Large titanium Roll-up C-Ring ultralight wood stove using freshly fallen sticks to rapidly boil the primary pot (900ml) and plenty of heat to spare for heating another large dinner pot (1.8L) for two to four hungry trekkers.

Amongst my ultralight wood-fired blower stove, there is a stove for everyone in the range; from large to small, single to double pot, ultralight rollup to non-roll-up, DIY budget student stoves, base camp stoves and even a stove when you don’t want to carry a stove with weight and budget as little as 75g and $47 respectively.

For those who are interested in the tinkering, technical and historical background to my stoves, my full article on the ultralight blower stove describes the developments with my learnings through failure, persistence and chance.

ADDENDUM

For my latest and most innovative ultralight wood stove, please see my Miniature Dome Stove. It combines a powerful tent heater/ cooker stove with a fast blower stove and a backup alcohol stove. It is the ultimate three-in-one wood-fired cold climate backpacking stove. At about 650g it includes a large dinner pot that is also the backpacking container for the stove components.

The glow at the lower left is the light from the intense combustion of long wood stick gas and charcoal that is reflecting off the fuel sticks and the supporting stick slide. The fire dome can be inverted and it becomes a blower stove or an alcohol stove.
