roll.

You may have to adjust the stove hardware after burning.  

Safety First!
The stove will get red hot - keep all flammable material away from the sides and stove pipe.  Remove all flammable liquids (camp stove fuel, etc) from the tent. 

Always use a stove jack - do not pass the stove pipe directly through the tent material. 

Always provide a source of fresh air.  This could be as simple as making sure the door of the tent is slightly open.  On models with a snow skirt, make sure snow is not completely sealing off the perimeter of the tent.

Do not use charcoal!  Charcoal will generate huge amounts of carbon monoxide.

Do not leave the stove unattended.

Do not allow youth to operate the stove or play near the stove.

Do not operate without the spark arrestor.  Always follow any local burn restrictions.
Use a carbon monoxide detector mounted at or above head height.

Be aware of food odors in your tent if you use the stove to cook in your tent.  Here in Central Virginia, black bears hibernate intermittently and are active year round.   We would not cook in a tent because of the potential for attracting an animal.  In other parts of the country and during certain times of the year, this may not be a problem.
