Seek Outside ULTRALIGHT titanium stove / Is this the stove for you? 5 year review 

How gear review videos should be done - after extensive use, not after one trip because someone provided it for free.

That, sir, was a damn fine, intelligent and thorough review! There are RU-vid channels with hundreds of thousands and even over a million subscribers that could take lessons. I hope they do not, because I'd rather see enthusiastic, personably humble and naturally talented individuals garner a larger portion of the audience, views, positive comments and whatever income might be derived from RU-vid if that is their interest. Your honesty and, to repeat myself, thoroughness are refreshing. I especially appreciate how you stacked the components of the stove system onto the digital scale in a logical order. So many, especially marketing type people and their shills, misrepresent gear weight by emphasizing the "stove" weight alone when, if it is to be of any practical use, it the "system" we must carry. Age, illness, injury and a prolonged period of idleness associated with the latter two elements have me reevaluating my gear and abilities, not to mention my tolerance for misery 😂in the wild. In fact, I encountered your channel specifically because I am in the process of deciding if I want to be a "gram weenie" in the near future. Your video has made it easier for me to decide to stay with a fast-fold stove for the convenience. I already own a "Woodswalker" that only weighs 5 pounds (on my old kitchen spring scale) in its minimal, necessary configuration of stove and pipe assembly complete with spark arrestor and guy-lines. I enjoy the ambiance of firelight through the two glass panels. Add the carry bag and I'm probably close to two pounds over your Seek stove with the added glass door. So, I'll look at a few other brands and models to determine if I can perhaps pare off a pound or more while staying with about the same firebox capacity and folding convenience. However, I won't leave here without saying thank you, for the fine honest evaluation of the Seek Outside product.

I bet you’d be a great guy to have a beer with around a campfire. Thanks for another helpful video!

I propose that this might could be the greatest product review ever recorded ever!? In the world AF. Lol.

Great review of this stove. Very thorough and answers all the questions a real outdoorsman would have about it. Well done. I wish winter would never leave NH.

Did you see the new glass door they've added as an option? I literally JUST MADE ONE, that I ordered from a thermal glass place, and added my own wire 'handle" and the next day, Seek Outside advertised their new GLASS DOOR! %$^^%$. Great video by the way. Thanks.

Top tips..great breakdown..very informative. I like !

Excellent review. Thanks. And rather budget friendly to many other competitors.

Nice man. I have a similar tent and stove set up from a company called Kifaru. It makes winter camping nice and cozy.

Excellent share

Wicked and informative long term review!

Now that is a great review. Well done sir.

Thank you for an awesome, detailed, gear review with plenty of experience with the product.

Thanks for your review. Made me more confident about spending the hefty price tag on one as a back country idaho bow hunter and moto camper. It really does seem like exactly what I need, light weight and warm. I can deal with the other little hassles considering it will be predominantly used several miles into the mountains. Doesn't need to be pretty, just needs to work and be light.

Looked like you have a good buddy along with you...thanks for the post. I gearing up for adventure riding. This stove is the ticket ....✌

I had mine for about 6 years myself. My old damper broke, the butterfly flap dislodged from the rod and I have the new one. It warped from my stupidity more than anything. There may be better out there but this was out long before the industry blew up. I’ve survived-2, -4, and -8F. I’ve been warm, cooked food and dried equipment. It speaks for itself.

Great review. Good to see you back out there

Love seek outside products! this was a very well thought out review. Thank you.

What a great review! I've had the Seek Outside medium stove for 12 years, and it's still going strong. Your comments exactly reflect my experience with it and the service I've had from Seek Outside. I will be watching your glass door install next.

Warping seems an obvious reality with any metal/fire combo (except cast iron). As long as it all fits together and functions good then the design is great! Nice seeing a 5 yr review! Thx!

Hey Justin, great video. I have the sxl stove and love it with my Redcliff. I too put a glass door on by watching one your videos. I also strap it, however I use a length of double sided Velcro. Works great. Thanks again for the great videos!

This is a fantastic review. I especially love all the “if… then this is not the stove for you.” I have a Winnerwell Nomad small that has been great (except I wish I’d gotten a bigger one). The nomad is great for hot tenting if I don’t have to walk too far or can pull it on a sled but I’ve been wanting to go further and have been looking at the titanium stoves. Nice to support a USA company too. Also really glad to see that yours has held up for 5 years and that window is a great addition to it. Hey the link for the glass door is actually to a sausage video.

Great review ty

This review is perfect and hits the nail right on the head. I've used my SO stove for a few years now and I'll admit I wasnt sold off the hop. Especially when you consider the USD to CAD exchange, its real pricey. But over time I've learned its quirks and how best to run it and its bullet proof. No regrets at all. I can also confirm their customer service is top notch. They've gone above and beyond everytime I've contacted them. They've also recently added a glass door to their website at a pretty decent cost. Ill be looking at that next.

I really enjoyed this video!

Sweet stove!

I love my seek outside stove🔥🔥 i also own a Kifaru stove and it’s great also. Buy quality

Nice review. I have the same stove, minus your glass door adaptation, and really love it. As an aging individual (almost 71) the light weight is well worth the fiddling you do to put it all together. Hope you continue to use it in good health for years to come. Take care and until next time...be well.

Sir, would you please share with me on where and how you got the glass door?

Lets play a game. Take a shot every time you hear "this isn’t the stove for you". Great review, especially to everyone else who this stove IS for.

Great review.

Mine's 8×10.5×14, and I have only had it for a year and a half. I have only used it 4 times so far due to a busy schedule, part of which was spent hiking 5 months on the Appalachian Trail (4 actually hiking and one off to recover from severe plantar fasciitis). I only hiked 1,075 miles because I slipped in the mud, overcompessing my left knee and tearing the meniscus in two places, so, no 2023 thruhike for me! I plan on attempting another thruhike in 2025, if I heal up enough (I'm 70 now, so who knows). I will be getting out this winter for sure, even if it's just a drive up and short hike in. Steak and beer will definitely be on the menu. Thanks for your channel. It helps me get the feel of being out there when I can't. Tinker, AT halfway, 2023.

Nice review.

New Brunswick Canada 🇨🇦 🤔🤠

Great stove agreed and I seriously considered this stove but….. the price and exchange on my Canadian dollars scared me away lol. Happy with my choice ultimately. Nice review👍

Good Tip on using the buckle strap. I had an old seek outside tent stove but it was too small and I sold it. Do you think you can get an extended burn using hardwood?

Hey, do you take the dog camping with this? I have an Argali Rincon 2p and thinking of putting a stove in, just wandering if the dog is okay around it in a confined space.

Would you recommend rolled or nested stove pipe?

Seems like a neat design. The only thing that seems off is the price even if it is lightweight, considering it contains about $120 worth of titanium that you could buy online and maybe a couple dollars worth of hardware. Factor in some labor and machining to cut and fold the pieces, it seems like $200-250 would be do-able (and that's not factoring buying your materials in bulk). Am I missing something?

Great, honest review. The only thing this review is missing is a flask of bourbon.

why not just put the legs through the bottom then slap the sides on and then the top on?
