Colorado Spruce vs. Camp Chef Alpine Tent Stoves

Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль

The Colorado Cylinder Spruce Stove is a great stove. How does it compare to the Alpine by Camp Chef? It's very similar but has some unique differences. The Spruce has some quality advantages the first being the stove pipe. It fits together more nicely. I had to take plyers and taper the "already tapered" end on the Alpine. But the Alpine does come with two shelves instead of just one. The damper is also superior on the Alpine as it actually holds in place for me, unlike the Spruce. The Spruce does have more vents and a nicer log grate. Bottom line - both heat up the tent just fine and do a very good job. The Spruce is literally twice as expensive as the Alpine though so it may price itself out of people's budget when they are already forking over a decent amount of dough for a stove-ready tent.

    The Camp Chef does have a water tank just so you all know!! also, a slight upgrade to the Camp Chef is to put a gasket around the door to make it more airtight and last longer through the night🙂 One thing about the camp Chef is with the longer chimney you get a better draft, and no smoke enters the room when you open the door 🙂 Very heavy duty and a lot cheaper 🙂

    Nice review. As for the difference in the legs, it would be quite easy to drill and tap the Spruce for wing nugs. Also, it wouldn't hurt to put some Never-Seize on the threads. It would be nice if the wingnuts were similar to wood clamps where a rod can slide back and forth allowing more leverage and therefore not requiring pliars etc. I am still lusting a Kodiak tent.

    Id like to see a video comparing the cheaper Vevor stove like these. It seems to be a step above the other ultra cheap alternatives as it weighs 50 something pounds vs the other cheaper ones that are only around 20 pounds according to product specifications so I assume the others are very thin metal. That spruce and camp chef are great but more pricey

    They are designed to heat up an enclosed tent or small home. However is the wind was not bad and not to cold, it would beat an open Bonfire And be much safer. kind of an open question because you don't say what state you're in or what altitude what the temperatures are you're going to be facing so what the winds are like all those are major factors if you enclose the area you know you have it on a patio if you close your area for some tarp or you know louvers or something then it would it would help a lot. I love an open fire but these things I like him because you can cook on them you can bake you can cook inside of them cook on top of them you can get an oven to go on top of it and be baking pizza or cakes or cookie or bread or whatever. I sold these in 1999 Y2K I sold more stoves and ovens than anybody in the country except for Cabela's catalog. We heated with it for two Winters and Kansas and I've heated with it and two Winters here in Missouri so I know them inside and out. I'm just now getting back into selling stoves like this and one of them talking a couple of the manufacturers about them I want to deal with the best one that's probably going to be Cedar City cylinder stoves cuz of the original designer manufacturer and inventor everybody else just stealing them from them Colorado Cylinder Stoves understand are just knock offs, stealing the design from them you know... The fact that this guy burned off and I'm not knocking him he's learning as he's going just like everybody else would but I can't believe that they sold galvanized pipe you can see that that pipe changing color that's galvanized pipe it's poisonous gases it puts off and I think even cylinder stoves is doing that now very disgusting there's some stainless steel pipe and only stainless steel pipe with these things or black pipe that's the only two options should not be in the mix at all ever.

    I made a sleeve at work for my Camp Chef stove to accept the Awesome 5x6 colorado nesting stove pipe. Fits like a glove now. Made sleeve O.D 4.99 I.D. 4.875 x 1.5 long. Used Dremel sanding wheel to get what I want. Tapped sleeve down with rubber mallet to stop at the 4 stop points in the stove sleeve. It sticks up 1/2 '' past stove top but looks great. Colorado stove pipe goes down 1.5 just to bottom of original camp chef stove hole ring. Very happy. Put 2 coats of high temp paint As well before inserting my sleeve.

    Thank you for your question! The burn time of the stove can vary based on several factors, such as the type of fuel used, the size of the fuel load, and the intensity of the burn. With a full load of wood: You can typically expect a burn time ranging from 3 to 5 hours on average, assuming you’re using standard hardwoods like oak or maple. For a more controlled burn: You might extend this to around 7 hours if you carefully manage the airflow and use dense, slow-burning wood. For a hotter, more intense burn: The burn time might decrease to around 2-3 hours if the stove is fully open and burning rapidly.
