If any of you are interested in a twig stove, right now the Solo Stove Lite is on sale for $59.49 with free shipping.

It is regularly $89, and they are knocking $20 off that price. Then, you enter the code SPRING15 for another 15% off.

yup works great and their pot is excellent as well.

I used one for 24 days and was very pleased at its efficiency. Not to tough to get twigs although after a few days of rain i really liked having some birch bark handy.

The other thing I would always have around is some wet fire chemical tinder. Super light always burns. Nothing more frustrating than getting half way through your boil and things start to peter out. Didn't happen often but when it did it was nice to slam a wet fire cube inside and get things rolling again.

You must be attentive to the little stove as it oft wants to be fed. Its not like you can fill it and forget it. A steady little stream of fuel is best. I didn't mind doing it as it boils water quick and frys fish just fine and dandy.

I will likely use it again this summer and thats speaks volumes from a guy who likes things hassle free and doesn't mind carrying a bunch of stuff........plus I have about 4 or 5 stoves that I could bring. Maybe I will bring a couple canisters and the solo as backup.

Looking forward to it. I always carry a ziplock in my pants and grab birchbark until I have enough for a few starts. Also, I bring some cotton balls and vaseline-that works every time.

Recently got a pocket rocket, and that will come along as well. Leaving behind my beloved dragonfly this year for the first time.
