Here is a new Backpacking stove I wanted to share with everyone. I will be doing a review and some videos with it. For now just some quick info!

I purchased the MSP Core 4 Stove Heavy Titanium Set that includes at least one of every part available and Case from http://mysurvivalpack.com for $120+shipping. There are the simple standard stoves in stainless and ti for a lot less. This is good for those looking for the basic 5 panel stove! 4 walls and 1 burn plate. You can also order parts individually which helps build the stove up as you want it or buy replacements!

***If Quick Assembly is important to you read my below assembly description!!***
***KEEP IN MIND***
Going from Simple Assembly with 4 walls and a burn plate to a More parts involved Woodgas mode, ASSEMBLY GETS DIFFICULT! But With practice it gets easier! ;) Now I can assemble it in any configuration with no problem.
Once together its solid!

This Core 4 stove is a multifunction Woodgas stove that can be used with wood, alcohol or solid fuel tabs like esbit tabs.
The SHTF Grill top is interesting that besides being a cooking grill top it has fishing Hooks, points, tools that can be popped out in an emergency survival situation to get food ect. And cook on it!
This stove is unique in that it can be used ans 3 side panels, 4 panel, rocket style or secondary combustion woodgas type stove! The only collapsable Woodgas stove I know of that folds flat!
The TLUD can hold a Trangia or Esbit Alcohol Burner and a Solid Fuel attachment is included too!
In 3 panel mode its still able to use the Trangia burner!!
Assembled it feels sturdy and really look forward to using it!
With so much options you can take only parts you need for minimum weight or take it all for max versatility!
I have the Core 4 Stove Ti model but its available in Stainless Steel too.
I burned it in every way possible and the Core 4 and 3 never stops impressing me!

Here are some specs:

1. Titanium Core 3 Stove Ultralight - 4.1oz
- One front panel, two side panels, perforated burn plate
- w/Door 4.4oz

2. Titanium Core 4 Stove Ultralight - 6.3 oz
- One front panel, three side panels, perforated burn plate.

3. Titanium Core 4 Bio-Reactor - 8.7 oz
- One front panel, three side panels, perforated burn plate, three afterburners, TLUD plate
- w/Door - 8.9 oz

4. Titanium Core 4 Bio-Reactor Unlimited - 11.6 oz
- One front panel, three side panels, perforated square burn plate, three afterburners, TLUD plate, rocket port, bottom square heat shield/griddle.
- w/Standard Core grill - 12.4 oz

Since the Emberlit broke the ice, several competing twig stoves have come out. The CORE is an interesting design.

Thanks for this generous offer. You’ve volunteered for a job of work here.

As I understand it the Titanium CORE 4 Bio-Reactor Stove –- $42.00 comes with:

1 Front Panel
3 Side Panels
3 Afterburner Plates
1 TLUD Plate
1 Square Perforated Burn Plate
1 Triangle Perforated Burn Plate
1 Stove Bag

Is that correct?

On site it says, The new design incorporates unique port features that allow them to be blocked with just a couple small strips of thin metal from a tin can.

Is that really a do-it-yourself project? We have to snip some sheet metal to make our own air intake blocks?

In four sided mode, will the stove accept a Snow Peak Summit, or a Guyot bottle, without supports? Or do you need a grill in place?

I like the multi-fuel option. And I like the Trangia stove. So that TLUD plate looks good.

I’d also want the Fuel Tab module. And the grill, come to that.

To save shipping, could we buy those through you as a part of the deal?

I dont have those to say for sure but my guess is you need the grill.
I know this is an added job that requires daily checking in. Lol.
He sells the dampers if you rather not use a can.

They sell every part individually so you could add the tablet plate and wind blockers to the order.

I dont sell these. I just tried really hard to get the discount for us.
 
Here is a boring video of my first time using the Core Stove.
Burn was done with:
TLUD plate
3 afterburners
Heat shield
Burn plate
Rocket port

Feel free to let me know how bad my video skills are and how much I suck at making fires. Lol.
Enjoy!
