Using Wood Camp Stoves

Article by Jonsky Sicuna
Wood camp stoves are a popular alternative to modern stoves like propane stoves and liquid fuel stoves. They’re very lightweight, cheap and you don’t need to buy the fuel because it burns on wood. This is also a limitation because you can’t use this type of stove where there is no wood around. However, when there’s plenty of wood around you can use this stove continuously for as long as you keep adding wood to it. It’s a very efficient trail stove.
A wood camp stove is simply a piece of metal that is cut and bent to form a chimney. It typically has small holes at the bottom and a large hole on top for the fire to vent when you put a pot on top. In some designs, the top holes are to one side only which causes the fire to burn unevenly. You also can’t control the fire like you could in a propane stove or liquid fuel stove because there’s no knob for you to control the fire.
Cooking with wood fire also means that you have to feed it with wood frequently. This also means that you might have to constantly attend to the fire to keep it going, making other chores difficult. Fires are also harder to start especially in the cold winds of winter. There will be a lot of smoke as you add wood which some may find annoying. Because they generate a lot of smoke and carbon dioxide cooking inside the tent in a fierce storm is out of the question. Although I’ve seen one that is so well designed that you don’t see any visible smoke when used to boil water and is made out of used tin cans. Another problem with wood stoves is that you can only use it where it is allowed to burn and collect wood.
In order to get a wood stove started you first need to have some tinder or you can whittle some wood with your pocket knife to make some fine material which is very flammable. You can also use other stuff as long as it is flammable.
Once you have a good amount of tinder ready, put the stove over the tinder and start to fill the stove with small pieces of wood. Twigs, branches or any wood that is less than a centimeter in diameter would work well. Try to lay your wood upright (or close to upright) so that the smoke a debris can move up the stove efficiently. Don’t use too much wood at the beginning because it might hinder air circulation inside the stove. The stove won’t burn well without the air.
Use a match or lighter to light the tinder to get the fire started. In a few moments you will have a fire going ready for cooking. You might have to blow into the stove if you use wet wood. Once the stove gets going, it will continue to burn until you stop putting wood in.
Place your pot on top of the stove to start cooking. The fire will exhaust itself through the big top hole of the stove. Add more pieces of wood if the fire starts to die out. It usually takes about 10 minutes to get water to a rolling boil.

wood camp stoves question by turbulentturban: is there a portable camp stove or wood stove that can last a month?
most people i’ve talked to said they only last a few hours or a few days but why would i pay $ 150 for something that won’t be a little more durable than that?

Hose/Regulator.,
Item was the exact fit for the previous item that I had purchased. I was not sure what I really needed to go with the cast iron burner that I had purchased and was told this would fit, and it did. Very thankful for that.

|Regulator & hose kit,
I purchased heavy duty signle propane stove (model 330973) with recommended LP kit (F273071). When using, stove create heavy black film on cooking pans and cookware. We checked with Home Depo where we purchased the gas tanks, Northern tools for their stove and Mr. Heater.
Reading one of the posting, it appears low pressure kit is not suitable for the stove we purchased.
Two questions:
1. Does low pressure kit cause black film during cooking?
2. Should we use high pressure kit and which product number we should use?

|I have used backpacking stoves for years without any problems. The most simple designs are the ones that may be most reliable. I have a “Simon Stove” which is fueled with 91% high-grade isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol available in drugstore aisles). When I want convenience, I will burn “Sterno” cannisters in a metal wind-blocking shell that I bought from Cabela’s in Nebraska on a drive across the country. There are endless possibilities for more complex stoves, depending on your camp requirements. Many years ago, I used a multi-fuel burner that never lit under cold conditions, unless primed with a flammable gel over the fuel tube in order to vaporize the fuel to flame-up. This kind of ignition problem may be what you heard about. The stoves last through many years of service, but fuel supply and ignition are limiting factors. That is why I keep things simple now, but I am a minimalist camper.
See the web-sites below.
Well I don’t know where they came up with that nonsense! I have some camping stoves over 20 years old that still work. My favorite for back packing are the MSR stoves. Their light, pack down small and work well. For a permanent camp I use Coleman stoves. I have a Coleman two burner white gas stove that’s 25 years old and it still works, ditto for a two burner Coleman propane stove I have. I had to replace some parts after about 10 years of use but it cost less than $ 20 to do so.
Any stove that doesn’t last a month is either junk or the operator didn’t know what the heck they were doing. One thing that will ruin a stove is the wrong fuel or not reading the instructions.
My MSR Dragonfly cost less then $ 100 and has gone through every thing Mother Nature could dish out here in Alaska for a year now. I bought it because I loved the other MSR stoves I own and wanted a new small one.
If you want a cheap wood burner make a hobo stove. They have plans online on how to make one on the cheap.
I think it’s fairly obvious the poster has misunderstood the people she’s talked to and is confusing the stove for the fuel. A $ 150 camp stove (and many much cheaper stoves) will last many years but depending on how much you bring and use you could very well run out of fuel (white gas, pressurized gas canisters, methylated alcohol, etc.) in a few hours or a few days. In preparing for a wilderness trek one would have to estimate the number of cooked meals, required cooking times, and figure out how much fuel one would need to bring.
A wood stove of course would use pine cones and sticks from the woods and wouldn’t run out of fuel but wood stoves are heavier and more difficult to light and that and finding dry fuel are wilderness skills one would have to practice before relying upon for survival.
I think you are misunderstanding your friends.
However, if you are looking for cheap initial investment and cheap to operate, this is your answer. Nimblewill Nomad walks all over the place, all throughout the year. This is his stove idea and the plans are free. The rest of the site is good reading as well.

Of course, there are reasons why people still pay money for dependable, easy to use fuel. This type of apparatus takes some getting used to, but don’t let the simplicity of it fool you. If you put in the time to learn it’s quirks it will be very good to you. It’s up to you what you get and use, but every camp stove should last at least five years or more. Actually, they should last over twenty with good maintenance and quality parts. It’s buying the fuel and having to run into town that can get on your nerves after awhile. No such problems with this particular unit, but like I said it has a learning curve. It depends on what you feel is the greater headache – getting used to this system or needing to resupply. I prefer this system, but I don’t like continuously buying more fuel. I can almost always start a fire.
I have one that is going strong after 7 years and I can see no reason why it will last another 7
if you search Fire Spout you should find it
they’re more durable then that, it’s just hard to carry enough fuel for that long of a trip, you’d need many fuel bottles to last a month of cooking, if a wood stove, they can last nearly forever as long as they’re taken care of well(cleaned, properly dried, never left in a humid place for too long, ect)
It’s not the durability or reliability, it’s the fuel capacity. There’s not a stove on the market that can carry a month’s worth of fuel, especially with daily use. Maybe some of the more high end camping stoves, but nothing I’ve ever seen will go a full month. I would be more tempted to find a good method of cooking on an open fire that I can re-create when I need to. I have seen some collapsible grills that are really nice. You just set it over the fire.
If you get a stove, save it until building a fire is not an option.
I have also seen wood burning hobo stoves on http://www.youtube.com and Les Stroud built one out of a fuel can on Survivorman.
If you’re a minimalist, ditch the stove idea and build a campfire. It will last as long as you’re willing to feed it.
