I recently purchased a titanium wood stove from Seek Outside.   This stove weighs 46 ounces including the smoke stack, damper and arrestor.  I intend (in the beginning) to use the stove with a Tipi Tent (RedCliff) for winter travel.   The RedCliff comes it at 78 ounces.   All combined, they weigh less than 8 lbs.  Which is pretty good for a 4 person shelter and wood stove to heat it.

Now, understand and am typically NOT one to measure ounces when backpacking.   While I do keep it light, I simply don’t bring much in the way of camping/backpacking gear.   It also depends on what I am doing.   Backpacking is just a way to get somewhere for me.  I don’t consider it “my activity”.  Typically, I backpack to do research, to climb, to do something else.   This tent/wood stove combo is intended to fly with me in my airplane, on my boat, snowmobile, in my sledge.   Essentially, I’ve decided to keep it light so I can haul other gear.

I plan to experiment with the stove for other uses such as using it in the awning of the expedition trailer or in a shed and garage.   The video provides some practical information.  The first step is “messing with it” and “burning it in”.  I thought I would make a video as it might be of interest to y’all,   I hope you get something out of it.
