Waiting on delivery of the DX 2 stove. I placed the order in mid November and asked that he delay shipment until mid December. Mr. Donald indicated he was running a little behind around Christmas. I noticed my CC got hit with the charges last week, so I am expecting delivery any time.
Was happy to learn they are still making these fine stoves. After some cold nights in Northern New Mexico this past Oct. I felt it was time to up grade. Have plans for some drop camp hunts and maybe a "paddle in" camping/hunting trip using my Kayak. At first I could not decide on what size stove and deiced to opt for the larger one. Fire box is 22 X 11 X 11 with a baffle. This unit has a 4" pipe, and comes with a warming tray, stove pipe, adjustable elbow, and a damper. At 14 lbs. complete this will provide a big weight savings to my kit.
Anyone have any 1st hand advice on burn in, care, maintenance or general use? I will be operating the stove in my 12'X12' Alakank tent. At some point I will replace this with either a wall tent, spike tent, or T-pee. Any new tent will be ordered with a 4" stove jack. In the meantime, any input on how to address the 4" stove pipe in a 5" stove jack would be appreciated.
