yeah i think im gonna order a uturn large today to replace my medium box.
If your interested in a used one let me know. I’m tossing the idea around of getting rid of it for the U turn
Yeah that’s where I’m at unfortunately. Instead of the star pattern I cut a hole, so I just emailed Kifaru about getting my sawtooth stovejack replaced. It likley won’t be a big deal, but more rain and a lot of heat escaping.
Yeah i thought it will be cheaper.The LOD is a beast anyways,its a good stove.Well they just released it but too expensive, $366 for a medium (smallest size) with a 5ft pipe. I’ll be going with a LO saving over $100.
It ends up costing almost as much as buying the new setup. And the new pipe diameter is different so you actually don’t lose as much weight doing the conversion.
I’m spending more as a whole but I’m not too bothered by it.
My stove is a medium. So to covert to a large would require the entire large box conversion kit, plus the uturn coversion kit.
Oh yeah, I was just thinking to convert medium to medium. What are you going to do with your medium?
I was hoping the price point of these would be a little lower. Tough decision over a LO.
I’ll think about it, going to hold off and see if there is a sale.
on my pictures i have the seekoutside damper and the ultra spark arrester....work really nice.If you go new I’d recommend looking into the reaper mod, and getting a kifaru or SO pipe collar.
I have spent a lot of time in my cimarron with a Lite Outdoors 18" stove this year, as well as two nights in another cimarron with a medium box stove.Having viewed the new U-Turn ti stove from Seek Outside, I'm impressed. I've long touted the TiGoat WiFi stove as maybe the best flattop stove I've ever used. The main problem with it is a lack of ability to completely shut down or control air intake. It burns great, but there is simply not enough restriction on air flow when fire control is needed. The U-Turn looks like a hybrid, taking the best features of the WiFi and a cube (box) stove to create a light and sturdy unit with excellent air control.
I've personally never been too intrigued by the cylinder stoves I've seen. I don't care for how most of them sit extremely close to the ground, and I've yet to see one which was truly useful for cooking. The LO stove looks to be the best of the group, but I'll be favoring a flattop stove which sits higher for more convenient loading and management.
