I'm wanting to know what people would really want from a stove. What features would you like to see, price range you're willing to pay, weight of the stove, etc. My current design has half the footprint of the Clarry, the hopper stores slipped over the stove body, and the stove is around 100 lbs. (same as the Clarry) though I am looking at ways to shave off more weight. I want to see what the real need and wants are out there.
Thanks!

My Dad and I bought a gravity fed stove foe a wall tent a couple of years ago. Worked great for awhile till one night it almost killed my buddy and in our sleep. The pellets got stuck in the tube and it started to smoulder (sp) in the tube and smoke up in the tent. Tryed a couple of different types of pellets but came up with same results. Hopefully you can come up with a better design.Good lucktook one to Montana this year and same thing happened. When we finally got that problem figured out and the stove burning good I was just drifting off to sleep and the giant flame shot out the back of the stove and nearly caught my brand new walltent on fire! Needless to say we toughed out the cold for the rest of the trip!

My buddy had the same thing happen. Seems like a common problem.

I would think you would need alot bags for a week trip. I dont think I would have room for much after packing everything else! :dunno:

I dont get the draw to pellet stoves unless your in an area with no firewood to cut. I dont know the first thing about pellet stoves so maybe someone can educate me on them. If I was planning a 7 night stay and planned on running my stove for 6+ hours every night in my 12x14 tent to stay warm, how many bags or pounds of pellets would someone need?

:yeah: Part of hunting is the wall tent and wood stove, cutting wood and smoking out the tent when you put more wood in the stove. I've been loading wood in the stove for 40 years, all my hunting clothes smell like wood smoke, it's part of the tradition. I guess I can't fault folks who want convenience though.

Bought the pellet stove out of cyclinder stoves in Utah. At 10 degrees the boys were sleeping on top of there sleeping bags. A 40 pound bag per day is what I figured for camp and it seemed to work out. My wall tent is a 12 by 14 and they sleep on cots. the stove is the medium size. I figured that the day I don't spend cutting firewood for the stove can be used glassing area's and scouting. We still cut wood for a campfire but not as much. I will be going to a 16 by 20 tent here in a couple a years because of more grandson (Yea more packers) so will probally go to the larger stove. One thing that the maker was very clear on is that YOU DON'T USE CHEAP PELLETS. The other thing I do is have a pea level with the stove. I make sure that the fire box that delivers the pellet is at 2 percent fall towards the stove. In my brain it seems to help and I've had no problems. Good luck to your endeavor to build one. With the previous posting has any one hung a CO detector in there tent? Just curious
we have a fireman in camp and he puts on e in every time we go hunting. (CO detector)

Have you put thought into a final price point your aiming for?
I paid $900 for a Clarry pellet stove

My input would be to consider how you can get the most heat radiating off it.

Had a serious n Idaho elk camp I socialize with use one this last season and it was a failure. It was the one the safe company sells at the Big Horn Show. It burned fine however it would not put out nearly enough heat. I have since heard the same feedback multiple times as I researched whether I wanted to go down this route with my wall tent. All feedback was the same from independent sources, not enough heat.The one we used (brand unknown) put out plenty of heat for my 14x17x5 walltent but it took a long time for the stove to get hot enough to radiate the heat. One nice thing about wood is once you get a fire going it is hot pretty fast. Safety issues is what turned me off to them. Wood for this guy!

I have no experience in pellet stoves. Is 40 pounds normal for a night. Seems like an awful lot.
