http://tinyurl.com/ppx-titanium-rocket-stove
Key features :
Long life, lifetime
Reliable, work in all weathers ( and you will always find wood below treeline ;-)
Powerful can easily heat larger pot 2-3 liter
Lightweight, 350-500 grams
Foldable, rollable and easy to pack, less than 3 min to assemble
No trace left behind, low impact and safe to use in a dry forest
Drawbacks :
A cold TiRStove 2-3 times slower than a gas stove
( when warm it has equal power )
Soot pots
Comparison – what does the fox say ?
A gas stove + gas for 6 days has about the same weight as the TiRStove. The gas stove will heat water 2-3 times faster ( when cold ). Once the TiRStove is warm it has equal or maybe better boil time. A 300 gram gas tube will last < 2 hour which means you probably will run out of gas fast if you bring meals that need long time to cook and it if you boil lot’s of drinking water. Two hours charge time with a PPX would barely keep a gps and phone alive. Once you are out of gas the stove is dead weight.
The TiRStove even though it’s fast for a wood stove, you’ll need at least 20 min to prepare a meal (cold stove). It’s biggest advantage is it will always deliver ( below treeline ;-). If traveling fast is important I would prepare food once for the whole day ( eating two meals cold )
The TiRStove packed in a PPX and two ti-cups as protection
Let there be light – multitasking
You can easily boil drinking water and charge your equipment while fishing ( in a canoe or on the beach ). With the PPX you will have 10W of power enough to supply a very very strong flashlight/searchlight directly ( if you were too lazy to charge the batteries )
With the TiRStove combined with the PPX you’ll have “unlimited” power for light and to charge your gadgets ( why not boil drinking water at the same time :-)
TiRStove + PPX < 1Kg think about it…..
There is a lot of talk about how to start a fire…maybe it’s time to understand :
“how to make electricity”
