Absolutely correct. I use it the same way. The diameter of the log should be about ¾ inch less than the diameter of the stove. The length should be below the gasification holes. The wood should be hard wood. When used in the Swedish fire torch method, I get a burn time of about 25 mins of fire and an additional 20 minutes of hot coal that can be used for grilling food. I never use pre cooked packet meals or MRE. I always cook food from scratch. Good demonstration. Subscribed to your channel. ATB, The_Solo_hiker.....
Thanks a bunch! And you're correct, it performs the best when you're not obstructing the gas flow. This is why I switched to the toaks stove initially; it's taller which allows for longer logs. In a pinch, it works as a normal firebox if the pieces are too tall, but you won't get the same kind of clean burn. It's a very versatile stove type, ime. On longer trips, I often pair it with a spirit burner (using the stove as pot stand and wind shield) in case the weather turns to poo, then I have a backup with a controllable flame I can use in the vestibule of the tent, or under the tarp in case I use my hammock. Cheers!

Nice thanks…Have fun stay safe.
You too!
Thanks, a very useful demo of two uses.
Glad it was helpful!
