It's been a while since I've been on the Fire, so I apologize if this has been discussed before.
I'm looking to buy a new tent and stove. Probably going to go with the SO Silvertip and I am very interested in their Cub stove. This little stove seems too good to be true, but hopefully I'm wrong! Just curious if anyone has any experience with this particular stove and how well it worked for them.

can't help, but I already have a Silvertip w/ a stove jack (single occupancy with a stove) and the Cub is what I'm looking as well so will stay tuned

I guess I can comment on the Silvertip itself though It's a really solid shelter- it has a good wind shaving posture and a ton of tieouts if the weather calls for it. One thing I would highly recommend is putting guy lines on all the tieout points- this allows you to raise the peak and gives you a lot of additional space and better breathablility. You can always stake one side (or all) down to the ground if needed

I’m keeping my eye out for a new Ti stove, and the Cub looks like a really good one. Interested if anyone has experience.

I looked at that stove,but then started to figure how much you would have to cut the wood down to fit in 6x6x9 box.Although I Have a little bigger tent,I settled on the Kifaru medium sized stainless steel box stove. With either one though,those roll up stove pipes are a dickens to get rolled out to use and then just as hard to roll it back up.

I found the roll up stovepipe a pain in the azz the first time out. After it got burned in, it took on a memory, and nearly rolls itself.
What I did on the first burn was to flip the pipe after the bottom got a good blue color to it, and burn the other end. It sets a good memory all the way up that way.

I have an EdT Ti stove and once you roll it once or twice it’s very easy.

I have one, it is a bit of a pain to get the wood broken down small enough, but in a SO Silvertip it heats the shelter up quickly and the stove weighs right at 2lbs packed up with a 6ft stovepipe. I bought it to heat the shelter up in the morning and at night, it does that brilliantly. You only need small sticks that you can break down without any tools to get the shelter quite hot.

With the small Ti stoves, start them using small sticks. Once they burn through and you have a hot bed of coals, put in as large a piece of wood you can reasonably fit. Allow it to start burning then close the damper. You get a relatively long, slow burn that adds heat to the tent without getting too hot and it will last much longer than using smaller sticks.
