Mark, thank you for reading and responding to your viewers. It takes time and commitment and shows that this channel isn't all about you. Knowledge is best when freely shared. Your words of caution are perhaps not as appreciated as the facts, figures, and techniques. They are at least as important as the others. God bless you and your family! 🙏✌👍

Looks like a very interesting little stove. The top plate could use a bit of modification. I’m surprised they didn’t send a grill that fits in the top to give another purpose to the stove when plate is removed. I’m concerned about the smoke leaking through the top plate. It it had some lengthwise ribs molded into the bottom of it that would have kept it from warping. I would love to see more use with a Dutch oven as you cook a pot of chili as you enjoy your stove. The side wings look useful as warming trays for your coffee as you cook. Your lack of suet is also because of the totally dry heart wood maple. I would like to see some logs put into it for a long burn for a day. Yes more videos of actual using this stove for an afternoon. Another great video Mark. I also appreciate your replies to comments. Sometimes I learn as much from the comments as I do with the video.

This one seems to be of much better build quality. I like how the side racks lay fully horizontal with the cook surface, and have load bearing arms. Thanks for sharing.

Thank You... Im so glad the top piece did not warp... kinda like the damper being the ash drawer. Thanks, this maybe the one⛺🔥😊

Make us a wee cup of tea on it. Thanks Mark, Good luck.

Thank you, this video is helping me in the search of my stove. These are the types of videos that help me.

Well thanks a lot Mark. Yet another piece of equipment I can’t live without, partially because of another one of your exceptional reviews and thinking“it would be handy for something sometime “ Looks like your snow shovel is having a quiet winter SO FAR. Stay well.

Hello Mark and thank you for the video. Looks like a well built stove and would be great for car camping with a wall tent or pulling on a sled behind a snow machine. Would also like to see a smaller one built of titanium that you could pull behind a sled while snowshoeing kind of like from the Calvin Rutstrum era.

I like this stove, I enjoy playing with different types also. Because this particular stove has a large removable top I think I would try building the initial fire through the top so that I could maximize the amount of wood and how it’s organized so that when it is lit you could close everything except the draft pan, leaving it open about an inch and a half for about 10 minutes then close it completely or almost. I would only then open the door to reload the wood. This should achieve the maximum heat and burn rate of the fire. Cheers 🍻

I started using cast iron when I was a kid in Japan. My American father had two cast iron pans from his mother (my grandmother) who still lived state side. After I cook with them (same skillets) I run hot water from the faucet and while the cast iron is still warm I run the hot water in it and it is squeaky clean. Then wipe it out, use a paper towel with flax seed oil on it and wipe the inside of the skillet while the oven is on medium low heat. Put away until next time. My 3rd generation skillets are 70 plus years old and will puttering to shame… cast iron is also healthier than teflon

You might get a couple of 1/2-in steel tubes and run them from some holes you would form in the corner of the burner grill up to the back and right to the chimney where it goes out that may create a secondary burn which might keep the chimneys clean

With fore thought I'm feeling the only reason for the aluminium top plate is for lighter weight and initial starting then replacing and feeding threw the door. I very much like the foldability of the legs, ashpan and level side shelves. The snap placement of the bottom smokepipe is solid as well as the rest of the pieces going up. Really like it so far!

Seems like a better desined stove than the last one. I like it, but if you are looking to have a good night's rest, you would want something bigger. Bigger stove will let you load more fuel and dampen it down for a longer burn. With this stove you would need to burn in the chimney sections in alternating sequence for a safe use. I like wood burning stove than anything else but my experience showed me that the people who looked best rested in the camp ground are the ones with kerosene heaters. Haha. Thanks a ton, Mark.

That is a slick little stove! It reminds me of the Sims Stoves we used to use when horse packing in the Rockies in our base camp. Add a reflector baker and you have a complete kit. Even better when you have a 4 legged friend to carry it for you 😄. Looks like a very well made and well thought-out stove. Looking forward to your long term review!

thanks Mark

As ar as preps go, this is right up there as a must have, especially if you live in a winter zone. A lot of people in Europe would be very grateful for one right about now... I've heard of using alcohol burners in them instead of wood, for emergency use in an apartment etc. perhaps you could try and see how that would work out too, and wouldit be hot enoughfor cooking.? Thanksforthereview

Nice 👍 , too heavy for me though. It occurred to me that this stove, and the last one, would be good ones to convert to pellet stoves. You wouldn't need to modify the stove itself just diy a hopper and a burn basket/tray so the pellets didn't go flying everywhere.

all the heat went up & out the chimney...to test for hot plate warping u needed to close the ash / air / draught door to hold the heat in....we'd piss that aly hot plate off & replace it with stainless

Great Looking Stove & Great Price Too, Thanks For Sharing This Here, Mark ! ATB T God Bless

Good review! Fix? Bend up a small "U" channel to go over the leg joints to keep them tight. Also slide your screen (spark arrestor) on the inside of your chimney pipe so you won't have to mess with it. We didn't camp out once this year. Florida has only fall and that's even too short!

