Don't quote me on this, but I believe the outfitter is the sole reason for global warming. This steel behemoth could melt the sun. However, dampen it down and the kids and I got 10hrs of sleep without stoking the fire once. Opened the vents in the morning and it roared back to life like a drag strip on Friday night. It's honestly not too big and size/capacity has serious advantage for heat control. I've done titanium stoves and this isn't even comparable. If you're looking at these stoves then weight already isn't an issue. This is a solid choice and I'm glad I took the step up from the hunter stove.
