WINNERWELL Fastfold Titanium Tent Stove | Ultralight 4 Pound Titanium Wood Burning Stove for Tents and Shelters | Includes Chimney Pipe | Functions as Ultralight Firepan

Lightweight stove. Have had the stove now for two winters and only used it for a few of short, 10-11 day, backpacking trips in bitter cold, rainy and snowy weather. The tepee stayed warm, and it did the job. I gave it 5 stars for sturdiness because it is really stable. It’s titanium, light weight, so it will warp a little with the heat, but so far nothing that has compromised effectiveness. It is a very good design. The pictures are from our latest trip Christmas 2021 in Michigan. My husband and I LOVE it, our dog loves it even more, and frankly I can’t imagine why we took so long to buy it; Worth every penny. Watched a lot of videos, and chose this stove because it folds out with no fidgety pieces to lose in snow during set up. This has proven to be key for set up when wearing gloves. We love that we can cook on it too. The stove gets hot enough to boil water in about 7-10 minutes. Depending on the wood we use, we would have to stoke about every half hour to keep a full flame. We have a 6 person tepee, and it gets really hot inside the tent when the stove is really going so we probably only reloaded the stove every hour or so unless we were cooking. Learned the hard way to keep the spark arrester clean. Got a little smoky on one of our early trips during a heavy downpour after a couple of days of really wet wood. We don’t have to carry as much winter gear with this stove, so we actually gained pack space. Also, our winter pack weight stayed about the same as when we carried extra gear to keep warm, even with the bigger tent and the stove. We thought about a stove with window(s) so we could see the flames, but in the end the functionality of a folding stove was the deciding factor for us. So far very happy with the purchase. Can’t wait to use it for our next trip this season. Happy Camping!

I did my homework on this (hours of youtube video reviews, etc) and THIS is the one:- lightest (titanium)- foldable with NO loose parts (trust me, in the dark and/or on snow, you don't want to worry about things to lose in assembly)- perfect size/length for standard purchased wood once splitAs other have pointed out- must do an initial burn-in at home to "Set" the pipe, which is hard, but possible, to roll with one person (on a flat surface like inside your garage) - burn in ourdoors obviously.- after that, on next use, the pipe practically rolls itself automaticallyI saw a guy on youtube who cut the pipe length down by a couple of feet. My recommendation is don't do that. On my first outing one spark made it's way through the spark arrestor and to my tent burning a tiny hole. If the pipe was shorter, that would happen more often.Anyway, i LOVE this purchase. 15 degrees and snowing outside, 80 degrees inside. :)

The Winnerwell Fastfold Titanium Hot Tent Stove was easy to assemble in the bitter cold first trip I used it on. I chose this stove over other similar options because of this and in the 10 degrees at night conditions I had to set this stove up in by a headlamp and with gloves on it was a major safety factor in my getting sheltered and warm. I could not have fumbled with wing nuts and pins in the dark and with gloves on set up one of the other choices.The main pro's are lightweight, easy setup and the titanium seems to hold the heat and pass it on better then my full size Winnerwell Stainless that is 31 pounds. Both have their advantages.The main con's are that the stove pipe is hard to roll the first time by yourself I used a trick others mentioned and used a 9' PVC Pipe and rolled it perfectly. The mistake was setting it up in my yard for a pre trip burn in and test. I went to get some wood to put in it and although had a tarp in front of it the stove was so light a gust of wind caught the pipe not supported by a tent and it acted like a sail pushing the empty stove over on its back. The pipe now has a few crinkles in it but still works and rolls fine after the burn in just not as pretty. LOLIn addition the stove will not fit full size 15" pieces of firewood like my stainless will you need 13" or less and I have found Birch works well and puts out a lot of heat. I recommend Hard woods. Two medium size pieces with a few pieces of kindling will heat a 10 by ten tepee tent in 10 degrees to about 70 degree plus for two hours. The coals will get you by for awhile longer. I found feeding the stove with a piece every 90 minutes works well and saves on fire starter and kindling.I recommend getting a matt to place the stove on I got a round 24" one for 12 dollars on Amazon. I also recommend a scraper to get ash out and a small metal bucket to hold it. I found a torch lighter for 15 dollars that works well if kept warm.I camped in bitter cold for the first time in a 10 by 10 seven foot high tepee hot tent for three nights. I had not planned on getting there in the dark or the wind and cold being so bitter at setup. I was glad I could set the stove up so easily with gloves on and there were no parts to fumble and lose.The stove heated fast and well and I had a bag of birch smaller logs that got me through until I could get chopped smaller pieces and also a bag of kindling and fire starters are a must.My large Stainless Winnerwell heats a 10 by 12 outfitter tent and is luxury but 31 pounds and a heavy 70 plus pound tent is not a fast or easy setup or easily hauled into the backwoods combo. I found that a 12 pound 10 by 10 tepee tent a can stand up in with the Fastfold gives me an under twenty pound combo I can stay warm and dry in when its 10 degrees out and snowing.I liked using less wood to get the same heat although the limited capacity had me adding to it twice as often. If you want a lightweight easy to assemble hot tent stove that gives you freedom to deploy it anywhere you could not lug its over 30 pound cousin then the Winnerwell Fastfold is that hot tent stove.

This stove worked flawlessly and for what it is (super light, titanium, pack stove) it performs as intended. For those having trouble with the chimney, I would suggest paying attention to breaking it in the right way. You don’t crank these stoves with tons of wood at one time. You build coals.Chimney is tall (9’) but it’s not designed to be freestanding and has a way to stabilize it (see pictures). AND you can always cut it down. It will NOT melt. It’s titanium and rated for 3000 degrees. Far greater than any firebox fire.I took our tent from 47 degrees with no coals to 77 in the tent in approx 15 min.Lastly, I lost my spark arrestor and worked via email with Winnerwell. They had none in stock but assured me they will let me know when in. And sure enough they DID teach out and I got a replacement.All in all very impressive package.
