LineslifeRocket Stove Windscreen, 9.8"-14.2" Adjustable Stainless Steel Camping Wood Stove Windshield Portable for Outdoor Cooking, Round Silver

I LOVE this wood stove! It seems pricey compared to the other camping stoves made of stainless steel or titanium, but it is not. Some of the decent stainless steel stoves cost about $30-35, but they are too flimsy and annoying to put together, in my opinion. For an extra $20 or so, this stove is much, much sturdier, and starting a fire, even on breezy/windy days, is pretty easy. Plus, you get a fire poker, gloves and a carrying bag. Also, it’s pretty easy to set up. I live semi-off grid, so, I don’t use this stove just for camping. I use it for simple things like boiling water and small food preparations, when I don’t want to get my rocket stove out or start a bigger fire. So, I guess if you’re looking for something really light for camping, then this may not be the best option because it weighs about 7 lbs. But I would take it for camping despite the weight because it so easy and safe to use. My rocket stove was my go-to wood stove, but I found it to be a pain to control the temperature without having to constantly watch over it, feeding sticks little by little. Otherwise, I would end up with burnt food and very sooty cookware. This oven, on the other hand, has a much larger burn chamber than a rocket stove. So, I can add much larger pieces of wood than the sticks with the rocket stove. Also, the diameter of the opening is much larger than the rocket stove. So the fire and heat are not concentrated in a small area in the middle. The heat is more evenly distributed throughout the surface of the pan. A few things that need improvement are the door and the pot supports. The door is not hinged. So, it cannot be closed. The pot supports get stuck after the first use, but it can be easily fixed by oiling the hinges. That’s pretty much it. Other than these two things, I absolutely love it. Oh, as far as the material goes, I don’t know if it’s cast iron...but it’s definitely not stainless steel covered with some another material. Maybe it’s carbon steel? I don’t know, but it is pretty sturdy. It’s a great buy, and worth every penny!

Impressed with the manufacturing, very well made-very solid, very sturdy, very robust. Doors work well, seal very well. Cast iron top is large enough for a 12 pan or dutch oven. Pictures are 12" pan and 10" dutch oven. Equally robust some heat retention will be good and designed in such a manner as to direct the heat outwardly when you're cooking. Cast grate is attached with screws. If they aren't stainless already I may replace them with stainless steel. I will use this while camping in my RV or for cooking on a cool night, or if the power is out or anytime a small meal is needed to be made outside. This a IDEAL for an emergency preparedness purchase if you need an efficient cooking devise.One of the reasons I bought this stove was because of the weight. Some of the others only weigh 10lbs. I think those would be less efficient and the materials not as robust.So... I did not buy this for back packing. You are not going 'back packing' with this, weighs way too much for that. Could you bring this along for a picnic? Sure, absolutely. Has a very nice bag to carry it in with two straps, and a Velcro sealed pouch for utensils.My scale says it weighs 17.5 lbs/7.94 kg. Imagine this oven and a dutch oven in a pack... nope. Now if your back packing with mules or pack horse ...maybe, but there are still better options. This is a stove made of steel, cast iron, stainless steel and refractory of some sort.

I have a portable cylinder shaped Rocket Stove and this Lineslife Rocket Stove Windscreen is perfect for cooking on windy days. This windscreen is size adjustable and sturdy. Glad that I found it on Amazon.

Easy to use

Don't understand the negative nellies. This is a small but very sturdily built oven. Just as described!

Make my morning coffee over the fire. Fun to look at, small enough to store as it comes apart. I don't cook over it, other than coffee, but it would be easy to do.

Yeah. I have to use it outside but it’s like having a mini wood burning stove that fits in a really nice tote bag! This is great for emergency heating up what won’t fit on the grill also. Can use coals, wood, leaves, etc. It really domes have a stone in the bottom to burn the wood and catch the ashes. And having the silver lift to hold let’s say a branch burning in place without worry is wonderful. Get something cause propane is too darn heavy to drag with you for every occasion! Besides the top is like a real burner on a gas stove so your pots/pans will sit perfectly without sliding off! Love this thing!

Bought this for my dad who is an avid camper. He seems to like it and we were all impressed by the weight and sturdiness. No the lightest but not so heavy its a burden. To me it falls in the area of being well built and will last rather than so light that you're not sure it will last.

It was so well made
