Fuel weight and cost is always a focus of ultralight backpackers discussion. This stove lets you get a zero carry weight for fuel. Use FREE fuel found around camp - wood !
The Vargo Hexagon backpacking wood stove folds to a slim compact size, requiring little space in your pack. Individual stainless steel panels are completely hinged and snap easily into place for quick set-up. Durable stainless steel construction, keeps costs down and is able to endure long term heat without damage. Steel is easier to stamp and cut than titanium - so fit and finish are a little better than the titanium model.
The conical shape focuses heat upward, directing it to your pot, for quick efficient cooking. A hinged access door can be opened or closed for air control, as well as re-fueling.
The Hexagon wood stove is small and designed for cooking single entree meals. We recommend cooking pots no larger than 1.5 liters for use with the stove.
Can also be used as a windscreen for the Triad XE or Decagon alcohol stoves to create a multifuel system.
