the old "Four Dog" set up, titanium, no moving parts
I like my Emberlit. I don't know that it's any better than others, but it works for me.
As to posting boil times,....it all depends on what kind of wood you have and the skill of the user in building a fire.
With a cotton ball and Vaseline, and a hand full of Rhododendron sticks,.....I can boil water as fast as an alchohol burner,....start to finish.
I like that it folds flat and takes up little space in a pack. The stove pieces alone are maybe 1/8 inch thick stacked together. Add the grill, some fire starting tender, cross pieces for small pot stand, and stuff sack,.....and it gets up to a whopping 1/4 inch thick.

I'm a fan of qiwiz's firefly wood burner - especially now that he has an esbit adapter. At 2.5 ounces I think it is the lightest. With dry wood available I boil about as fast as my old alcohol stove. Wet wood or rain I don't struggle and just use esbit. I am really happy with that dual fuel flexibility.

This is a link to an excellent thread on Buhwalk Australia comparing TiTri Caldera Cone and BushBuddy stoves.

If you get no joy with Slow Mind, use mine... Excellent site for ALL sorts of info....
very cool ... I am now looking at "other" wood stoves but, are there nay Sayers to gassification or perhaps there is a time difference?

All stoves gassify wood. Your match or bic lighter starts the process. Single wall works just as well as a double wall.
I did all the comparison work and it's posted in the forums here and there and elsewhere. Not many remember nor do they care?
Wise Old Owl tell us your findings. Which is better, single or double and why.
Look how nice this one gassifies:
My understanding is that any time wood is burning it produces wood gas, but not all stoves burn that gas. Is this not true? Or are you saying that for backpacking purposes it doesn't make a noticeable difference in practice?All stoves gassify wood. Your match or bic lighter starts the process.

Can you post a link to your comparison work?
Zelph - I read just about everything you have posted in the past - I just don't remember the comparison you are referring too...

Backpacking stoves are no where near big enough to produce the very high heat needed to ignite the gasses what so many refer to as the "Secondary Burn"
What we see in backpacking size stoves is all "Primary Ignition" burning of the twigs. The upward draft of air is carrying away any unburned gasses. Those gasses are long gone, no chance for a secondary ignition of them.
Double wall stoves of any worth are large stoves used by 3rd world countrys. Well insulated stove bodies are suppose to be of a benefit to combustion so says the designers which sell them to the local tribes etc.
I'll be back with some links to stove comparisons.
Very interesting stuff. I have heard people say that backpacking stoves are too small to effectively burn woodgas. I've seen videos where you can see smoke swirling around in the firebox, but the flame above it is completely smokeless. Is it possible that backpacking hobo stoves are simply burning off the smoke and not the wood gas? (is that even possible?)
A lot of people claim these stoves run with less smoke - are they just full of it? Your tests used kiln dried wood so they might not necessarily be representative of what happens in the real world with damp wood. There's probably no good way to scientifically test "real world" conditions... I guess you just have to spend a lot of time playing around and getting a feel for the stoves.
