Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Backpack Hunting What stove?

Hello all.
New here.

I am triggered of cold night under a tarp.
Like to buy myself a stove.
But, what maker/type to go for?

It will be used in a combination of a tarp/tipi for me and sometimes two, so the tarp size is about a Kifaru Megatarp/paratarp or Tut in size.

Thanks.

I have had good luck using Jetboils. They kind of sucker you into using their fuel and pots though. Nothing beats a MSR whisperlite international though.

Not enough info.

If you want a wood burner to heat the tipi then take a look at LiteOutdoors Titanium stoves

If you're referring to a stove to boil water for rehydrating freeze-dried, then I recommend an Optimus CRUX.

With an ultra light pot like this one.

And a Titanium cup like this one, which holds your Nalgene jug in the water bottle pocket of your pack.

I have never been able to convince myself that the extra weight of a Jetbpoil is worth it. But there are lots of people who disagree.

Hello.
Thanks for the reply.

Well, yes, it will be used to keep me warm, dry some boots, clothes and so.
Maybe also for some cooking, keep the coffee warm, fry some fish when I am fishing and so.

Thanks all.

Wood burner or alcohol stove (the ultra light hikers home made beer can stove and 16 oz of denatured alcohol will last forever!)

So far I am looking at the Lite outdoors, Ti Goat and Ed T`s stoves.
The idea of having a fire going is very tempting.
Doqn to qulity, any thing to look out for, or are these so close that it comes down to personal choice?

I think the best thing out there is the ti Goat Wifi stove. I have a great variety of other stoves, but the TiGoat wifi draws really well so it can consume wet wood. And it is super solid for cooking on top. And super lightweight (under 3 pounds anyway). On a recent hunting trip in Kodiak's alpine I had it running for 56 straight hours. The ash sort of self banked the fire and in the morning I would just put on more wood and blow on the coals to get it going again. Hard to beat. Patrick

And I'll add that there is nothing like a wood stove in a floor-less teepee. You can hunt in the rain and then dry out! There is nothing quite like hanging out by a glowing wood stove for moral either. And so much easier to cook on! Patrick

Thanks for the reply.
Great help.
Can I ask what shelter and stove/size you used?
What size will be "best" in a Mega tarp/Tut size shelter?
