Best Wood Stove for Winter Camping by GStove!!

- I've tested a few titanium wood stoves for winter camping and none have been as durable as the GStove. Made of Stainless Steel, The Gstove provides plenty of heat for a small shelter as well as a place to cook food. The best part is that it's simple to setup without using any tools. This is the best portable wood stove I've tested to date.

After using a gstove for 3 years, I’ve found the stove works much better without the wire grill that goes in the bottom. The fire sits on the coals right on the bottom like a home version woodstove and you can fit more wood inside as well.
I have one, I installed it in my Pinzgauer. From what I’ve seen from using mine, you don’t need the dampener. The front control works just fine. Just a note of caution, if you burn a lot of pine or cedar, make sure you run it wide open. I had mine throttled back and by morning the creosote was so thick it almost blocked the pipe.
This stove looks great and I think it would fit in my fireplace for more efficient heating when the power goes out in winter.
Putting an airtight wood stove, and running the stove chimney up the flue is a great way to have heat, an airtight woodstove to replace the inefficient fireplace.
Finally a video I can
UNDERSTAND
what the presenter is saying.
Thank you!
Good job.
They are awesome little stoves. A friend of mine just recently picked one up and I can't wait to see it in action.
Chad Morgan nice.
Now that is a sweet stove!! One of the things that is really handy is having a hot water tank. Nothing like having hot water on tap first thing in the morning. Excellent review man!
It has a oven option as well. Check TA outdoors
Luxe Hiking Gear, USA, Gstove Heat View, $347.00, $44.00 to ship. Excellent customer service. From Gstove, $343.00, $49.00 to ship. On backorder, should be available Dec. 2018 from both. Prices may have changed since I (just) looked. Mine is coming from Luxe Hiking Gear, just in time for winter. Excited!!!
Rock on!
thanks thats what i needed i'm definatly buying one
Hi Ben,
I own one and love it, purchased the second cooking attachment for more cooking space and works great, plus increases the heat output. Highly recommended. I plan to get the oven attachment when available in Canada.
Happy winter hot tent camping,
Al from Calgary Canada
Thanks so much for the comments.
HI Albert is it the one that you would recommend? I've been watching so many videos that I'm confused. Thanks
I've got my G-Stove since 14 months now - and I regret no single cent. It's that solid, that brilliant, that clever made - it's impossible to not love this stove. I've ordered the fully package, incl. water boiler and the excellent working chimney - oven. It all fits all in the bag and a 12" pan, a 2pint pot and some firewood for the first 2-3 hours also fits in.
That's the ultimate winter-bag.
Good to know. I just ordered one and look forward to using!
does the water boiler fits inside it with all the chimney pipe and spark arrestor piece??
How much did you pay for everything? :)
@@229Reaper No, the boiler does not fit inside the oven. Just the chimneys and the ash-Scraper. But it all (and a lot more *) fits inside the additional G-Stove bag.
(* inside this bag I've got my G-Stove, the 3l water boiler, the chimney-oven (very nice item!!) the tent protecting chimney tube, two 45 degree angled chimney parts, a a 1qt Aluminium "Boyscout-Pot" (that fits inside the chimney-oven!) a 3Qt Dutch Oven and a 16" Wok with flat bottom, a Hatchet, medium sized folding saw, a big sheet of fire resistant silicone (bottom sheet), Kindling, Firestartet-tool, and even some firewood for the first 2-3 hours. That makes a heavy bag, but it's okay to lift it a few meters, eg. from the car to the sled or from the sled to the tent...)
@@carolingerzabek3725 I ordered a big package with a lot of additional parts (Boiler, Chimney Oven and so on...up to a replacement window glass and replacement leg-bolts), paid around 800 Euros for everything (incl Shipping) and even after about 2 Years I don't regret a single Cent!!
We never use no fancy fire sticks. Always made our own with sawdust and parrafin or candle wax mixed and melted into old plastic shotgun shells. Worked great on the river on a rainy day when canoeing.
It appears to be a solid stove option and the price reflects it. Hopefully the longevity is there and I could see this being very useful to folks that winter camp a bunch.
Great demonstration and talk through, and a well designed lovely stove.
Thanks for the review Ben, one of these days when I can save up enough cash to do "Hot Tenting", this sounds like a great choice. Choosing a Tipi and stove through the myriad of brands is daunting.
