Backpackers, hunters and outdoor enthusiasts can now enjoy a hot meal while in the outdoors without the need to pack store-bought backpacking fuel such as, white gas or iso-butane canisters. Natural alternatives such as, sticks, bark, or pine cones can be easily used to prepare a hot meal.
The six-sided Vargo wood stove, appropriately name the "Hexagon" stove, utilizes hinged titanium plates that are incredibly lightweight, yet can withstand repeated exposure to high temperatures without damage. Ample air intake from alternately shorted side panels allows for proper flame maintenance and a stable base. Unlike a campfire, the Hexagon stove is environmentally friendly and will not blacken the ground or leave an unsightly blemish. A hinged door, located on the stove, side

The stoves conical design focuses the intensity of the flame upwards toward the bottom of your pot. The "V" shaped cuts at the top then allow the flame to hug the circumference pots and increase heating efficiency.
