Default Great pocket stove...the Emberlit

Well fellows I looked around on the site and I didn't see a suitable sub forum, so I'll post this here. I have no idea if this little stove has been discussed before, but for those new to it, here goes. This is a stove designed by a U.S. outdoorsman and I think that his avatar is nwmanitou. Anyway, I am going into my second winter of use for this unit (Emberlit) and it is still a great piece. I am getting a small amount of heat warpage but nothing major, and it can be bent out if need be. Really, it's a non issue for functionality. As you can see it comes apart and takes virtually zero space in a pack. I actually carry it in a coat pocket sometimes. The real beauty of this stove beside the light weight and compactness, is its use of fuel. Find some dead twigs etc. and you are in business. This thing is efficient and it REALLY WORKS. It takes about 6-7 minutes to get water boiling but in the mean time after you get your fuel burning well you just have to feed the sticks in. You can get the Titanium ($80) which I have, or the stainless. I believe that the stainless at half price ($40) is still only around 11 oz's. Do not be fooled by the flimsy appearance. This is a serious unit that works well and packs away to nothing when finished. Google it and see for yourself.

The firebox does not warp and has neat attachments like the little grill.

Default chimney

Nice stoves guys but one big problem you have to do it outside your shelter where it is not very nice when the cold wind blows or it rains or snows.

12 ounces more weight to carry and you can have a chimney and be cozy inside cooking and eating.