I've been waiting a long time for a substitute for the seek outside version this looks really good I may have to use this where space permits once I get a skidoo im bringing the kitchen sink thanks bro great review
had a look at that stove...pretty cool....but I'm not a fan of needing space on 3 sides so you can access the water heater and the oven.....I kinda like that the oven is on the stove pipe for this one in Ben's video...
I "had" the seek outside stove and it was lite weight….BUT very scary when it burned because it was not nearly as robust (stable) as this Gstove.
A guy can also get one of those little heat activated fans, and set it on the raised area to distribute the heat 👍
The G Stove is the bomb! They are the best camp stove ever.
Great video Thanks, I have a suggestion, on all these vids I see everybody stuffing in split wood, for a long burn try a good size round thick chunk of wood ie log
This has to be, so far, the best fire stove for camping ive seen...makes me want one real bad
Looks good. Ill lug around the extra weight vs. ti. If i was in a colder climate (im in south texas doesn't get too cold here. Snows every 8 years or so) i would consider this stove. Great vid Ben.
Thank you man ! your video really helps me to choose a wood stove ! Unfortunatly in France it's hard to find one, but i'll get one !
Nice can't wait to buy one thank you.
Great stove, great quality. The only downside which is a big fail is that it has not level side shelves and for cooking that is a must have. Sadly I´ll have to go with Winnerwell stoves, which are good, but not as good as GStove!
I LOVE THIS! I am looking for an emergency heat sources/cooking for my home as the fireplace let’s all the heat out the chimney. I rigged myself up a faux Texas Fireframe and it does work but cooking won’t be that easy. W/ this, I have versatility. I can use it in the basement to keep the pipes from freezing if there is a power outage and still use the fireplace etc or just pop this in the fireplace w/ pipe up the chimney.
Thank you for a great video! 👍
Thanks for watching.
Lol why not just get a proper wood stove installation…AS your emergency heating/cooking option?
it's like $150 USD cheaper to get it from norway than to get it from the states, including shipping (I'm in Canada)...just makes no sense...the stove is $90 cheaper, and the shipping is $55 cheaper from norway...lol
Randy Yeager yeah I agree. I saw this on another channel 2 months ago. I really want one.
to get it to Canada...from the website brother
Randy Yeager thanks for the info man!
Where do buy the USD stove ADDRESS PLEASE.
Randy Yeager I can only find it for $400 on sale is the cheapest????
I have a Four Dog Night Stove. It's built like a tank, comes with collapsible stove pipe, a shelf, and a water tank if 1 orders it. I think mine weighs about 60 pounds, but it will last me the rest of my life AND perhaps my sons as well! It does what is claimed. Heats a 16 x 24 wall tent easily in subzero temperatures.
I've heard good things about those stoves.
Same here but 4 dog night stove is much heavier
It looks AMAZING. Thanks Ben!
Sold out? That makes it hard to buy. I hope they are able to ramp up production. Seems like it’s pretty popular.
Excellent review, thanks!!
Very nice little stove. 👌
No Brasil não vende deste modelo infelizmente ... Very good
Love it. Great video Bro.
If u like the Gstove or camping videos than you should go follow TAoutdoors, they built a cabin out of old shipping pallets and have the gstove in the cabin.
dude, that stove is badass. thanx👍🏻
If you want to boil water buy the water tank that goes on the elevated part of the stove
They should make something you can clip on and off to the base of the chimney to heat up water, make use of all the available heat, or perhaps something you can clip on or screw on or off to the back.
hey Kyle I want one of these at my house just for power outages and Ice storms just took the exhaust out the window and heat my room
I wish they would offer those stoves with adjustable build in deflector panel to aid in secondary combustion
Just make one yourself and save big money...all you can use is stainless steel beer keg, 70mm stainless pipe from exhaust shop, done deal get the keg plasma or laser cut etc for a precise cut for the door and flue...all done for 100au
Thank you. Very thorough and helpful presentation.