WE NEED THE REVIEW!!!!!

Good looking stove and initial burn Mark , thanks for sharing , God bless !

The Aluminium top plate is a good idea but personally I would seal that up after a few burns and it has taken whatever shape it’s going to end up with. Like the fact that the side support/handles look like they are perfectly level and square to the top of the grill, so many stoves have slopping plates make them rather useless. The clean burn was probably down to the very dry Maple being used. Out of stock in the UK but it’s priced at around £200 pounds which seems a fair price for this stove.

Mark, I'm glad you didn't show us this stove before I spent a week building my last one. At that price, I'd probably have ordered one. They put a lot of thought into the features. One question - does the fire plate fit inside the ash drawer? It looks like the flange that supports it would allow a slightly narrower plate with no loss of function. Might make packing a bit easier. The top plate and chimney ring should also fit in there.

Hi Mark I love your channel and I really like that V stove but I would've liked to have seen a practicle way of removing the aluminum top plate and I wish you would've shown the installation of the first pipe. Thank you for your videos the gear the information and all the work you do for this channel.

I'm looking at one of theirs that's similar to the model you're showing, the one I'm looking at is slightly different. For Canadian prices I'm leaning towards it at $119 before tax, it is as light as the other fold down ones I was looking at with a better price.

Its been a year, any new information on this this stove yet🤔⛺🔥😊

Thanks Mark.

thank you ... but it's not entirely clear to me why you need a hole cover on the lid. Especially when it is hot and warps, how do you lift it off without burning yourself (where you can see how it is already smoking out)? The leg collapses during the video because it has no safety catch. I can well imagine how long the canvas bag will stay white. Is this a Chinese death trap invention?

Cool thanks mate

I could be wrong but shouldn’t you use hard wood for you first burn. It will run hotter and longer. Great video. Thanks for sharing👍

Great Review Brother. Probably cooks well too. Cheers

When you were trying to start the fire before the woods sticks caught fire, there was smoke leaking out of the top lid

Too bad don’t sell a grill like attachment for the the top cooking portion.

Hi Mark, i cant find any info on how to pack the chimney back inside....🙏

Hello from British Columbia Canada 🇨🇦🖐👍♥️🌳🌲🚍🚐🛣🚐🚍🌳🌲❄💧🦋

I have said pretty much all I want and need but one last thing. Condensation. You will have to deal with it in a day or two after camping trip. Otherwise you will have a nasty moldy mess.

well done yet again Mr.Y :+)

Interesting, but really don't like the aluminum top plate. Smoke loss inside a tent is really bad. Wouldn't take the chance. Wish they'd have just made it solid. Otherwise it's a really compelling design.

😂 Mini blizzards 😂

Hey Mark,,, Great Video,,,, I also believe that this stove is a Upgrade to the last one. One question,,, Why do you think they designed this stove with a “Removable top Plate “,,,??? Might it in some way add to the Clean burn,,??? Especially seeing that the top plate is made from a different material then the rest of the stove.,,, why,,,??? Still hoping for your complete “Pemmican” video,,,, Blessings ,,,, Joshua

Time to cook an English breakfast on it....😉😘✌️🇺🇸🇨🇦✌️

Better than the last one, but that top? I’ve seen a few stoves that just try too hard, or think they can replicate a real kitchen wood stove in cast iron with aluminum, or thin stainless. Little, thin things like this,imo, need to be more worried about being solid than having dubiously useful extras that have the potential to smoke people out of their tents. It’s just a weak point that can ruin a long awaited holiday. I’d be curious about not having a damper in the chimney for your next review. These little guys need to be as air tight as possible so you’ll get the maximum control, and nighttime burn times. I bet they didn’t include it because the top piece would leak like crazy. But they have to be able to shut down reasonably well, and not smoke. I may actually be in the market for one in the next couple years in an effort to extend the family camping season, and for hunting trips.

Mark have you used it overnight? In your opinion will it hold up to a Wyoming/Alberta winter?

Not for 300 bucks...
