Winnerwell Fastfold Titanium versions: which one suits you?

The Winnerwell Fastfold Titanium versions look alike, but they differ quite a lot. Because of that, you can match the stove to your tent, your way of camping and the weight you carry. That is why we list the versions here side by side.

When you choose, you will therefore often see these options:

  • Ultralight backpack version (rolled pipe), under 1 kg
  • M with rolled pipe
  • M with nested pipe
  • L with nested pipe

Although the models look alike, they differ in weight, size and use.

Ultralight backpack version, under 1 kg

This version is mainly for anyone who counts every gram. Think, for example, of bushcrafters and trekkers who walk far. At under 1 kg, it is one of the lightest full wood stoves for a tent. Moreover, the pipe is a titanium tube that you roll up. As a result, the whole set packs down very small.

  • Very low weight, under 1 kg
  • Ideal for trekking and hiking
  • Packs down small
  • Perfect if you go solo
  • Heats a small tent fast

Especially campers who walk long distances choose this version.

Op het fornuis staat een metalen waterketel met een decoratief handvat, en uit de ventilatiesleuven in de kacheldeur is een oranje gloed van het vuur zichtbaar. Een schoorsteenpijp steekt uit de bovenkant van de kachel voor rookafvoer.

Fastfold M with rolled pipe

The M with rolled pipe sits nicely between light to carry and solid to stand. Here too you roll up the pipe, but the stove is bigger than the backpack version. Therefore it gives more heat, so it suits a medium tent. Even so, the weight stays low for a complete titanium wood stove.

  • Bushcraft weekends
  • Medium canvas tents
  • Trips of several days
  • Anyone who wants comfort and freedom to move

Fastfold M with nested pipe

With the nested pipe, the flue consists of separate parts that slide into each other. As a result, the pipe feels sturdier when you use the stove for a long time. Many people choose this version because they value strength over the lowest weight. Besides, setup is often simpler with fixed pipe parts.

  • Sturdy pipe
  • Simple to put together
  • Handy if the stove stays in one place for long
  • Great for a longer stay

Fastfold L with nested pipe

The L with nested pipe suits large tents and long stays in the cold. Thanks to the larger firebox, it gives more heat and burns longer. That is why it is popular with winter campers and in a big basecamp. Although this model is heavier, titanium keeps it a lot lighter than a steel stove.

Rolled pipe or nested pipe?

Many people hesitate over the pipe, because rolling up or sliding together makes a difference.

Rolled pipe

  • Lower weight
  • Packs down smaller
  • Ideal for trekking
  • Mainly for those who move a lot

Nested pipe

  • Sturdier
  • Simpler to set up, even if you are new to it
  • Great if the stove stays in one spot
  • Also handy for a longer stay

Which of the Winnerwell Fastfold Titanium versions do you choose?

That mainly depends on how you camp. Do you want to carry little and move a lot? Then the ultralight backpack version is often the best choice. Do you want more heat, or will you stay longer? In that case the M or the L suits you better, because they give more heat. See the Winnerwell Fastfold Titanium in the shop.

To sum up

The Winnerwell Fastfold Titanium versions offer a fitting stove for almost every camper. From a light bushcraft camp to a large winter camp, each version is mobile, solid and gives good heat. In fact, the choice between rolled pipe and nested pipe is what makes the stove fit your way of life outdoors.
