Question 1

Does this unit burn clean....no smoke.  Could it be used in small home ?   Any safety concerns

Accepted Answer

I put mine in the fireplace, cut the legs off to be about 3" long and got some articulating 4" stove-pipe angles to get the smoke up the chimney.  I then used the first piece of stove pipe that came with this and moved the flue to the bottom.   Want no or very little smoke?   BEFORE YOU OPEN THE FRONT STOVE DOOR - open the flue all the way - then open the draft louvers in the front - let it draft for a minute then open the door.   I've had VERY little smoke get in.   But - it is IMPORTANT to make sure the flue is intalled or the fire will burn VERY fast and the stove-pipe will get VERY hot.   When everything is closed down the sides and top of the stove can reach 700 degrees easily - but the stove pipe is about 250-350 degrees.   I have a digital temperature gage and check regularly.   See my review for my setup.

Question 2

at the very bottom and front, how far apart are the feet of the legs? going to get a drip pan and need to know how large it needs to be

Accepted Answer

Here's a thought....why not put patio blocks under the entire stove !That way, you can make sure the area around the outside of the legs is protected also !!

Question 3

“Is this stove a cheap chinese knockoff of the original american made cylinder stove?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely not!!!!   I bought this for emergency uses....but used it once to test it out.  I was very surprised how heavy it was.  I expected some cheap tin like box......but it is very heavy and solid.   The legs could be a little more stable but with some tinkering I know I could sturdy them up a little.

Question 4

What is the actual hole size for the pipe... I want to use actual stove pipes not that retractable thing it came with

Accepted Answer

A strong 4-15/16". Thats what mine measures anyway. The pipe it comes with slides down the hole a bit as its crimped.
