Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Backpack Hunting Titanium Goat Cylinder stove review

Here is an update on the Ti-goat stove.

I replaced the lost springs. Got some from ACE hardware and cut them down to size even made an extra one just in case.



I tested out using sand from the river. Worked well to protect the ground from smoldering but hardly a winter solution as my hands froze digging out the stuff and even if I packed the camp trowel I would expect trouble.



The stove burned well but everything was wet the stove needed to boil off the trapped moisture in the wood before combustion so there was a longer period of cold before the thing got going with each fill. Also I miss having a place to dry the wood under a stove.



I hanged the pack up to dry it. Works better than just placing it on the ground after the weather breaks.



So far the stove has worked fairly well. I still prefer my small Kifaru stove as it seems to hold heat a little better and cooking on the rounded top even with the modified cook pot is challenging. On the positive side setting the stove up is getting easier with practice.
