Smokehouse I am seriously pondering the 4-dog UL T1 for canoe tripping due to it's light weight. How well/long does it hold a fire and without a seal on the front door can you still control it fairly well? Does your stove have the baffle and if so do you recommend it as well?
The 4-dog ul1 I have has no baffle. I had him add sleeves on both side of stove so if I wanted I could add my side shelf from Kni-co stove and the 2 gal water tank... The main reason I even bought the water tank was to help shield heat while I was in the hammock and give alittle hot water...But I agree with others... much better to put a pot on top... The ul1 with no baffle, pipe and spark arrestor weighs 10 lbs. I can get 4 hours burn time before I need to add wood... I normally use the bob saw to cut wood which is the best I've found... To me,,, this stove is the best of the best... I have alittle video of it I did while backpacking... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fMinWa6AHuQ
But I do like my kni-co stove also... normally I use the kni-co in my canvas Smokehouse outfitter,,, and ul1 in my sil Smokehouse...
I do alot of backpacking trips, but plan to use this on some canoe expedition trips this Winter, early Spring... Yes,,, I'm far enough south our rivers don't total freeze up most of the time.
