I chose a medium-sized stove. So far, it has accompanied me on two trips and I am very satisfied. The stove works well as an alternative to a traditional campfire, providing great safety—even featuring an ash tray, and after use, there are almost no traces left. The large size allows the use of bigger pieces of wood, which extends the burning time per load. Assembling it is exceptionally fast, much more convenient than with stoves made from thin sheet metal. The only downside is the weight, which does make it unsuitable for longer hikes, but for a family camping trip, it’s excellent.
