How Does it Work?
Designed with a double wall, the Stove has unique airflow properties which makes it extremely efficient. The air intake holes on the bottom of the stove channel air to the bottom of the fire while at the same time, channels warm air up between the walls of the stove. This burst of preheated oxygen feeding back into the firebox through the smaller holes at the top of the stove causes a secondary combustion. A more efficient burn also means you'll use much less wood compared to an open camp fire.

Excellent Product That Fills a Need

- Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2015Great product. I ordered it along with the companion pot that the Titan fits inside. Both together weigh 2 lbs or less I'd say, and they fit nicely together into one of the bags that they came in (so, now I have a bonus nylon bag that says Solo Stove... something else to pack small stuff in!)
Being excited to try a few new things at the same time, I went out in my back yard and had my 2 1/2 yr old twins help me gather some small fallen branches, and I broke them up into ~4" long pieces. Tossed 4-6 in the stove, then used a cotton ball with a dab of petroleum jelly on it and my band new Swedish firesteel, sparked it a couple times until I got the hang of it, and tucked the burning cotton ball down among the twigs. The day was chilly, maybe 30-40F, but within just a minute or so my little fire was burning merrily, and we had fun just feeding it with twigs every few minutes, for a while. I thought about the water and filled the pot, but before I could get it to a boil my wife called us inside for dinner. So, I didn't get it boiling, but have no doubt it will do so without a problem.
The Solo Stove Titan seems quite efficient, and is fun to feed and have some fire on a cold day. It lit easily, could set it to burn for a while and the flagstone underneath wasn't at all warm, and overall was a lot of fun for one who enjoys just having some fire sometimes. :) I wouldn't consider it a substitute for a campfire proper, especially if you want several folks to be able to cook weenies or marshmallows at once... and I think it requires a bit of tending, at least with the small twigs I used... but could certainly cook on it a pot of coffee, some stew, etc. The best two things I like about it are the light weight (stainless but without seams/welds) and the fact that you can use almost any biomass that fits in it... twigs, pinecones, dried grass to start it, etc. Oh yes, cleanup was a snap too... rinsed off the soot first in the sink, then wiped it off and let it air dry. Now it's back in it's bag, inside my BOB, ready to go camping in 3-4 weeks! ;-)
Oh yes, while it's NOT the cheapest option (my wife pointed out a little one burner stove at Sam's Club for about $25, but you gotta buy bottles of fuel or it's just a bunch of metal), it IS easy to pack in a BOB as it can nestle inside itself, and then into the matching 60oz or so pot, and you don't have to carry around fuel!
- Reviewed in the United States on July 6, 2013The Solo Stove Titan is a great product to use when cooking for two or more due to its versatility and ease of use. If you can make a campfire you can use this product with little trouble. The biggest challenge for me was finding dry firewood after a week of rain. Because of the damp wood I needed to use a firestarter.
From the time I put the pot of water on the stove I had quick cooked oatmeal in seven minutes thirty seconds. The one cup of tap water began boiling at a little over 4 minutes. The Solo Stove Titan still had flames in it with enough tinder that I could have/should had boiled more water for a cup of coffee. Next time I will be more prepared.
Being able to find tinder just about anywhere in any camping situation in the Appalachian Mountains makes this Solo Stove Titan a sustainable product. There is no need to use any petroleum products for this stove to make a perfectly boiled egg, a cup of oatmeal or a delicious cup of coffee. The small amount of wood required for boiling one cup of water is amazing. I would never have thought I would only need a handful of small, dead and fallen twigs to boil a cup of water. The way the stove is designed makes it possible to efficiently burn the wood. The cooking ring is very sturdy and I feel very comfortable boiling up to a quart of water or other product. The height of the cooking ring makes it an easy task to feed the fire more fuel when needed. I also like it because it makes it possible to "simmer" if you keep the flame low and feed sparingly but enough to keep it burning.
I look forward to adding this stove to my outdoor cooking classes --- Dutch Oven, cardboard box, sticks, and now the Solo Stove Titan.
I compared the Solo Stove Titan side by side with the original Solo Stove. Both took about the same amount of time to get a good flame as well as boil a cup of water. I had to feed the original Solo Stove but not the Titan. To me, there are two different uses for these products. If I am going backpacking and only required to feed myself, I will take the Original. If I am going to have to feed two or three, I will take the Titan.
I would recommend this product to anyone who likes to use resources wisely and who wants to be prepared. I see the use of this stove in the event that the electricity is out, in the front country or in the back country.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2017This is a great little stove and on a test, created a strong fire from small sticks that easily boiled a good pot of water (16cm Zebra pot in this case).
It is easy to carry, dismantles quickly and cools quickly. I though that emptying it would be a pain because of the grid but there was almost no ash to speak off after a very good fire.
All I'd say to using it regularly is that you have to feed feed feed these type of stoves and when they are this small, it's quite tricky to get small bits of sticks through the gap. I found myself lifting the pot off each time to get a few more sticks in there. I have a large silver fire rocket stove also and this is nice because you can feed from the bottom, but of course doesn't have the portability of this Titan.
Very sturdy product, nicely finished and put together with a bag the helps keep soot off other things (except the pot above!!).
Very light and just FYI, fits inside the 16cm Zebra pot albeit that you have to remove the zebra pot tray.
Nice portable very efficient stove that burns almost anything and leaves the ground without a mark - which sometimes is handy...

