Stöker Wood Burning Camping Stove – 18oz Flatpack Stainless Steel Wood Stove for Backpacking, Hiking & Outdoor Cooking – Portable, Folding Camping Essentials (Bead-Blasted)

This twig stove is great. I took it camping this weekend and instead of making a seriously overkill fire in the big fire pit at my spot I used this. It goes together so easily. It is very light, packs small and the whole thing - bag and all - fits in my hand and stashed in my small outer pack pocket. I did sand down the edges lightly since it was sharp the first time I assembled it. (120 grit sanding sponge did the trick.) It is strong too. I used my small Oigen cast iron pan to make myself a couple pieces of bacon as a test, my standard sized 12" cast iron pan to cook breakfast for two, and a percolator kettle to boil water. I collected a bunch of twigs and kindling and started the fire using a little bit of vasoline soaked cotton balls mix. I kept the stove fed with various sized twigs laying around the camp. I did not have to pack or split any wood at all which was nice. The stove/fire is small enough that I could set it on a big rock in the existing fire pit and not worry about fire risk in these woods. When I was done cooking the fire died out quickly and I was able to drown in with a 16 oz glass of water then wash the stove parts down with soap and water. It does keep its scorching/char a bit but it is part of the character. As a frequent camper in a wildfire vulnerable woods... This was an effective and sophisticated way to cook with fire that did not need a mini green propane tank or a bro-fire.

Überleben makes a variety of products. Most of what I purchased was for fire starting and all very high quality. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they sold fold up camping stoves, including this titanium version. I do have several backpacking stoves, but all of them use fuel canisters. This one is different because you can use twigs, leaves, and other combustible materials, which are typically available in campgrounds and trails. This stove not only folds up to almost nothing, it is easy to assemble and includes a grate for grilling. Although I haven’t grilled meat on it, this is actually possible. I have used it to boil water and for that it worked perfectly fine. It may not heat up as fast as a canister stove, so this is more of a “slow down and be in the moment” kind of experience. On that note, using this stove is more relaxing than a canister stove. You’re essentially making a little campfire to cook with and it is something that requires your attention to keep burning. It is more of an experience, which is a good thing when you’re in he outdoors. The package also includes a very nice waxed canvas bag for storage. When you’re done using it, the stove disassembles and packs flat into the bag. That all fits into a back pack, outer pocket, etc. with plenty of room for other essentials and gear. Overall, this is a nice alternative to fuel stoves and gives you a chance to slow down and enjoy the experience of making and using fire in the outdoors.

Lightweight and packable! Used it as a controlled fire for easy cleaning afterwards.Uberleben makes high quality products. I hope their kettle comes out again for sale to use the grill of this stove!

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 people This 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.

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.

Very light and durable!

So let's assume that you're going someplace where you're allowed to have a fire. Alcohol stoves, esbits, gas stoves, etc -- these are nice, ultralight stoves that work well if you're willing to invest in fuel and carry it with you. Good options if you know you won't find fuel and tinder in the field. Also potentially allowable during a burn ban. So there are advantages there. However, I *much* prefer a wood stove. Holy smokes, this thing gets hot FAST. You can cook a meal in two or three minutes, boil water in four to six. You just pack the thing with wood and tinder and light it up. It's pretty fuel-hungry. If you want to keep it going, you have to keep packing sticks in there. However, the way I use it, I tend to just pack it with sticks, light it up with a hexamine tablet, and by the time it's burned out its fuel I've done everything I need to do. So far I've boiled several liters of water and cooked a half-dozen meals on it. No complaints. And boy, it packs SMALL. I now consider it essential kit for camping and bugout purposes, I'll never go into the bush without it.

This product burns really well on twigs and larger branches fed in as it burns. Perfect for camping and emergencies.

最高にカッコいいです。地面からの高さがあともう少しあればいいなと思いますが、安定感があり使い勝手はいいです。ケースもとても気に入っています。

For 80Aud you pricks could finish off the edges

As soon as I received my Uberleben Stocker, I had to try my hand at assembling it. The unit comes without instructions, but the seller does send you a link to a YouTube assembly video after purchase. However it wasn't necessary. The craftsmanship is superb, and assembling the unit using simple logic is a breeze. I took this think to the cottage and tried it out. Quickly got a fire started using bark and twigs. The unit is very well ventilated helping combustion greatly, so much so that I found myself continually feeding it to keep the fire going. Soon enough, I saw myself running out of combustible material. The unit was sturdy enough to support a decent size kettle and bring the water to a boil quickly. Once finished using the unit, I decided to wipe it down to eliminate the soot buildup inside before storing in its very adequate storing bag. All in all, it does its job wonderfully. But I question the practicality of the unit. It is much more elegant than a fuel-canister burner, but requires extra care in cleaning and finding the material to keep it going. It packs down very small, but needs extra cooling time before packing back up. I love this unit, but I will still use fuel-canister burners for those snowy or express treks.

Very well made and very lite !
