Unboxing the 3F UL Tribe tent wood stove!

 

So it took the help of another plus that "pool noodle" to get the stove pipe rolled up for the first time. It doesn't have any serious creases - no kinks. So I will leave it rolled up and put in the car and then burn it tomorrow when I farm sit.


So the stove pipe is six feet tall I'm estimating - luckily our place has very tall ceilings. 

I'll look that up.

says chimney is "about 2.2 meters." So over six feet.

So I figured that the stove pipe would be "wobbly" and so I ordered an accessory from another stove pipe that is similar - that is a "spark arrestor" with 3 rings on it to tie down the stove pipe.


 

So what's the diameter of this?

inner diameter is 63MM

 so 2.5 inches

Let's see if I can measure the diameter of this stove pipe. I'll have to take if off the stove.

I'll do that in a bit. And edit it back into the blog post. Yep it's just under 2.5 inches so should work!!

The stove is 16 inches I think - it's bigger than a lot of portable tent stoves.

yeah just under 16 inches

Just under 8 inches tall

 

So the "laser welding" all fit together very tightly - and seems very solid.

The door handle works quite well as does the vent.

And of course the nice flat surface is strong enough to hold a pot or pan for cooking.

I really like this round design as it seems more stable as a "box" is more wobbly.

Also they have good inserts for the stove to slide into each wall.

It weighed in at just under six pounds with the packing bag.

So they say 4 pounds - is that without the stove pipe?

Yeah that's the "furnace body."

Total storage weight :2460g (including storage bag) / 5.42lb

So I will put mesh screen on the bottom to allow the stainless steel to hold up longer as it's quite thin.


So that's how it stores back into the bag.

I am just very impressed by the design of this stove. Now we will see how it burns - tomorrow.

I will just put the stove in the car - so I don't have to try to put it back together again while at the farm. haha.
