Many people are put off by tent stoves because they are heavy and sooty rattle-boxes. If you're one of them but you'd like to have a warm tent in the outback, it's your lucky day! The manufacturer, Savotta, did a good copy on this item already, so we'll just blatantly copy it here. Just one thing:
Due to the manufacturer's concern of litigation risk, we can't ship these items to the US or Canada.
This stove represents the next generation of tent stoves and our vision for how stoves should be. The HAWU wood stove is efficient, light, durable, long-lasting, stylish, and modern. Note! The chimney must be purchased separately.
The spark for creating the Hawu WS-400 wood stove was the observation that none of the tent stoves available was very good at its intended purpose. Head designer Tommi Vahtera and his team accepted the challenge of creating a wood-burning stove that was lighter, more durable and efficient, cleaner, and superior to the existing solutions in terms of usability. For a long time, the design work mostly focused on optimizing the combustion process. The final appearance and materials were decided when operating requirements were considered.
Shape
The stove’s oval shape is easy to use, economical and energy-efficient. The stove has a large heat-emitting surface compared to its weight, which is less than one-third of the weight of a conventional Savotta tent stove. The oval shape also makes the structure stable. Thanks to its structure, the stove can withstand thermal expansion without twisting or denting, even when red-hot. The top and bottom of the stove are truncated to ensure sufficient clearance under the stove and to make it possible to heat food or make coffee on top of the stove. Unusually, the chimney pipe outlet is located in the middle of the stove, leaving room for two efficient heating plates on either side of the chimney.
Combustion technology
The stove uses a highly refined combustion process. Primary air enters from the front and back of the stove directly under the fire grate. This enables rapid ignition and steady combustion. Pre-heated secondary air is introduced to the stove’s top section through a flame plate in the door. The secondary air raises the combustion gas temperature, producing cleaner combustion at higher temperatures. The location of the gas combustion under the hotplates also accelerates and enhances their performance.
Warranty
Made in Finland, EU. The product has a 1-year guarantee against material and manufacturing defects.
Do not order this to the US. These are not approved for sale there, you could get into trouble.
