Suluk 46 CT Wood Burning Stove Review

Suluk 46 makes high quality ultralight titanium gear in Canada. I got their tiny wood burning stove as a gift this Christmas from my brother, Jason.  After using a Vargo Hexagon Wood Stove for the last couple of years I decided that it was a little too big and burly for my cooking style-check out the size difference between the two!

I usually fill my 600ml mug up, about 2 3/4 0f a cup, and make soup and a freeze dried dinner or a bit of coffee in the morning, so this tiny CT stove is the perfect fit.

It is 3 1/2 inches tall and 3 inches wide so it is small but sturdy due to its hexagon shape, and at just slightly over an ounce it is one of the lightest stove options around. Disassembled, with the pieces stacked on top of each other, it’s about an inch thick, so it fits easily into a cooking set or any corner of my pack. Although not crucial to the functionality of the stove, I think the cutouts are nicely placed and very aesthetically pleasing.

Wood burning stoves are a little different- they generally take longer to boil water than alcohol or canister stoves so allow about 8-10 minutes to get the hang of it. If I’m feeling lazy or suspect wet wood at camp, I use a fuel tab instead of wood and it works very well.

This stove is a great option for people that have a minimalist mentality or backpackers that feel weight and size are issues. When you buy a piece of gear like this you are supporting small companies that are pushing the envelope in lightweight backpacking and not a giant company making sub-par products or using cheap and outdated textiles. I urge you to join me in supporting innovation by supporting these small cottage companies like this that make quality products.
