Just bought one of these myself. Have to agree they are fabulous little ovens, even if you do have to play the turning game to make sure the food is evenly cooked 😂 The water heater that clips to the flue is a nice addition for making tea or having hot water when camping in a wilder location.

@DigitalTarmac425 8 ай бұрын

I put a little coal in mine on the kindling, then I throw in some logs (not seasoned). I will have to clean the flue regularly. I’m not paying for wood and coal will make unseasoned wood burn. It doesn’t smoke much as long as you keep it burning hot.

@nv200camper4 8 ай бұрын

unseasoned wood contains a lot more water and burns inefficiently. Seasoned wood will produce less creosote and more heat.

@DigitalTarmac425 8 ай бұрын

@@nv200camper4yeah but I’ve got enough unseasoned wood for free to heat my shed for about 2 years. Some of it will be dry by then

@user-eg7uw9ls4o 8 ай бұрын

I am in agreement with you. Yes you get less heat so you need more wood to keep it hot so no smoke as you say. If that wood is free and available you can’t lose. Seasoned wool is dry wood as you know, it doesn’t matter how quickly you dry it out if you are going to burn it. People tell me you can’t burn chipboard. I say to them yes I can just watch.

i found out it still dribbles out on top of your oven cuz the bottom flu pipe goes round the outside of the first bit on your oven top. it happened on my one.

@nv200camper4 7 ай бұрын

I understand how that would happen but we haven't had this issue as yet. I wonder if it's because of the type of fuel we are burning as it seems to produce very little creosote residue in the flue.

@ThomasGrillo 10 ай бұрын

That is a very nice stove. My only problem with it, is it has no stovepipe damper, which is hugely important for shutting down a stovepipe fire. The front air intake damper will take a very long time to affect the fire. My mother has a wood stove, and keeps fire extinguishing logs at the ready, just in case. They came in handy once. I do like that this stove has an oven. I'd highly recommend seeing if it's possible to replace the doorlatch handles with the coil type handles that don't get as hot. Thanks for sharing this. :)

@nv200camper4 10 ай бұрын

Thanks for commenting Thomas. I find that the vent on the door is very effective at shutting off the air to close down the fire. I will have a look at the door latch idea, thanks

Nice stove - but there's one HUGE issue. It does NOT have a stove pipe damper, and it NEEDS one. This will not only prevent the flames from reaching up into the stove pipe - which is VERY dangerous, but it will also cut down drastically on your wood usage.

Hi, thanks for the question. Yes the whole stove is coated in that paint. Once you get it too a reasonable temp it only takes about 5 minutes to "burn off". You will notice the smoke stopping from the metal.

@nv200camper4 7 ай бұрын

Going by the Outbacker website this is classed as a Tent Stove so it has to be sort of portable (hence the folding legs and the travel bag with handles). We regularly cook pizzas in it. I suppose it depends on how big you like your pizzas :) There are probably other stoves out there with bigger ovens, this happens to be the one I reviewed.

@nv200camper4 9 ай бұрын

@@foodparadise5792 the cut out on the top is part of the intended design and is great if you are cooking something that needs high heat- like a stir fry in a wok. On any stove, if air can find a way in then carbon monoxide can find a way out (through the door gaps/vents etc). On any wood burning stove carbon monoxide poisoning is potentially a serious hazard, play it safe and invest in an alarm.

@turbolevo8703 7 ай бұрын

I don’t understand your comment regarding carbon monoxide and shutting the fire down before bedtime. If the stove is allowing carbon monoxide to escape then it is dangerous whether awake or asleep. I would personally have a carbon monoxide alarm in close proximity to the stove just to be safe.

@nv200camper4 7 ай бұрын

all woodburning stoves put out Carbon Monoxide when burning and if air can get in then CO can get out. As I mention in the film at 36:48 having a CO alarm is essential. Better to be safe than sorry.
