From the owners that have installed a stove jack, how is it working out for you? Is wind an issue with the stove pipe? Any advice? Thanks!!!

I would not install a stove jack on this. The side walls are not vertical. The canvas is not fireproofed. The main horizontal support runs the length of the top of the roof, blocking egress by the stove pipe. I use a BigBuddy propane heater with a 20 lb. tank, which works very well.

my gives off a smell as if you were turning on the stove top for cooking you may want to put in some fresh air as I do have a fresh air pipe right under my unit a 2" pipe, hope this helps you I have had my unit for some years

Did you ever receive an answer to your question about using an aebleskiver on a glass top electric stove? I have the same question. Thanks!

I have not had any problems using the stove outside. I would not use the yellow HEET indoors. To be on the safe side. I think it could be toxic to breathe the fumes so I would want a lot of ventilation.

That is dependent upon what your doing with it and whether you have additional protection from the wind. This cooker will absolutely get the cooking job done. It sounds like a jet engine and it performs like one. If you find fuel not lasting an appropriate amount of time consider establishing additional protection from environment conditions.

My stove is electric and i leave it on the other side while cooking. I dont see a problem with it. Also, its great to sit a hot pan on it. You can also use as a cutting board surface.

I do not have a commercial stove, but have a gas stove with high-power burners and have not had an issue. Obviously I keep the burner lit under the pan, not around it.

I bought the Chinese one linked above, worked great in home tests, clogged the first time I took it into the field. I can't rely on it one bit.I don't want to carry four stoves (re: Stan in St Louistan) into the backcountry. I want to carry one, that will work, period. Is it worth $25 to have a failed stove halfway into a through hike? At least if the MSR stove had quit working, I would have been able to get it replaced.

LP - Truthfully, I wouldn't for the simple fact that the material would end up melting. The only way I would install a stove jack on mine would be if I installed a metal roof. The reason we purchased the King Canopy was because the framing was 2" pipe...the only one we found in fact. We knew that the roof covering was not going to last more than 2 years and when it comes time to replace it, it will be with metal roofing because the frame could hold it. I know that's not what you want to hear, but unless you get heavy duty canvas or metal roofing to replace the original covering, I don't think a stove jack is a very good idea.

The majority of the posts are positive. However, a few fuss about "breakage" and/or the heating element dying out after a couple of uses.What model is yours? I am begining to comprehend the proper uses and the best recipes, but "model numbers" are not given with the posts.MML

Wondering... how quickly do you feel the water should come to a boil? Peeked this morning as was a little surprised to see some coffee had already appeared in the top portion eventhough there was not a full rolling boil going on below. Wondered if I had the stove setting a little too low. Thoughts?

The quick answer is I don't know. However, I would note there is apparently a small tray at the bottom (others have mentioned this). The basic problem I see with not installing the exhaust is where is the hot air supposed to go? You can, I have, have the pipe go out a homemade baffle. I did this since the one that came did not work in my window. Hope that helps.

I've used mine twice without a bit of smoke. How did you clean the unit. Spray 409 let it stand a while, spray again and let it stand awhile longer. Then take a wet Mr Clean kitchen sponge over the entire unit inside and out. Wipe dry for a brand new looking unit. I couldn't believe how clean the unit came using the 409/Mr Clean kitchen sponge. Smoke, there might be food touching the unit as it rotates which, I would like, would cause smoke. Make sure that no food touches the heating unit while the food is rotating.

Tomorrow my son n law will be using his Kettle as a smoker and be using some wood, not sure how all wood will work. Are you going to smoke or grill using wood?Question for you, what do you cover your Smoker with? I can not find a cover for this monster. Thanks Don

I really like the monster rounds , they sound great. Not to loud not to quite, The problem i had was with the Vance and Hines Dresser Duels header pipe . The cross under pipe which goes to the left side is about 1 inch to short where the muffler slips on. Contacted Vance and Hines tech support and got the run around , they did not want that the header pipe was to short going under the bike. but the mufflers are awesome . I would try a different header pipe next time. Do not know if baffles are changeable or not, they sound pretty good out of the box.

Not sure what you mean... mine goes up through the ceiling, a metal box thing to triple lined pipe on the outside. I used double stove pipe on the inside. But your best bet is to buy your stove pipe from someplace like Northline Express. They have the specs right on the site, or an 800 number to call. Much safer than taking a guess! Shipping is free after minimum, and VERY fast!

Mine was installed but, it doesn't whistle at all. I have to make sure that I don't forget that the stove is on.
