180 Tach stove. Anyone used it? (Read 7208 times)

	I've seen a few references to it here, but no actual user reports. I've used a MSR Whisperlight for 20 yrs, & 2 yrs ago switched to the jet boil. Now I'm thinking of trying wood. Would be used either solo or two people.

	Never noticed it before so no clue beyond: (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links) FWIW - Looks reasonable to me. Personally, I like the design, weight and price much better than a similar mentioned recently. It just makes more sense to a guy that once thought he splurged on a grate to bridge two rocks and never looked back. Fireplaces and rocks are normally provided where I go though. Funny thing is, that angle looks much like the triangle I often use to build a fire as well so thanks and good luck!

	DOH. I didn't notice that one. I like the open end - like a traditional cooking/warming fireplace.... I sometimes think air holes in the right places are a necessity people don't seem to readily realize anymore. Big brother would do steaks better much better from the looks of them. After a better look and I get the pan idea but the general term used - 'Emergency Stoves' - ?

	How many times have you had to re-work a firepit because some Newbie thought that a little breeze was bad for a fire and put so many rocks around the perimeter you were basically building a fire in a hole in the ground

	Well I circled it as part of my Christmas list in the Piragis catalog so we shall see if I get one. If so I will maybe go to the manafacture & get the 2 piece base for it. Still comes in under a pound & the two piece base is the same dimension as the dissassembled unit so the package is no larger. If I get one I will try & do a review.

	Hogan brought one to the 2012 Woodland Caribou Gathering. We used it for boiling water and for staying warm under a tarp. It was well made and retained its shape after some hot fires.

Hey, maybe I should order the folding ash pan now (Paragis doesn't carry them so it's not on the list) & then if Santa goes a different direction I will HAVE to buy the stove anyway!

	I've been reading this interesting thread and looking at these grills -- thinking I could put my Coleman Peak stove underneath them. That way I could enjoy the stability and space of the grill surface, and not worry about stuff falling off the Peak's little burner. Only problem, my Peak stove sits 6.5 inches tall, and I don't think the height of these grills is tall enough for my stove to fit underneath. prouboy

	It's the 21st century after all: (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links) Looks a little small for pizza though.

Beyond that is up to him. Well db seems you don't have much pull Thanks anyway I didn't get the stove for Christmas, but after the 1st Paragis had a 20% off sale so I couldn't resist. Got it yesterday. Quality looks good. Not much to it, but I was looking for something simple, so I guess that's good! Went together nice, seems dutch oven (not that I pack one) sturdy. I will probably order the two piece ash pan soon. Winter is in full force here so I won't be testing it for a while, but when I do I will post my impressions. Thanks for everyone's input!