I'm just amazed at how good some of these stoves are in particular features, yet lack other key details/design features to make them perfect. How hard can it be to design a near perfect camp stove? The human race has been cooking and using stoves forever, yet we still struggle to produce a single stove built to perfection. How many people find themselves admiring other brands and their stove features because this stove doesn't have everything they would want per it's size? It's not just G-stove lacking; it's every manufacturer out there pumping out stoves. Mind boggling! Even some of the best stove designs from Bereg and Work Tuff have serious flaws or design/workmanship issues when you really analyze. And those are not cheap models! You wonder why we are a throw away society? ..because manufacturers keep producing mediocre products. Corporate greed alone is reason we are destroying our planet and depleting our resources. Period! Nothing is built to last. Nothing is designed correctly. No one cares about the work they do. Companies do not care about their legacy. Their is no pride in the work we do. Warranties mean nothing. Keep buying and wasting your money on garbage products. This is what we are teaching future generations.
G stove actually has a water boiler that camps on to the pipe.
Meanwhile they have 2 different water boilers:
- a 3 liter that can sit on the lifted back part of the G-Stove
- a 5 liter that can be mounted as a section of the chimney,
Both are stainless steel and have a stainless stopcock.
I own the 3l Model and I really love the fact that I can easily remove it, when the water boils.
With the chimney-boiler I'd certainly steam a lot of water and have a lot of moisture inside the tent.
Gonna have one of these, but $680 for the package I want is going to take some saving!
Great looking stove. Thank you for showing it to us.
Great video. Look into the teakettle-we adore ours.
I just subbed, really good vid well done, I am stuck on Russian bear stoves, but look forward to viewing more of your vids
Thanks a ton. I have a stove playlist.
thanks for the video i just ordered one after watching this.Ordered a spark arretor and the flu pipe damper control.I will use this stove in my ARB awning room on the jeep,i will sew a stove jack on one of the wall tent.I would like to use it in my tipi but that thing wont be easy to backpack so ill use my DIY titanium stove.
Sounds like a good plan.
Your review is very thorough and professional. Excellent job, thanks a lot. I will definitily buy one this season.
This stove. I like alot
Love my G stove. Im looking into a Luxe teepee .
The G Stove is way too small for very cold climates like here in Quebec Canada. You have to constantly fill it with wood.
I sold my G Stove only after 1 season and bought the Boreal Outdoor Innovations Woodlands X-Large stove. It's more money than the G Stove but it is so much bigger and draws much better because they use 5 inch pipes. And it's made in Canada
I'm hoping to win one from G Stove this month! Thanks for broadcast!
IMO, the best winter camping stove would have a secondary burn chamber so it would be more efficient.
ben, that is a great looking stove, great review. Is there a living survival discount being given?
I've been thinking about hot tent camping a lot lately. But the wife and kids want nothing to do with it. Lol.
Great stove but damper should not be optional
Clifford Wright yeah but it's only 30 bucks more on there website
agree with that,have to pay 42 CAD for it.
I'm sure you can get a damper cheap at the hardware store.
Very nice. Wouldn't pay the price though. Have a homemade stove ,been using for decades now. Probably wont wear out in my life time. Great review though.
Iv been looking for a hot tint shelter stove for a couple years&finely seen the Gstove&all the accessories got the XL for my Luxe Megahorn lll teepee & the 15” for my bug out truck bed camper
Enjoy!
Damn man you used a full fire stick !
Love this review, I dont have any plans for winter tenting but I am starting to like the idea of it
It’s what happens when you have a ton of them.
Seen the stove on a few other channels...I love it...and with the add-ons you can get for it, (the oven and the hot water tank...it's super versatile...would be great for a 10 x 10 cabin in the woods...the price doesn't even bother me...and I'm stupid cheap...
Randy Yeager 2 is how
What about a 15x30 cabin?
How cold was it outside when you're mid level temperature was 92? Thanks for posting.
looks really good except it has no gasket around the door. But i guess that can be added pretty easy.
Also the vent in the door looks really loose and flimsy.
But still it is one of the better stoves i have seen so i will probably buy it.
I found out about the non gasket and had to order one and make it myself. I was getting smoked in my sleeping area
Nice video, really enjoyed it. We put up a review of this stove also. Its a stunning little thing isnt it!
Nicely done. Very informative; its on my list to consider.
Thanks
Awesome video
Sweet
Nice one Ben. Lots of good info.
That’s a bad ass stove
The new titanium stove Luxe is selling looks pretty tempting as well but I want both . I've currently a Kni-co Alaskan .
Kni co makes a good stove.
New to your channel and what an excellent review! I can’t wait to view more of your videos. Ty vm.
thanks for watching Roger.
