Lightweight tipi tent stove
 
Does anybody know of any Canadian made lightweight packable tipi tent stoves like the Kifaru or Seek Outside stove setups? Appreciate any replies, cheers!

Lite outdoors, based out of Lethbridge. Brennen hooked me up with a great stove for my seek outside tipi.

Second the Lite Outdoors. Cheaper, lighter, and your supporting local!

X3 on Lite Outdoors - great product great service. I bought the 18” model for my SO BCS2 - should have bought the 12”. They kick a LOT of heat.

I was just gonna ask which tipi tents you guys were running and how you liked them? Haven't decided on SeekOutside Cimmaron, Kuiu Summit Refuge 3p, or Kifaru Tut 4.

Lite outdoors stoves are good the tigoat wifi is much better I have both. Brennan did make me a pretty sweet custom heat exchanger for ontop if the XL stove. It heats my 16 man Seek tipi up to +30c while outside temp sits at 0c that is with no liner with the liner it heats up much warmer but the liners take up quite a bit of room if it’s not below freezing or raining out I don’t set up the liner.

I have used the Cimarron but none of the others. I have found it to have plenty of room for 2 guys a stove and gear. Its lighter than the kifaru (at least its lighter than the sawtooth and i think the tut is heavier). I really like the space during the summer I dont find many bugs make their way under the sides but there is some. during the fall/winter when im using the stove I find that a bigger stove would be better. I have the med stove from sweek outside and I really like it although if you were to purchase a tarp tent I would go with a bigger stove. The advantage is that the longer it burns the longer youre going to sleep comfortably. I am up every 3 hours tossing wood in. Its not as big of a deal as I thought but it would be nice to have the warmth for another hour at least.

Another stove to consider is a M1950 yukon stove. The stove pipe fits inside when stored. The body is 10" x 24" x 8" h. A person can even get an extra burner for the stove that hooks up to a jerry can that allows a person to burn gasoline in the stove. Gives off 60,000 BTU.

Not sure which is heavier of the stoves already mentioned. The Yukon stove weighs around 20 lbs.

Might even want to check out tigoat tents,

I did a bunch of reaserch and went with the seek 16 man. One thing I thought would be nice but actually turned out to be the best part is having two doors. If and when your stove pumps out a tipi full of smoke it can be cleared out rather quickly. I can see it being a real pain with only one door.

Another vote for liteoutdoors. great stove.

Stove is for comfort, sleeping bag is for warmth. No stove will solve the problem, just get a better bag.

Ok well how do you dry stuff when you are in a 4 day rain / sleet, I experienced this is northern BC stove came in handy, and only 3 pounds extra to carry.

I hear ya, and have used one and loved it! Just saying the stove is not meant by any means to burn all night without some serious commitment by one or all involved.

I can get my XL lite outdoors with heat exchanger installed to burn and give off heat for 3.5 hours. At 3.5 hours if I add more wood it will fire up and burn about 3.5 hours. If you try push it to 4 hours the embers are to week to reignite the new timber and your finished. I usually burn pine as this is redilly available I would love to try birch. My small wifi stove can burn just about 2 hours.
