[QUOTE="Timber338, post: 1059122, member: 33822"] I've also got an Emberlit and it does burn very hot. But like you mentioned, you just have to feed it small bits of fuel very often. When you compare to a small fuel stove, the wood stove weighs just about the same. So you are saving up to about 10-12 ounces by not carrying the butane tank, and a bit of space. as you use the butane throughout the trip total weight savings goes down. So what I"m still trying to figure out is if it's worth it to save that bit of weight or have the convenience of an instant butane flame. Ounces add up to pounds so if the goal is ultralight, then the wood stove wins. But the flip side is when I'm out hunting, I want all of my energy and focus to go into hunting. If I have to spend bunch of energy searching for dry wood, then I just burned off the energy I would have used just carrying the butane tank. The other added perk of the butane is you can boil water under your vestibule (assuming you have great ventilation) and I would definitely not light a fire in a wood stove under the vestibule. So I'm obviously still undecided which way to go. I'll use the wood stove throughout the summer and see if I develop a routine that is easy enough to carry out while I'm hunting. [/QUOTE]
