I do have a cylinder stove and a 3 dog and a 4 dog.

I like the dogs better than the cylinder. They are easier to stack with the gear because they are rectangle. And the legs snap in pockets rather than thread in.

I suspect that chef stove will work just fine.

all depends on what kind of camping you do, and the size tent you are using

1-3 nights that should be fine if temps stay above the 20s

3-6 nights 20 and below, something bigger that holds more coals makes for a more comfortable trip

you can also maximize the heat output of your stove by adding a stack robber which helps out immensely, but in general smaller cylinder stoves eat wood and dont hold heat as long as a box stove

Post by: OltHunter on September 08, 2019, 09:21:06 PM: I have one. Works really well in my opinion.I had to bend some things around to get a better seal. I think we would have 1 or 2 stokes a night with fresh piece of wood to keep it hot, for the morning.

Though I have seen some rust pop up, probably not the best quality metals used. Make sure to just oil it up before storage, clean it up well, remove any ash or other things that can get damp, then burn off all the oil before you take it back out.

Definitely worth the price. Will it last 10 years... Maybe.

I like the water box too you can get for the side.

Yes the quality around the door, and draft are a little lacking but fixable.

He’s going to add fire gasket around the door to fix that gap, plus we put wire around all four mount screws for the draft slide to help that in camp. But I think adding some washers would be the permanent fix for that.

The only other thing was it requires more stocking than larger stoves obviously.
