It's size is dictated by the length and width of the stove, which in turn decides how long the folding legs are. We might reinforce it a bit more and see if it can be turned into a table/stepstool. |

Can you show us the table you made? I’m always look in for more off-the-ground shelf space. I know most will have long tossed out their boxes, but if one wanted to it would not be too hard to shape one to fit by starting with a moving box and some tape. |

02/08/2022 02:49PM Yep, very good suggestion. I didn't save mine. However, I recently picked up this stove bag from a member on another site and it is exactly what I have been looking for. Big enough for the stove, reflectors, welding blanket, and a little table that I built. Good quality work because the guy also winter camps too. Woodstove Bag |

02/07/2022 08:22PM If you happen to get a new Kni-Co or other stove that comes in a box. - save the box. I have well over 100 nights camping and am still using my original box. I made a very simple Cordura cover for my box, and when it transporting my my stove I close it up and it makes a perfect small table. You won’t find a cheaper, lighter, more packable table anywhere. I usually set it by the head of my sleep set up and use it for all the stuff I might want to find at night, or as a stand for snacks or coffee while cooking. The box also can hold the 4-panel heat shield for behind the stove, a shield for underneath the stove , and one of the Snowtrekker hearths. The blue strap holds it all together and makes a convenient carrying handle. |
