I've been using a SO titanium stove for about 12 nights (not in a row) and I'm having problems. The main problem is getting it started. I may not be an expert survivalist but I know how to start a fire in most conditions. I lived in western Washington for five years and I never had a problem getting a fire going even on the peninsula. However, when I attempt to start one in the SO stove it seems like it just won't draw enough air to really get it going unless I leave the door open for a while and blow into it every couple minutes which usually results in the tent filling up with smoke, then once it is going it only seems to burn in one spot. Even when it does get going I can't close the door all the way or it dies out even with the draft open. Just wondering if these are problems some backcountry guru has found a solution to, problems a different brand stove would solve like maybe a cylinder instead of a box stove, or are they just issues that comes with using this style of stove?
