Unique Wood Stove Features:

• Removable stovetop for campfire and BBQ mode 
• Stove Baffle (heat output efficiency) 

The X-stove XL firebox has a flat top surface, for boiling water and cooking real food with a pot or pan. Additionally, the top can be removed for an open fire pit.

This wood stove features removable and extendable legs, for customizing to your needs. The sections can be unscrewed for fine-tuning the height.

The foldable carrying handles, not only let you carry the stove, but they also fold out to let you dry, warming or store things.

The whole stove system stores by opening the door and putting all the parts inside. This makes it packable by hand, backpack, overlanding or where ever your adventure takes you!

Flat Stove Top Cooking

Being able to put a heavier pot or pan on the firebox top flat surface, is one of the biggest features of this wood stove. One of the best camping luxuries is making real food when you are outdoors.

The flat wood stove top can be used to boil water, place a small frying pan or pot, and even dry bake your favorite treat. The top can be removed as a standalone fire pit campfire, to cook on an open flame or add a (not included) grill.

Wood Stove Glass Door with Vent

The door on the X-stove XL was designed so that large pieces of wood can enter the firebox chamber easily. It has a sturdy handle, which you turn to lock the door closed. The sliding door air intake vent helps controls the burn rate of the wood. 

Additionally, part of the door is made of fireplace glass. We find this to be an amazing feature. The glass allows you to not only watch your fire for tent entertainment, but to see when your fire needs more wood. This also provides an incandescent night light in your tent.

Burns Wood and Handles Coals Efficiently

Each X-stove XL Tent Wood Stove comes with removable fire grate for more efficient wood burning. The grates allow for more air to get under the fire, which allows the wood to burn more evenly and efficiently. These two optional pieces can be added or removed as you chose. 

Adjustable Legs and Handle/Dry Rack

The X-stove XL Wood Stove has removable and adjustable legs which make for easy storage and packing.  We find this very beneficial for those who want to store, or pack the stove into smaller places.

Additionally, this stove comes with strong foldable handles, which will double as a wood stove drying and warming rack. The racks can be used to store cooking accessories, dry wet wood or even keep food warm.

Nesting Stove Pipe (Flue) Sections

The stackable stainless chimney pipe comes in eight sections, May have a total height of over 11 feet. They are designed so that each section will fit inside the fire chamber of the stove for easy storage. Each stove pipe is tapered, to make it easy to attach male and female ends and securely fit the pieces together. 

The Damper is bent at a 90 degree elbow and is used to fine-tune the burn rate of the fire wood inside of the stove. 

The unique removable baffle design makes the flame wrap around inside the firebox, before exiting into the damper section of the chimney pipe, which maximizes the heat output.

Note: Stove must be Burnt-in for the first time outside or in empty shelter. Use in an enclosed space at your own risk. Manufactured in South Korea. Wear gloves to assemble and operate this stove.
