I will attest from personal experience..... that style of stove is just garbage. It is all riveted together and you can't get in and clean it. Ours was so fouled that it barely produced a flame even after building a tripod and hoisting the can almost 8 feet off the ground.
The round "Yukon" stoves are far, far better. Honestly, the whole drip fuel thing was a pain in the ass and I blame the regulators dribbling out diesel fuel. Stoke a Yukon with wood or coal and they will glow a nice cherry red. I would give them the round Yukon or one of these THESE three dog or four dog guide stoves with a baker and water boiler. Early teams would get the Yukon and 90's or later the civvie stove based on availability. Seriously, if you see a round Yukon for sale somewhere; snatch that baby up. The only thing the "New" stove comes with that is good... the thermo electric fan. Set that directly on the stove and it will begin circulating heat. We are talking about the Morrow Project though...... So you have a lovely fusion powersource parked outside. A high output electric heater will do just fine without diesel, kerosene, or firewood needing collected. Won't smother you with carbon monoxide while your sleeping either. |

The problem with a high output electric heater is the size you might have a hard time fitting in the tents pictured above Old Tech high output electric heater: http://www.globalindustrial.com/p/hv...ctric-heater-3 Current Tech high output electric heater: http://www.worldmkting.com/heavy-dut...utility-heater The Current tech would work fine, but early time might not have them (FYI you would a platform to prevent it from sinking in the snow) and you need a few grounded extension cords/power cables to run it from the any vehicle.

For Base Camps, I image the project would have some sort of portable fusion power source for running a small camp???? I would also like to add the Volvo BM Bv 202 and Bandvagn 206 (Bv 206) would great use to any team operating in a snow environment.

Remove the multi fuel unit and you had a wood or coal stove. Mix some gasoline into diesel to thin it and burn that through the multi fuel insert (ranges at the chow or warming tent). Then I got to a unit that had this "new" stove. Tiny burn chamber for wood, can't remove the fuel burner to clean it. The only way to get it to burn hotter than a candle was to dump a pint of gasoline over the fuel burner and drop in some burning paper to light that. The chamber would then get hot enough to draw and atomize fuel at what was at best the low setting. Damn frustrating when a stove won't boil water. So this was the MP unit I went to Iraq with in 2003 and we used them in Dec 03, Jan-Feb 04 as nights got to 25F and even snow twice or more. |

Someone also mentioned electric heaters. I would also add a hot plate per vehicle for general use. |

Now we're cooking
![]() Add a Bv 206 to haul it and the team and winter sucks a lot less. |
