  • Amazing piece of winter camping equipment. Worth every penny in terms of safety and quality.

WoW!

Don't sleep on this product! I used this in a 13x13 bell tent in 29 degree weather and it worked so well I had to leave the door item and the windows cracked. Make sure to burn it in before taking it on a trip. Also make sure the wood you use fits fully into the stove so no smoke escapes and make sure the chimney vent is set to on. The lever also indicates the direction of the vent. Pay attention. If used properly you'll hear the flame being pulled into the chimney. Only down side is it's low to the ground. Get a mat for your knees... pro tip!

This stove exceeded my expectations!

My first stove came in with a broken window. Customer service had me a replacement within a week. I burnt in the new stove and then tried it in the hot tent. Works amazing, definitely worth the money.

This stove is a keeper !!!

This King camp stove really did a great job. I spent 7 days on the mountain for Elk camp and was very happy to be warm and comfortable. I cooked some delicious food on it too. 😋

This chimney heats a 16'x16' tent well and does combat the cold. And now, based on my experience, I recommend the following: Do not put firewood too close to the chimney door, so that the smoke does not escape. And also make sure that the top lid is closed correctly, and that the pipe lever is in "On". This way the air flows upwards and you avoid "choking" on the smoke. DO NOT touch the pipes after lighting the chimney. Because once they are hot, they become red hot. And well, I just hope that its durability is very satisfactory too. I recommend buying it and I would too, if I would buy it again. Because I think, it would be very good to have one ready to use, as a reserve. Thanks KingCamp.

Well built little stove

I recently got a hot tent and ordered this little stove to use with it. Where I live we are still under strict fire restrictions so I have to wait probably another month or so to actually take this out and test it well. In the meantime, I'm pretty excited about this little stove and wanted to add some pics and comments about it. I'll try to return and update this after testing it out a few times this fall. When I opened the box I was immediately impressed with how sturdy and solid the stove feels. It seems to be manufactured very well and I didn't encounter any sharp edges or misaligned parts at all. Assembly was easy with the one-page instruction set and the stovepipe fit together tightly, though not so much that I can't easily disassemble it. I really like the glass windows in the side. Many of these stoves I've looked at don't have windows so it's not so easy to tell when to add more wood. This stove makes it easy to monitor your fire and adds the pleasant ambiance of seeing the flames inside the stove. I'm very pleased with this little stove so far and can't wait to test it out once the fire bans lift!

Small and compact. Heats space nicely. Good quality materials and it folds up into bag very tightly and you can fit all the accessories inside when you transport it so it transport all in one piece. The windows on the side of it make it seem like you have a fireplace inside your tent. I cannot express how happy i am with that alone. Very happy with this purchase i would recomend to anybody. I will note that it is VERY small so if you have a larger tent definitely get a medium or large.

Dear Ryan,

Thank you for your fantastic review and helpful tip! 🔥 We're thrilled the Surefire Stove added warmth—and that cozy fireplace vibe—to your tent. Appreciate you recommending us to fellow campers!

Best,

Have the medium.

Great camping stove

My lady and I have been winter camping for the past 2 years and we' were looking to upgrade our stove for our hot tent. The king camp did the job. We went from a 1½hr max burn time to 4½hours with the king camp. Sturdy, lightweight and very efficient this stove is our new best friend for winter camping. I own several king camp products and their quality is unmatched in most areas. I look forward to the next new products they release for me to upgrade my camping gear to the next level. Thank you king camp.

Great material. 👍 The only concern is that it came with a "crack in the glass." I think it may need some more padding for the shipping process.

Great quality!!!

I spent a lot of time researching camping stoves online and I was shocked at how expensive some of them are. I understand that it costs money to make a quality product but after watching many YouTube videos of people comparing more expensive stoves to this one I decided I would give it a try. I was surprised at how well this stove is made, the metal was thicker than I expected and the whole unit felt much sturdier than I assumed it would. My only criticism is the sharp edges on some of the parts. That being said they supply some cut resistant gloves and I'm not going to complain about a problem that can be solved with a bit of sand paper and about 10 minutes of my time. Overall I'm more than happy with my purchase and I would recommend this stove to anyone looking to get into hot tent camping on a budget.

