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.
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.
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
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!!!
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!
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.
@@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!!
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...
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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
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! 👍
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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...
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
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.
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.
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?
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?
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!
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.
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.
Aloha! I've looked at several mini-wood stoves and just chanced upon your review (MUCH appreciated , by the way!) with some good luck. I like the Cubic Minis but I'm not thrilled that they need to be loaded so often and that's because the 'fire box' is so small. With the GXL View, it appears they hold quite a load of wood in comparison. I have a tiny home of about 140 SqFt and my concerns are: 1. Are the Gstoves even suitable for use in a tiny home? 2. How long will the stove last between wood loads at a damped down setting and with a flue and an airflow controller? 3. I like the GXL View but I'm wondering if that might be too much stove for my tiny home. 4. It appears the stack pipes are not double walled, is that the case? 5. Are there through-roof penetration kits that you're aware of? 6. What is the diameter of the stack pipe? I can't seem to find it on their website. I hope to hear from you and Mahalo Nui Loa in advance for your time and consideration! Mahalo a Aloha 'oe ~ ~ ~
I saw a review by Nagualero (on youtube) who used it in his 18x18 studio. (6 meter x 6 meter) He had it exhaust outside thru another bigger stove/fireplace. I don't think it is double walled, but another guy built a protector so he can use it with his teepee, so it doesn't burn it. them. & this guy bought the sleeve to go around the parts that get hot. You have to order it separately. It fits around the chimney part. He showed it on this video.
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!
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
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
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 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.
Jay Cruz It’ll burn reliably for 2-3 hours, depending on the type of wood you’re using. My husband needs to relieve himself several times a night, so he just tosses another log or two on the fire before coming back to bed. I sleep like three dead, so the burn time (during the night) would be problematic if I were alone, but I’m not alone, so it works out fine. Blessings! 🙏🏻 Jesse.🌹
