OVERVIEW:
The Medium collapsible wood burning backpacking stove is cut, bent, and built with computer controlled equipment to ensure precise and uniform quality. Feel secure in knowing that our tent stoves are the highest quality of their type, with tight tolerances that control air flow through the firebox and materials that will last through years of tough use.
We design our tent stoves to be a blend of strength, durability, ease of use, heat transfer, and weight. Titanium is very light, tough, and handles high heat loads very well.
Our stoves feature a front intake control, tight tolerances, and a functional damper that allows you to easily control airflow through the firebox. The flat top makes cooking a breeze. Our stoves are built well enough that if you're good with your fire starting you can have a cup of boiling water only 6-7 minutes after lighting the flame.
Select stove pipe length using the chart below. Stove does NOT include pipe unless you select a pipe length.
Tent stoves can be dangerous. Fire is extremely hot and should be handled with caution. Misuse can lead to serious injury or damage. By using our tent stoves, the user assumes all risk and responsibility. We are not liable for any damages, injuries, or negligence related to their use. Practice safe handling and fire safety at all times. Purchasing this stove signifies your agreement to these terms of use.
FEATURES:
- Titanium construction
- Intake control
- Sliding door
- Damper with integral spark arrestor
- Stove packs down to roughly 10.25" X 8" X 3" tall
- Stovepipe rolls up to roughly 12" long cylinder 2 .5" in diameter (held in place by pipe rings)
- Note that Medium Stoves come with a 2.5" stovepipe vs the 3 1/8" pipe of larger standard stoves.
OPTIONS:
- Pipe Length
- We cut the stove pipe to the desired length. See the stove chart under the "Videos & Media" Tab for suggested lengths for your tent
- Folding Saw
- We sell our favorite folding saw from Silky Saws. The silky gomboy makes a great fire wood cutter and folds down nicely into our packs
- Glass Door
- glass door is a great addition to your stove. Just 7 ounces and made from tempered ceramic glass, it doesn't add much weight and makes the flame easier to manage
WHAT TO EXPECT
Stoves add comfort, the ability to dry gear, and gives cold weather trips an element of enjoyment and fun that is lacking without the tent stove. They allow you to go to bed warm and dry, and to warm up first thing in the morning. They can also extend or replace cooking fuel weight.
They don't however, replace sleeping gear insulation. The stoves burn hot and fast, but to keep the temps up they need to be fed regularly. So if you have a forecast for 0° then you should have a 0° rated bag, unless you want to stay up all night stoking the fire.
Longer burn times require larger wood. If you prep larger wood you can get through the night with 3-4 stokings. In our opinion a good beefy knife for batoning rounds and a good quality folding or lightweight saw are all the tools you need for wood prep, and are superior to a hatchet or axe for most users.

Instructions:
- Stove Assembly - lay bottom out and assemble sides, back, front into the grooves. Put top on, then keeping pressure on top and bottom insert one leg from bottom through top. Install wingnut on top, then install wingnut on bottom and tension. It is much easier to install the next three legs, just repeat the process. The flat based weld nuts are feet.
- When burning for the first time, do not over tighten the stove box or you will cause warping.
- Clean the titanium before the first burn - any fingerprints will heat set and be there forever.
- Pipe Assembly - The pipe is a bear to roll the first time, but after burning it is a cinch. The first burn heat sets the pipe, and gives it memory of the stovepipe shape. To roll it the first time, take your time, and wear gloves. Start on one end, carefully rolling the pipe into an elongated cone shape until you can slip the first ring on. Milk that ring down the pipe slowly, adding more rings as you go. Alternatively, you can use two or more people to make the job go quicker. The lazy man's way is to take a long piece of PVC and use that to help roll the pipe into shape.
- The pipe goes around the damper. Slide the lower pipe ring up to give some room for expansion, slip the pipe over the damper, then lower the pipe ring to tighten.
- Make sure there are no crinkles or creases in the pipe before the first burn, or they will be there forever.
- Fire Starting - Wetfire, Instafire, trioxane, commercial paraffin wax infused cardboard products (sold for starting charcoal grills), or vaseline soaked cotton balls all work great for starting fires in our stoves. With one of these lit in the middle to back of the stove, start by placing small twigs or shavings on top, leaving plenty of breathing room until it's going well. Once a good coal bed is going you can place rounds in. More traditional fire starting with jute twine, charcloth, flint and steel, shavings, etc, are crazy fun but unfortunately not in our stoves. The door size limits access and the commercial or home prep fire starters work better.
- Advanced Tip - A handy DIY solution to keep the damper in the position you want is to source some small coil springs and e-clips from a hardware store. Put the spring on the damper control (the shepherds crook side) so that it places tension against the damper pipe. Back this spring with an e-clip (retainer clip) and the damper stays put. You'll burn through the spring after a few good fires, but they only cost cents per piece, so it's cheap to have several in your stove bag.
FAQ
Q: Will this stove melt if I get my fire too hot?
A: Titanium has a 3000 degree melting point, so you an burn anything short of jet fuel in this stove without fear of melting it.
Q: Will this stove melt my tent?
A: Only if you aren't careful. Our stove jack is fire resistant and protects the stove pipe from touching the tent. If you let your tent wall touch a hot stove, it will melt.
Q: What size tent should I use the Medium stove in?
A: This stove is recommended for our 2 person tents like the Guardian or Silvertip. If you are trying to save weight, it can also work in the Twilight 3 person tent or Cimarron 4 person tent.
Q: Can I use this stove in a non Seek Outside Tent?
A: Probably. If your tent has a fire-resistant stove jack and is rated for use with a stove, our stoves will work. Check with the tent manufacturer for stove pipe length and make sure their tent is compatible with a tent wood burning stove.
Q: What fuel works best?
A: Dry hardwoods offer a longer burn time. Avoid wet or resinous woods whenever possible as they create more sparks, smoke and creosol buildup. Tips for starting a fire in a hot tent here
Q: Can one person backpack with this stove?
A: Yes. This stove packs down flat and compact, weights less than 3 lbs making it easy to carry.
Q: Can you cook on this stove?
A: The medium stove does not have a lot of surface area to rest a cook pot, but it is sturdy enough to cook on (or under) and can boil water in just a few minutes.
