Gas free cooking

A compact stove that efficiently burns wood.

more detail

What is it?

The LOFI Stove is a small forced-air stove for backpackers, hikers and campers. It burns natural fuels such as sticks and twigs, as well as wood pellets.

A small internal fan feeds the fire with a controlled flow of air, helping it burn hotter, cleaner and more efficiently than a conventional wood fire.

Simple design

The LOFI Stove’s airflow is designed to keep the base cool while the fire is burning, helping to protect the ground underneath from scorching. An integrated ember guard helps contain stray sparks and embers when your cook pot is in place, while also shielding the fire from wind and directing heat towards the pot.

The double-walled body draws air through the stove and feeds preheated secondary air back into the fire, helping it burn hotter and more completely. The result is a cleaner, more efficient wood fire with less smoke and soot on your cookware.

The stove uses very little power and will run from a USB power bank, a compatible phone with reverse charging, or even a small solar panel.

Specification

Some useful information

01 -

Detailed specification

The LOFI stove will run for 25 to 150 hours on a 10,000mAh battery pack, and power use is just 55mA on the lowest setting and 350mA on high power.

02 -

Other features

All the electronic components have been coated in an additional protective silicone layer to provide reliability in even the toughest conditions, if the stove gets wet just dry it off. The speed controller is rated to IP67, equivalent to up to 1m of water submersion.

Construction

Made from titanium, the LOFI Stove is incredibly lightweight at just 150g. Its double-walled construction channels air through the stove, while the internal fan provides precise control over the fire.

Turn the controller to adjust the airflow and heat output – from a gentle simmer to a powerful boil.

Fuel

The LOFI Stove burns a wide range of solid natural fuels, including sticks, twigs, wood pellets, pinecones and bark. Paper, card or other dry tinder can be used to get the fire started.

And if you’re really stuck, almost anything dry and combustible can become fuel – even starchy foods like corn chips or noodles, or dry animal dung in an emergency.

About

How does it work?

The LOFI Stove uses a small internal fan to force air through the fire, rather than relying on the natural draw of a conventional wood stove.

Air enters beneath the fuel to keep the fire burning, while the double-walled body feeds preheated secondary air into the flames above. This helps burn gases and smoke that would otherwise escape, creating a hotter, cleaner and more efficient fire.

Because the airflow is powered by the fan, it keeps working even with a cook pot sitting on top – and turning the controller lets you adjust the fire from a gentle simmer to a powerful boil.