5.0 out of 5 stars Great camping stove
First I’m not ultralight backpacker. This was still smaller than I expected, so ideal (Lite would be too small). Tried a cheap wood burner (different style) which had flames, smoke, sparks everywhere and killed the grass even though it was stood on 1.5” thick slate, bottom was so deformed after one burn, it kept falling apart. So wanted something different especially as I wanted to burn wood pellets, fire and forget style - there’s not huge info on this so thought I would add some details..
Bought 15cm square stainless mesh off ebay and cut to fit the base to help keep pellets in.
First time (didn’t pay lots of attention) but virtually zero smoke, lit easy with a Twizzler. Used approx 150g of Woodlets pellets (2 handfuls, costs approx 20p). Almost zero heat transfer to the ground. Took 10mins to get going, then had a strong flame for approx 15mins, once the flame went out had lots of heat, but gradually dissipated over the next 5mins, so 15-20mins cooking time. 45mins after lighting it’s cool enough to pick up and empty out - it actually cools from the bottom up. 53mins after lighting it’s cool enough to pack. Watch the stainless grid if you add one - that can stay very hot when the rest is cold.
Did a second test and paid a bit more attention. Air temp around 17 degrees, not a lot of wind. This time 300g Woodlets pellets (40p) same as before, virtually zero smoke, sparks throughout whole burn and contained. No base heat issues. Bear in mind for below was moving pan around a lot wasn’t kept over main heat.
10 mins to get going with a Twizzler
33 mins after lighting, flames go out but huge heat output still (300 degrees ish)
40 mins after lighting, water still boiling (water temp 94 degrees)
Moving the pan off the top can give it a burst of heat I think with extra o2
48/49 mins after lighting water going off boil/simmer temp (water temp 86 degrees)
52 mins after lighting, it’s done
55 mins after lighting you could pick up carefully and empty (I didn’t)
1 hr 10 after lighting cool enough to pack.
For most by the time you’ve cooked, eaten food and washed up, it’ll be cool enough to pack. Room in the canister to hold a few more pellets if longer burn required.
After this wondered about quick cup of tea water boiling. Tried the Dragon fuel blocks in a Lush tin to heat 350ml of water. First test, used the full set up and the pellet mesh across the supports for a small cup. 1 block lasted 8mins and water reached 80degrees. Pan was too high so cut down a spare mesh to hold the cup and didn’t use the pan support. This time 1 block lasted 7 mins and water temp maxed at 91 degrees. This seems to be the limit of the blocks rather than setup. Didn’t have a lid on the cup, so that might help me reach boiling.
Edit: OK, sussed it out. Inverted the Tantoka cup inside the solo stove and put the pan support back on. Distance from fuel to pan just over 30mm. Used a wide pan to capture all heat and it was a calmer burn. 400ml of water to boiling in 7mins 30 and total burn time of 11mins 20 from one block!
Some say this is too expensive for what it is, for me, the heat shield in the bottom and quality build make it worth it. This was much cheaper than the Lite version