Hi Ned,

Thank you so much for your detailed review! We're thrilled to hear that you're impressed with the quality and sturdiness of the KingCamp Surefire Tent Stove. We appreciate you taking the time to research and compare before making your decision, and we're happy it met your expectations!

We also appreciate your feedback about the sharp edges. We're glad the gloves provided were helpful, and your suggestion of using sandpaper is a great idea for a quick fix.

Thanks again for recommending the stove—your support means a lot to us! We're confident it will make your hot tent camping experiences even better. ❤️

Large enough to fit campground bought wood

This heavy duty camping stove by King Camp is an amazing piece of winter camping equipment. I wanted a stove I could fit a log into without the need to cut it down in size, due to my injured hands/arms. This stove made that happen, it has all the features that make a stove great. Especially the windows, obviously to stare at the fire, but heat transfers through glass easier than metal, so it's more efficient in that regard. It comes with a carrying bag which is a good thing, since the only negative I could find with the stove is that it has some weight to it and that isn't really too much of a negative considering the workmanship of this stove is excellent. You could buy a cheaper stove elsewhere, however, you get what you pay for and I'm not gonna go cheap when we're talking about Carbon Dioxide and cheaply made hot tent stoves using inferior materials. This stove is worth every penny in terms of safety, workmanship and quality. King Camp has a number of other camping items too that are worth checking out.

Worth the price.

Very well built stove! This is my first tent stove and I can honestly say this is a stove I'll be handing down to my kids! Built like a tank and has worked without fail everytime. Very happy on this purchase.

Nice stove but one problem

The stove worked well and I like the size. However, one of the mounting posts/pegs for the side grate had too tight of a fit into its corresponding hole and would not come loose. I worked it and worked it but ultimately had to break off the cylindrical it was inserted into from the stove in order to re pack. The cylinder is still stuck to the peg. The other side grate did not have this problem.

Hi Joe,

Thank you for your feedback and for choosing our stove. We apologize for the inconvenience you experienced with the mounting post for the side grate. It's possible that during transportation or loading and unloading, the metal components may have undergone deformation, causing the tight fit issue you encountered. We have taken note of this concern and made improvements to prevent such issues in the future. We appreciate your patience and understanding. If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to us.

Well engineered stove!

This wood stove is VERY well designed - it has been durable and it holds heat well. One of my favorite features is the removable top panel. It makes adding larger logs a breeze. The fitment of the stovepipes is great - just make sure you tighten everything (with the included tool). Customer service is excellent! I had a need for two additional pipe sections and they responded extremely rapidly.

Heavier than expected, but sturdy and strong

I took this camping and used it outside of my tent (I didn't have the tent with a stove pipe outlet). The stove is heavy, so I do not recommend it for primitive camping. It was easy to setup and put together. The cool thing is that when you have the fire going you can put the pipes on and it to direct the smoke higher up or away from you. Once the fire is going it radiates some good heat for keeping warm.

Convenient

This is such a great thing to have when camping and fishing if you want to cook what you catch. It's very portable. It's a bit heavy so I wouldn't be carrying it on a hiking trip but it's good for camping.

Great tent stove

This stove is a great. It produces a good amount of heat but if this is your first stove take some time to understand how you need to start your fire and how to keep your coals. This packs up really well. I haven't tried cooking with it yet but it seems like that would be an easy task. Keeps my tent nice and toasty!

Works great, no leaks.

Compact for storage or transport. Easy to assemble. High build quality. Unlike some other reviewers, I didn’t have any issue with leaking stove pipe. This is a great high quality, high value alternative to the much more expensive stoves out there. It’s perfect for a beginner or occasional use.
