Warning. Went out in the hot tent and bought the blocks from Tractor Supply. These blocks really soot up your pipe and they don't burn as hot as wood. During the night, it was getting cold, so I tried adding some wood to the stove after having these blocks in the stove. They don't break down as quickly as you think. It actually caused a blockage in my stove as some of the blocks didn't burn all the way. Its not a good thing when its below freezing and you can't put any more wood in the fire. Ended up having to use small shovel and pull the unburned portions of the blocks out of the stove so I could put wood into it. Once wood was used, the stove started heating up the tent much more warmer than the fuel blocks. Also when I tore down the stove when packing up, the stove pipe was really coated heavily with soot. The spark arrestor was starting to get clogged pretty good. I did try the blocks thinking it would be a great idea, but my one night in the woods with these changed my mind to go back to regular wood. I hope anyone else who tries these will have better luck than I did. Don't know if I just got a bad batch of fuel blocks or what, but make sure you have a little backup plan if something similar happens to you like it did me. This isn't a knock at your video! I loved the outside the box thinking! It would have been really nice if it worked out with me. The idea of not having to put more wood in the stove for 4 hours during the night was a fantastic idea! Keep up the testing and outside the box thinking!

Absolutely game changer, Throw that thing in right before lights out and you’ll be good. Fishing and hunting camp will be nice now! Gonna go check tractor supply tomorrow

Recently tried this technique and it was a total success, did it over multiple nights and the longest time i had so far using various methods was start time 830pm and still had 2 charcoal sized pieces smouldering at 1030 am!!

Great idea! Always lookin for an excuse to go to Tractor Supply. 😅

That’a a game changer! Thanks for running this test and sharing!

That really is a game changer, I saw a video of someone doing this years ago and when I looked into the blocks they were crazy expensive, for 4.99 though, that is worth trying out.

Good to know. Thanks for the feedback! I know of a few folks, myself included, who would be interested in the results of the mix of the two. Maybe another video? ;-)

Thanks for doing the research for us, definitely gonna pick up a few of those for my car camping trips.

I’ll have to try that. If you get 6hrs your sleep system will from hot only need to keep you warm for 2hrs for a full night sleep should not be a problem if you have an appropriate sleeping system

That’d be great. You could have the video do double duty to catch the actual temp of the stove out of the outdoor, windy environment. I liked that you pointed out, in this video, that part of the solution is having the right sleeping system. It sure won’t need to be 80-100 degrees in the tent if you’ve got a good pad with a suitable bag.

Nicely done... great demo ! 👍 ...Alan in 🇨🇱

Couldn’t agree more absolute fame changer

That’s awesome man. I’m getting me a few packs. Take care.

will test this and update, liking the possibilities here.

That's really interesting, have to check these out. I love winter camping and even with a stove I usually bring a small Mr. Buddy and propane to keep the tent warm all night, but this might mean not having to bring those. You just get up after 5 hours and pop another one in!

I’d bet you could get easy 7-8 hours considering the wind was blowing on that the whole time and wouldn’t be in a tent. Great video!

Thank you.

Great idea will try it out this deer season in northern Minnesota. Thanks for sharing..

Interesting, my stove arrives tomorrow, may have to try that. Was looking up ways to prolong burn times a method I'll try also was getting a good bed of coals made then pull them up to the front and stuffing as much wood in as possible behind the coals. Lol i love all things fire related

I know someone that used lump charcoal in theirs. They just loaded it up and dampered it off.

I need to find some of these in the UK that was impressive and with the dampers closed down I reckon 7 hours

I use your idea 👍

Check out the TNT videos , Murray has a Video Using a Vevor Tent stove indoors using 2 Methonol Burners instead of Wood. You can also see on his channel how to make a vegetable Oil burner s, which would last a long time, they burn clean with no soot and I’ve plenty of heat.

If you didnt already have a bed of coals in there i would put two little sprig rails of fat wood on the bottom of the stove and strike them to flame and slide that block right on top of them. It wouldnt have any choice but to light up. I got a pkg of that fatwood from atwoods farm & ranch. (It rhymes i know) that stuff is flammable like old railroad tie chips.

Very cool! 5 bucks to boot. Nice.

I found this little fit n hot propane burn pit,buildin an insert with a stovepipe ta vent the fumes,gunna have a propane camp stove in a bit....

200° to 250° isn't really acceptable as a stove top temperature. Flue stacks normally run around 350°

$5? geeze. They're like $40 on amazon. can you provide a link where you got them? thanks.

I know you said the stove was a Danchel. What mode is it? Would you recommend it?

Does this stove hold up to heavy use

Cool subbed 😎

Ooops... Was trying to comment on my own video, sorry

Does anyone use heat beads?🤔 No, just me 😁

What is the name of the wood

Your inferred thermometer won’t read stainless correctly.

Great video. Thanks for sharing. I am living outside in Vermont winters as a whistleblower federal investigator blasting Epsteins partners-in-crime in both major parties. Caspar & Miro Weinberger are pi$$Ed AF. 😂
