I’ve often wished for an ultralight wood stove that I could use OUTSIDE my shelter. I already own several Kifaru wood stoves specially designed to burn INSIDE my shelters. However, having one I can assemble in a flash trailside was something missing in my pack. Enter the Emberlit-UL camp stove.

There are a number of lightweight woodburning stoves on the market. However, finding one that feeds from the side and folds completely flat was something I was looking for. Emberlit has a very innovative stove, and during a recent weekend of backcountry skiing and winter camping I was able to test my new stove.
The stove comes in five pieces, plus an optional support for smaller pots. It all fits in a small pouch, constructed of rubberized nylon.
The thing I really love about this stove is the ability to feed it from the side, making it possible to slide long sticks into it.
The stove is very strong. I’ve heard about folks putting a dutch oven full of water on top of one. I have the titanium model, but it’s still strong enough to support the same weight. My little Snow Peak Trek 700 pot full of snow didn’t weigh much!
Cool stove. I like the side door. It looks like a better design than the titanium Vargo. http://www.vargooutdoors.com/Hexagon-Backpacking-Wood-Stove
ReplyDeleteI just received a Vargo, and will be testing it this coming weekend.
ReplyDeleteGood one...I too like its side door concept. And the material used (titanium) ensures its durability...:)
ReplyDeleteAll in all a nice Camp Stove.

ReplyDeleteHi Paul, nice pictures and great review. The Emberlit looks like a great stove. If you have a min, come check out our stove at www.solostove.com. It features a secondary combustion which helps it burn cleaner. If you're interested in doing up a review on your site, send me an email at info@solostove.com.
ReplyDeleteLike the stove, good review too. Does it throw off a lot of warmth? I see there was snow around. Can you build a fire large enough within the confines of the stove to keep you warm?
ReplyDeleteIt does produce some radiant heat off the sides of the stove, but it's not what I would consider a heating appliance. Most of the heat is directed upwards. It's a cooker. It could be used to warm your hands in a pinch.
ReplyDeleteThis is very simple stove. I like stove. Can be carried easily. This is such a useful tool for writing. It helps me with my story writing. Thanks for sharing.
