You can’t believe everything he says!

And he posted those for me since I’m the one who took them.

Love it, keep em coming.

Nothing like cooking a meal in the great outdoors.

Sorry for the lack of a BK

knoefz Why does the Core stove have those extra panels at the mouth? Is there an advantage to that? I have the Emberlit, and it just has a hole there.

my understanding is that's a material support and it's supposed to add a little "rocket stove" type convection as well, for a hotter burn.

I was wondering if that created a better draw.

Made some tea out on a quiet spot today.
It was nice and sunny.

Forgot about your question... sorry for the late reply.
It's called the rocket port. It helps a good draft, keeps flames better inside, supports twigs to get better in position inside.
Here's a quote from MSP:

The Rocket Port is an optional module designed to increase the performance of the unit by increasing its draft length. The rocket port sucks heat and flames from fuel burning near or outside the fuel port opening that would normally escape, into the burn chamber and directs it towards the cooking surface. The port can also help keep your pot handles cool, keep rain or snow off your fuel and even dry damp fuel as its slowly fed into the unit.

I only use it when I also install the afterburner plates inside (and also tlud plate on the top, (that's my favoritesetup of the stove)). For a normal burning mode (like the Emberlit) I notice not much difference.

Thanks for the reply.

I have always liked that Swiss stove set-up. I still have one packed away somewhere. They’re expensive now IF you can fine one.

really?
pretty sure I have 2 of them tucked away in a corner.
