A Survivor cooks really well with tiny amounts of fuel, and because of the light weight, it is really portable. If the powergrid goes down, your propane, charcoal or gas stove will work well as long as you have fuel. Well, IMHO, you need some sort of biomass stove. In addition, charcoal is spendy – the Boy Scout Troop I hang out with regularly goes through 20 to 30 pounds of charcoal at every cooking campout. About 70 to 80 percent of the energy of wood is wasted during the charcoal production process, according to SilverFire, and only one piece of charcoal is obtained from every four pieces of wood used during charcoal production.Ĭharcoal is very inefficient for boiling large volumes of water for emergency use, recreation, or daily cooking. Charcoal produces pollution both during the production and cooking processes. You could use charcoal in the SilverFire, but that kinda defeats the purpose. The five-point top balances pans very nicely. It worked perfectly, and today shows no signs of abuse.Ĭast iron top works well: I like being able to put a standard skillet or pan on the top without having to use an auxiliary grill or grid. As an aside, I left my original Survivor out in the rain for a week or so, and then fired it up wet. Stainless steel can rust, of course, but take reasonable care of the stove, and cover it with a tarp or piece of plastic between uses and it will maintain its good looks. Stainless Steel exterior: My Survivor has not had an easy life, but it still looks good. For a go-light emergency kit, the new Survivor definitely deserves a hard look. You don’t need to take a stove’ weight and also figure in the weight of propane cylinders, charcoal or other sorts of fuel. Think about it: 12.5 pounds is all your stove will weigh. This makes for easier handling and packing. Light weight: The Survivor weighs 12.5 pounds, which is about half of the StoveTec Deluxe and EcoZoom clay combustion chamber designed stoves. This ash is the end product of complete combustion and a well designed cook stove. ![]() SilverFire claims the Survivor has is the coolest surface temperature below the stove of any product on the market.Ĭomplete combustion and high thermal efficiency results in fine ash. ![]() An additional temperature reducing baffle plate has been added to the bottom of the stove to decrease temperature on cooking surfaces.
