SXL Titanium Stove What is different or compelling ? Well, it uses lightweight sides (stove pipe weight) similar to a UTurn (discontinued) with standard stove material for the front/ top and bottom. It goes together very easily like a box and is pretty airtight like our box stoves. The lower profile makes it suitable for a LBO sized shelter, while the wider profile provides a large area to load wood similar to our XL stove. Since you can load larger wood, you can get a very even regulated burn. It also comes standard with an air intake control to further regulate the burn more than a damper alone.
Weight, the stove itself is less than 20 ounces. Burn and operation is similar to our XL stove, just a little less tall. IMO a great combo of burn control, easy assembly and weight. The one at the show had been burned hard, with a lot of water on it. With a strong fire, you can boil water in 5 minutes with a GSI kettle. Regulating the input and output and using larger wood, gives a capable burn of over an hour with coals lasting several hours.
The box style of lightweight sides, I prefer over a horizontal uturn style due to easy assembly and being more airtight around the top and bottom, since inconsistantcies in foil material are mitigated during construction. The seams also add strength and when coupled with the heavier material on the front make a stove that works very well. The only downside to the lighter material sides is mostly in potential damage when packed, which is easy to mitigate by sandwiching them between the top and bottom. I would not use large cast iron pans on it, but for use using standard backpacking gear, and heating water it works really really well .
At least that is my .02 and for me , it will be my go to stove for anything LBO to 8 man. For hard use in an 8 or 12 I will step up to an XL or XXL for basecamps. ]
