that would be my top choice if I were to buy another one.
Your kids will love yard camping and so will that cool German Shepherd. I have one the looks just like him

I have the SO XL stove and the TIGoat L WiFi and thus far I like the SO better. The WiFi is ok but the door is the issue for me. It is a simple piece of titanium that just flaps over the hole. I had an issue with the stove burping and sending out smoke to the point that I had to unzip the Tipi and let it air out. I also did not like how small the opening was in the TiGoat. The SO stove as the door is larger allowing for larger wood pieces which give longer burn time.

I just returned from an Idaho trip and I stayed nice and warm in my SO 6 man tipi with the SO XL stove. Ill likely be selling my TiGoat stove soon enough.

Nice.  Looks like a good unit. 

Myself, I could never use something not extremely collapsible but that is a fine looking stove

Got me wondering......


Dont have Any experience with the titanium pack stoves however....

I have a cylinder stove in my alaknak, and a box stove in my ski shack. Noticed the cylinder stove acts more like a rocket stove and constantly have to keep pushing with wood in towards the outlet of the chimney to get a good hot burn going before I close it up for a long slow burn, whereas my box stove in my shack has everything coming straight up out of the top and isnt nearly the fuss as my cylinder stove. Almost seems that the more surface area on the floor of the stove makes it easier to get going but rhe cylinder stove seems to hold coals longer....

Would that hold true with the pack stoves? Also going the ultralight hot tipi/tent route trying to figure this all out....

First burn went really well on the TiGoat medium wifi. I'm very happy with this thing.

Side question about having a fire in a designated wilderness area. I saw for wilderness areas n the washington trails page it says "wilderness area rules apply. Fires prohibited. Stoves only". Does this mean that a stove like this is ok or were they referencing things like a Jetboil and similar pocket stoves for cooking?

I was assuming that these stoves for fires were permissible in wilderness areas as long as there isn't a burn ban in effect?

should be o k with a spark arrestor screen except during very high fire danger.Probably open to some interpretation though

[TRD1911]

I picked up a spark arrestor for the top and bottom of this but still not 100% comfortable with it in Mid-September (especially if it's as dry as it has been the past couple years)

when you need the stove you don’t have to worry about sparks. If its not wet or frosty no need for a fire usually I’ve found.

Very good point here but I planned on the stove being dual purpose - comfort and cooking
