Titanium UL Compact Design Perfect for Survival, Camping, Hunting & Emergency Preparation, 5.45 oz

A friend of ours has the Stainless version of this stove, and had brought it out to our place earlier this month. We were really impressed with how lightweight and simple yet sturdy the construction was—and really stoked it had a lifetime guarantee! Good products get backed up, it just makes sense. We heard there was a titanium version, half the weight of the stainless for a fraction more. Since we were looking for a more natural alternative than propane canisters, a wood burning zero footprint stove seemed like it fit the bill.We made sure to bring a flint, some dry kindling + catch material to start the fire. It’s been decently wet here in Oregon, so we weren’t sure finding dry moss and sticks would let us beat the slipping sun. Austin packed along some birch bark, and used his Morakniv Eldris Fixed-Blade Pocket-Sized Knife with Sandvik Stainless Steel Blade and Plastic Sheath to make a featherstick with some dry kindling we keep in the yurt. These Moraknivs are great for the price, you can use them for all your dirty work and bushcrafting shenanigans without worrying about ruining blades that perhaps have more meaning or specialized uses for you. I appreciate that this knife is small enough to hang around your neck and stays locked in tight in the sheath, but it can be removed with one hand when wearing it.This stove packs flat and weighs in **under 7oz (198.44g)**. Putting the stove together is very simple, just four walls and a bottom plate to catch your ash and keep your fire off the ground. The design allows for a lot of air to breathe life into the fire, making it really easy to keep alight. The top has a cross grid you can use to supply a stable bottom for your pot, but it does seem that you’d be able to cook on the top of it without the grid if your pan is larger than the base. We were able to stoke it easily from the front, and when we wanted a thicker coal bed, we simply added some in through the top as well. The stove does get hot while it is in use, you can see that while it doesn’t leave a footprint, the radiating heat from the stove did dry off the stone we set it on. Perhaps intentional placement of the stove is best to ensure that whatever nature lie underneath it doesn’t get cooked. It cools down very quickly after the fire dies, which makes for an easy + quick cleanup.We were able to make some delicious Aeropress Coffee and Espresso Maker coffees with the water boiled on the stove. I hand-ground our coffee beans with our Firlar Premium Manual Coffee Grinder Adjustable Coffee Grinder Burr, Stainless Steel Burr Mill Grinder with Brush, which I also love! This slim silver tube is pretty simple for a grinder but--it even allows you to adjust the grind of your coffee in the woods! Perfect for a prior barista turned bush-crafter like myself. Hand ground coffee pressed in wood-fired water? Yes please!We are definitely happy about our purchase of the stove. This is a much lighterweight and natural experience than our propane canister stove, although we consider that lightweight too! Astounding! Now we will be able to take this stove backpacking with us on our future treks, hikes and walks around the land, all without a trace!Thanks Emberlit for such a stellar product, may those who seek sturdy simplicity find it with you.

