5 Reasons to Get a Four Dog Steel Stove:
1. MORE EFFICIENT HEAT: True airtight door with a high temp gasket for a air tight seal makes for a superior stove! You also get a baffled fire box that makes the stove 20-30% more efficient then other stoves, by forcing flames to go around the baffle before exiting the firebox. This means more heat and comfort to you, and it keeps the heat in the fire box--not up the pipe!
All Four Dog stoves allow you to burn less wood, have more heat with less work
(Meaning: you have more time to relax and enjoy yourself on the trial).
2. SAFER: The airtight door allows complete control of your burn. Close the air intake, and the fire is out--no run away fires. Baffle makes the stove safer by forcing flame and sparks to go around the baffle instead of straight up the stove pipe. Reduces chances of hot sparks or embers getting sucked up the pipe causing a fire or burn holes in the tent.
3. GREAT FOR COOKING: The baffle creates a hot spot on top of stove for cooking or boiling water. Without the hot spot made by the baffle, most of the heat would go up the stove pipe, forcing the stove operator to run the stove much hotter--which results in burning more wood, making more work, overheating the tent and increasing cooking times.
4. DURABILITY : The Four Dog Steel Stove shell is 13 gauge steel, with reinforced top and door opening. Door is 10 gauge steel. This stove is meant to take heavy use for years to come, and is built "mule tough" through and through.

Have not used it yet, but looks very well made. I purchased the stove because of the construction, and the Handles & Firebox Baffle.

I originally had purchased a smaller cheaper stove from an online store.(Not a 4 dog,inc stove) The paint burned off and created horrible fumes, the stove was very smokey, and it never came close to heating my tent so my girlfriend and I were cold all night. I actually felt very sick the next day which cut our trip short.
I decided to buy the 4 dog sized stove for my 12 x 12 Cabelas Alaknak tent. This thing totally exceeded my expectations!!! I used it last weekend in MN. The wind was 25mph (at least) and around 5degrees outside.
I was only wearing a base layer in the tent and I often had to roll up my sleeves, pant legs, and open a few window flaps because it can really put out some heat.
In time I will learn how to better regulate the stove temperature by using the front air intake and stove pipe flue.
I feel great about supporting local craftsmen (seemed like great guys), actually getting the product quality they advertise and getting a good value for my money. I would have purchased the titanium version to reduce the pack weight if I could afford one, but the 4 dog really was the best option for me.
Looks like my cheap non-4 dog stove will have to go to metal recycling.
Lesson learned...
