The Solo ultralight wood stove and pot (350g) has a blower that burns the ends of long fallen sticks to provide fast, convenient and clean cooking. The 700ml cook pot stores the titanium stove body and all accessories. It can be used with larger pots. The derivative Share Stove can heat two pots at the same time.
This ultralight wood stove is for minimalist one pot at a time cooking where plenty of hot water will suffice to make lots of hot drinks, soups and noodle etc. Although it is small, this stove is powerful and effective and with experience can be used (as is) with large dinner pots, even if less efficiently and conveniently than share stove or the larger models described on other pages.
This ultralight wood stove has been designed to burn damp, wet or frozen sticks with minimal preparation and should burn much better than natural draft stick burning stoves when using wet sticks. The blower creates a very hot fire on one end of the sticks. While providing intense cooking heat, the stove also heats and dries the incoming fuel sticks, so that they will burn easily when they enter the burn chamber adjacent to the blower air jet. The bed of coals that form in the burner will keep the stove idling without the continued use of the blower, but will still provide useful cooking/simmering heat in this state. When a strong burn is required the fuel sticks can be simply pushed into the burn chamber and the blower can be started again.