Incredible stove. The Maryland and PA sections of the A.T. Are 2 miles from my house and its my home away from home this thing allows me to ridgerun at 20-30 miles/day and not add a 4oz bronze stove 3oz stand for said stove and 12oz of fuel for what equates to 90mins of burn time. In all honesty all I cook with this thing is boiled water and o how well it does that! A hand full of broken up sticks picked up before getting to campsite (city slickers tend to decimate all fuel stuffs near shelters on their woodland sojourns... Sometimes with unnecessary 7hr fires that keep me from sleeping past 11:30p, but that's another story). Aforementioned sticks and a Vaseline cotton ball, and ferrocium rod are all that is needed to light this stove up to a literal hellfire within a min.I boil my water in a Klean kanteen (forever posing the highly philosophical question of what is klean kanteen when it becomes dirty?) about 3/4 of the container filled will boil (wish I could give you times on this part, but frankly I'm so worn out when I get to the shelter after a 20-30mile day, that time doesn't matter in the least, if it gets dark just get the headlight out :) ) it certainly isn't a long time 6-8mins probably.However, I should mention the klean kanteen (its base 3-5in up) will get caked in carbon, so you know... Clean it more than once a season... So much so that I actually found it sticking in my net bottle pocket on my go lite jam 35l.The stove however, surprisingly does not cake with carbon in the slightest (I know I read about the coating on the guys website, I was of the opinion "yeah that'll work..." But it does, damn near flawlessly. A simple wipe down with the bandana (which doubles as food prep area, and wrap around paper towel like function to catch the drippings from the burrito)He'll I'm talking about it enough, here's what I cook with it every time...3/4 27oz klean kanteen of water1 bullion cube3-4 1/4 servings of bobs red mill tvp (50% protein)3-4 Benita soft shell burritos1. Bring water to boil2. Put in bullion cube3. Allow bullion to dissolve4. Use bandana as hot pad to pick up and poar water into a toaks titanium cup5. Place remaining water back on stove to keep warm6. Use 1/4 cup plastic measuring cup to measure out servings of tvp and place in water until meat like texture is achieved (water is fully absorbed)7. Use light my fire titanium spork (spoon and fork on alternate ends) to spoon tvp mixture onto open burrito.8. Use McCormick taco flavored seasoning (I know so many product endorsements) to sprinkle on top to taste9. Roll burrito up in desired fashion10. Pick up burrito cradled in bandana11. Place in mouthCongrats, you are now in possession of the elusive, highly spartan recipe that is highly protein rich (in my experience the single thing that will end you trip from food cravings from lack thereof) THAT I WAS NEVER ABLE TO FIND ONLINE! (Spent days and weeks looking for something this simple). As a fringe benefit you won't find yourself on the roller coaster in VA (brotherhood of AT hikers will get that one) craving a honey-pineapple brown sugar glazed ham and wishing you were home to get your hands on one. Eat this meal at the end of (though ive taken to eating cold burritos for breakfast too) 20-30 mile trip once or twice a month for a whole season and you'll be looking a massively well defined calves and godly thighs.In addition to all these perks, you have also saved the annoyance of eating dry grains and powdered potato flakes mixed with olive oil, on the infinite # of trips you've (I've) gone on to perfect a simple, spartan, lightweight, straightforward, CHEAP (about $1-1.50), no screwups meal that is both filling and much appreciated in the often protein devoid world that is LD, endurance ridge running/hiking.Note to readers, please don't post on this just because you are opposed to soy products for one reason or another, are literati grammar nazis that see my lack of punctuation/conjugation inferior to your own, dislike my ramblings, etc etc... I HATE receiving those emails. Got enough to do everyday without having to click, delete those...O yeah, to the guy that made the stove, I meant to take great pictures of this stove in the shenandoahs for you, but the trip was pretty much a rained out stink fest. So now you have a great endorsement on amazon, well you and half a dozen other companies.This review has been long as I have lots of experience with this stove and experience hiking in general, and frankly I'd personally rather read a review from THAT GUY than what some shut in doomsday prepper thought of amazons shipping speed ;)Enjoy the recipeEnjoy my insightEnjoy the ramblings of this collegiate hiker lunatic

It's über-thin, which is nice, and can handle a variety of fuels (charcoal, alcohol stove, fuel tablets, Sterno cans, pine cones, and of course, wood.The titanium cools really fast which is also very convenient.The cross bars are also useful for smaller pots and camping mugs, though I wouldn't cooking anything on it without an aluminum foil wrap or a pan. It's not for grilling.The light weight of this unit is especially useful when trying to keep pack weight down.If you plan on only using a camping mug or small pot for solo trips, the Emberlit Mini may be a better fit as it uses less fuel, and is smaller when packing it up, reducing chance of bending.But if you plan to do foil or pan cooking, or plan on using a larger pot for 2-4 people, and bio fuels are a focus, this Emberlit is about as light a setup as you can get. It's also a light enough to be a good backup if you use a multi-fuel or gas canister stove and run out of fuel.Of all the medium sized wood stoves, this is the lightest I've found.
