Lite
Titan – Cooks for 2-4 people
Campfire
- Each of these stoves runs on all natural fuel (sticks, twigs, chunk wood) and features our signature 360° airflow technology.
- Durable double-wall construction
- Made of 304 stainless steel
- Our camp stoves are smokeless
- How?
- Rising hot air, and the absence of oxygen created by the combustion process, pulls air through the bottom vent holes. This air movement fuels the fire at its base while also providing a boost of preheated air through the vent holes at the top of the burn chamber.
- Vent holes near the top of the burn chamber allow preheated oxygen to fuel the flame resulting in a more complete combustion and a hotter fire with less smoke.
- More efficient burns make for faster boiling
- How?
- The cooking ring on top of the stove allows users to place pots and pans directly on the stove to cook. Great for survival situations, hiking, prepping, camping, backpacking, weekend trips or backyard get togethers. Each stove comes with a carry bag to simply store and pack away. To empty, simply let the fuel burn down, dump the ashes, and store away. Pair these stoves with accessories from solostove.com
- Available accessories include
- Tripods
- Fire strikers
- WindscreensLite – Cooks for 1-2 people
- Alcohol burners
- Pots
