Can you use the stove to make small stick fires instead of using fuel cubes?

YES BUT YOU NEED TO create a hole in the ground twice the diameter and set your device inside with 6 inches peeking aboveground, this way the wood pieces can be more substantial and you doctor them with a longer stick to keep them in the middle

In theory I bet you could....in practice I feel that it would be very difficult. I have experience using small woodburning stoves so I can vouch for how handy they are. I think that the space in the fuel area is too small to accommodate the wood. I actually use the cup that came with this set up with my emberlit wood stove all the time with great success. Look them up if you want a great little wood burning stove.

Patrick, I believe so, the opening where you put the fuel will allow the sticks to come out if longer than the holding part, it might take longer to heat up the container, but I do not see any reason why it should not work. Best of luck

Never tried it but I am sure it could be done. I am not sure how much heat the three small feet can take, but they could be removed and the unit be placed on a flat rock or sand.

you could certainly try, but there isn't a lot of room to make a sustained fire with twigs & sticks

Use the bottom of an altoids can to hold the sticks. place it on top of fuel holder to keep the heat off the flemsy bottom

I actually just used my Griswold paddles without a base on my gas stove. I just turned the fire down until the results were what I was looking for.

There are pictures on internet with a wood stove in them but I use a Coleman infra red tent heater cheap to operate with no mess

Yes you can use it indoors. Of course you take your safety steps.....don't us it near paper or any item that could catch on fire. But most of all keep away from children and careless people. Make sure that the butane is connected properly so that gas doesn't build up to cause flareups. I use the stove all the time at my job. I do food demo's at a health food store indoors with no problem. I hope this helps answer your question. Good luck.

Def not, however when I was on the islands of Philippines I seen kerosine stoves that looked similar to the Coleman stoves. They must be available somewhere here in the states. Although I assume they wud be inefficient and smokey.

I have never used either stoves. I use a solo stove that uses twigs and works great. Sorry I can't help.

Im sure you could if you install some type of flue to take out what little smoke it produces. I always get a fire going first with thin strips of wood, and then insert 3 or 4 strips of wood into the stove and just keep adding from there when necessary. Just make sure you do it safely and have no combustible material around the stove. You would need to place close to a low window to get a draft going.

That depends on a number of factors such as air flow, wood density (hard/softwood), moisture content. But if you are looking at this as a source of tent or bunkie heating, forget it. The stovepipie is too narrow to get a good fire going without filling your shelter with smoke.

Not in the stove itself, the kit comes with a special stand to put fuel tablets on. The alcohol burning stove is seperate and can be removed.

I wouldn't recommend using any other fuel source unless directed on the stove!! I have a micro rocket and it uses only one fuel source and I don't use anything but what it's designed for!!

No! Never use a camp stove indoors. There is a risk of carbon monoxide poisoning.

Probably, yes. It is Ike a small cast iron skillet with a 2 foot handle. You can put it on any normal heat source. But on a stove it would not be very practical with the long handle. And to me part of the fun is using it with a camp fire.

Yes, you can, but I would not unless you had to. There are some safety issues, if you do have to use isopropyl alcohol do not fill the stove full is will spit and become more of a safety hazard. Fill no more than Half full. It will also produce more black suit. With most flare up issues it is due to filling the stove to full and the fluid expands, so instead of burning just the vapor. How the stove works is that heat of the initial flame, turns the liquid into a vapor, then just the vapor is burned. This has to happen for the stove to work correctly. This is also how you can get a very hot flame that burns for so long from such a small amount of fuel. Yes, you can, but I would not unless you had to.

Nancy I'm assuming you mean on a gas stove? If so than yes. I do this everyday. If you mean over something wood fired, like a camp fire, than I would be hesitant.

I think it would cause the wire grid at the bottom of the stove to overheat and bend. Even using wood as fuel causes some distortion of the grid.

I would not recommend any stove, including this one, be used inside a tent for warmth. There is a large flame generated.

Yes, you just need to make the woodstove hot enough for what you want to cook. A hot campfire is ok, but smoke might become a problem.
