I have only used this outdoors.Pros:Small, efficient, easy to use and set up, puts off alot of heat. Can be used for cooking.Cons:Used it 4 times already and the chemical burning smell from the paint has still not burned off. NEVER use this inside an enclosure. Fume burn off is HIGHLY toxic. I'm wondering if it will ever stop smelling... will update....I like the size of this stove and it’s quality of construction. It is easy to setup and easy to use. I don’t like how much residue falls back down the stainless chimney during the burn in run of the stove. Pictures attached. You will need to burn this stove in for several hours prior to using in your hot tent. The fumes from the paint / coating of the metals is pretty obnoxious. It works well enough to make espresso on reliably.Great for the money. Especially if you are like me, a beginner and not to for sure if you wanna get one, I love it can't wait to try it camping. Always pre burn before usingGreat stove and good qualityGood stove for the price. One caveat and why I gave it 4 stars is you need to start a fire in it and burn off fumes from the paint before your first use. Do this outside. It does not come with a seal on the door as it is intended for outdoor useage (it needs one added for use indoors). It is designed to fit a quarter inch door seal.Bought this for camping and it works well. Light enough to carry and easy to setup. Fire stared easy and was able to control air flow to keep a nice steady fire. I added a spark arestor and am ready to go. I had no problems with materials or function. I am very satisfied with my purchase of this stove.Good product but be a lot better if offered a spark arrestor and one piece cheminyThe door warped on the first night of camping and because of that I lost all ability to dampen the fire so I could stoke it properly for overnight
