überlebenStöker Wood Burning Stove - Stainless Steel Portable Wood Stove - 18oz Compact & Collapsible Flatpack Grill, Folding Stove for Camping - Survival Hiking Backpack Stove (Smokey Blue)

Took the Ueberleben out for a test drive for a 3-night backpacking camping trip over the New Year's holidays - performed like a charm.Setting up is super easy, takes 2 minutes with gloves (yes, it was very cold outside)Filling the chamber with twigs and lighting them easy as well.When placing a pot onto the top, just make sure you've pushed the cross beams in proper (we had a bit of a woobly pot the first few minutes until we realized the cross section was not inserted all the way) - if that is done, very sturdy (we had 4L of water in a 5L pot sitting on it)Cook time - well, really depends on what you are feeding the burner, but we managed to boil 4L of water in about 15minutes with plenty of twigs in 0 degree weather :)Cleaning the burner is super easy as well - just disassemble after it has cooled down - and easily fits back into it's caseI unfortunately did not have any pictures of it in action - my bad - will try to resubmitOverall - amazing piece of true survival gear - easy to use and care for, lightweight and get's the job done

The media could not be loaded. We used this once and I already am giving it a 5/5 score. Assembly is tricky, but anyone with reasonable problem solving skills (or access to YouTube) can figure it out: The first four pieces are straight forward but the fifth and final piece is a bit tricky.My fiancee and I live in an apartment complex and it's unfortunate we cannot grill on the property. Our next best option is grill at a park or pavement. This stove meets our need because, unlike a "normal" grill, it's so much more portable since it's designed for backpackers. Today we made some AMAZING yakitori skewers with this.I also want to add a personal note. Both my fiancee and I are struggling with mental health during gloomy Seattle winter. But being able to have a tiny fire, and cook delicious food it, it makes us forget our problems and brings us a bit of joy.I'm looking forward to using this more. Ski season is coming soon, and this will be a great tailgate grill at the parking lot after a ski day.

Built like a tank. The first time I put it together it was a bit 'fiddly' but once you get how it goes together it can be put together in under a minute.This thing is very sturdy. It supports a full size Zebra pot easily. It could support a dutch oven or a larger iron fry pan. No deflection, bending or warping when it has a pot on it.The design works well. It cranked up quickly and drafted up - I was boiling water with a quickness.It's actually easy to light with a ferro rod. The feed opening is plenty big enough and obviously the top.It comes apart and stores FLAT.It'll burn pretty much anything you find in the woods.Cons: Haven't found any yet. Saw the negative reviews and wondered if they have the same stove as me...Great stove. 100% recommend.

I bought this stove after seeing it on a YouTube video. That video said it was an American made product, but the box indicated it's made in China. Seventy dollars for this stove is a little costly but the quality is evident. The components are all a heavy gauge, and the stove assembles easily. The grill is also a heavy material and securely locks in place. The canvas bag also speaks quality and adds value to this stove.

The media could not be loaded. I used this for the first time about a year ago canping at Lake Tahoe. What really impressed me when I first unboxed it was just how flat it packs. You could probably slide the thing in any nook or cranny inside your pack and it'll fit no problem. The stainless steel is a bit on the heavier side though, but that's what you get for a bit of cost-saving. Setup is pretty straightforward, but for a couple caveats: the edges can be a bit sharp, especially when putting it together for the first time; and they may take a bit of force when fastening them together. If you have thin skin (in the literal sense), I'd put this together using some light working gloves.Starting the fire with a ferro rod and lint/toilet paper/wood shavings and keeping it going with some kindling and then larger branches for fuel was super-easy. With the amount of draft that this thing gets, it burns really hot to heat up water quickly or get your meal going, but with that comes a price: you're gonna need a lot of fuel if you're going to keep it lit for a long time. Sure to have plenty immediately available or ensure there's some nearby to forage in case you start running low.All things considered, this is a great primary stove for me, whether it's on a trail or a more prepared campsite, but I'd still keep a gas stove stove handy in case things are a bit too wet or there's nothing around to burn. I hope other buyers will enjoy it as much as I do!

Pros: Excellent construction, very sturdy, fits together tightly, easily holds a dutch oven, big skillet, or canteen cup, folds flat, good strong canvas bag to store it away. This is now my favorite stove. It took me a few minutes to peel off the protective covering and then figure out the most efficient way to put it together. Once it was set up I used it for 3 days; burning everything from pine cones, to pine needles, twigs, dried grass, and leaves. Without a doubt this will be with me on every trip into the boonies. It cooked my soup very fast and I could feel how well the stove directed most of the heat upward. It is also a great way to have a small safe fire for one or two peopleThis will be in my Earthquake kit when I am not out backpacking or camping. . In fact I am going to buy a second one to leave in my car.Cons: The first few times I took it apart after cooking a meal it was a little tight. Not a problem. Just used a piece of wood to pop the cross X pieces loose and the rest of the stove came apart simply No tools needed.I feel 100% with the purchase. In fact I feel delighted to have finally found such a functional stove for backpacking, camping, survival, earthquake kit and any other time I might want to have a personal fire outside.This weekend I intend to shoot a video of this excellent stove in action.