Really nice unit. Not cheap. $400+-
the good ones aren't cheap.
Curious if you suggest this in a newer model - this one is not available any longer - thanks for great video
Check out Winnerwell stones.
Add the damper and the companies accessories for oven and hot water and that stove is a cooking machine for its size.
Awesome stove, thanks for sharing.
Forgot water tank for hot water
Sold out
Cool video thank you
I think I've seen your reviews for Gstove, Winnerwall Nomad, and Seek Outside Titanium. I know Titanium is a lot lighter, but I do a lot of canoe tripping, so weight is not as much of an issue. Main stove use would be as a cooktop. The Nomad looks easier to cook on because it has a totally flat surface. Do you have a preference? Thanks.
Winnerwell
Try Homed, GStove is outstanding, predictably from 🇳🇴
Made in Norway I believe
Where can you get these in the US? The link he gives has been sold out for months. If you order directly from Norway, you're gonna be waiting at least until April or May for delivery.
Thanks for sharing. The cost plz?
How is this stove compared to the one from Tentipi, for a Safir 9 tent? It have enough capacity to warm the inside space, it's strong, durable enough to last for years, or longer? how about the price and weight?! Please!
Door with a jeep hinge, how cool is that?
Great review dude thatnks..
Great intell. Just subscribed. Godspeed!!!
Thanks!
298 from norway 442 from the US. Gee I wonder why everyone buys cheap stuff from overseas?
Excellent video! Thank you for this! Question is this stove good and safe to put in a RV Cargo Trailer? I realize a tent is different. Also on the door can you get a insulation cord to put around on the inside of the door for sealing? This is a great product and I would get one for sure! Thank you again! Ross The Santa Fe Man
Ross Clay I’ve noticed this stove doesn’t get as hot as titanium or larger steel stoves. If the area is fairly small it would work for that.
I don't need for mine. It seals excellent just like it is. 👍
Can you please tell me, for a tentipi 7 safir tent, which Gstove is more suitable, the XL version or the small one? Do i need to by additional pipes in order to make the pipes reach the roof of the tent? Or is just perfect for the tentipi 7 safir even with the small stove and the pipes it came in the package?! Thank you!
This is a good start, but to be fuel efficient it needs several modifications which are integral to air-tight Scandinavian stoves, developed over centuries to maximize heating and minimize fuel consumption. Smoke shelf, intake air pre-heating plate and door gasketing will make a very noticeable difference as will the chimney damper which you note as needed. And your fire will be much better if you lose that grate and let your fire burn on an insulating layer of ashes.
Ben, so I am curious now. I have a gstove and I love it. I was also looking at the Winnerwell Medium Nomad stove as well. Since you already did a review on the Winnerwell Medium Nomad stove, what made you decide on the gstove as the best stove you have tested so far? I know that the Nomad has more cooking space on top, seems to have a larger firebox area, and has the ability to remove the top plate for direct fire to pan access. I'm just curious why you like to gstove more?
Both great stoves and actually I think I got the Winnerwell after this video and use it now.
I really like my GE stove but I find that I have to keep the door closed and close it quickly because it tends to really pour smoke back into my trailer I’m not sure if the stove pipe is just too Narrow to properly vent but the venting has been an issue for me.
Just like a normal fireplace you sometimes have to stoke the flu. Start with small twigs and work your way up. As soon as the heat builds up the draw will get stronger.
Hi Ben! Thank you for the informative video, I really want this stove. Love the ekstra features as well... the baking oven, and water tank. Do you think this will fit the NorTent Lavvo 6 as well?
I would contact them and find out for sure.
How well does it heat at -30 degrees and for how long ?
Has it got the air tight rope around the door?
Solid Review!!!😀
To get an idea of the sturdiness, what's the approximate gauge or mm thickness of the door/ stove?
How about the weight (not the pipes, just the main stove)?
Thanks so much,
Rodney
Great looking stove. I can't seem to find the link for the wax wood fire starter. Can you provide the link please? Thanks
Procamptek.com
For the price Id go with the SilverFire tent dragon@45 lbs also...
If 75 lbs is not too much the Orland tent stove , both of which after using would make this stove seem like an expensive insufficient toy.
One solid stove and review. I like you can put wood on the top of the grate and below it. Those wax wood sticks work well. How you liking the Luxe tipi? I saw the review. 92 nice.
