TOAKS Titanium Backpacking Wood Burning Stove

The TOAKS Titanium Backpacking Wood Burning Stove (STV-11) is a three-piece, double-wall titanium stove designed for ultralight backpackers who want to cook with foraged wood rather than carry fuel canisters. Weighing 7.9 oz (225g) and packing down to 4 1/8" x 4 1/8" (105mm x 105mm), it uses a three-stage combustion system to burn both wood and wood gas for a cleaner, more efficient fire. It nests inside TOAKS 1100ml or 1600ml pots and can contain TOAKS 375ml or 450ml cups within the set.

Three-Stage Combustion, Not Just a Fire Box

The TOAKS STV-11 uses a specialized vent system that drives wood gasification and three distinct combustion stages. Primary air enters through bottom holes to ignite the fuel. A second air stream heats between the double walls and re-enters through internal top holes, burning the wood gas that a conventional stove would waste as smoke. A third air stream drawn from the top side holes completes combustion. The practical result: the stove leaves fine white ash rather than charred wood, meaning more heat reached the pot and less fuel was consumed to get there. This three-stage design earned the stove an award at the 2015 Outdoor Friedrichshafen trade show for ultra-high efficiency and compact design.

Ultralight Titanium, No Coating

The stove is built entirely from uncoated titanium, which keeps weight to 7.9 oz (225g) while resisting the corrosion and heat degradation that affect coated or steel alternatives. Uncoated titanium also means there is no surface treatment to burn off, chip, or require maintenance over years of field use. The three-piece stacking construction assembles to 4 1/8" diameter x 8" tall (105mm x 205mm) and disassembles flat for packing, so it fits inside compatible TOAKS pots without adding meaningful bulk to a pack.

Fuel-Free Travel, Practical Nesting

The TOAKS STV-11 burns foraged sticks and wood scraps, so no fuel canisters, alcohol, or liquid fuel are needed. This is a meaningful advantage on multi-day trips where resupply is uncertain or weight is critical. The burning chamber measures 3 3/4" diameter x 4" tall (95mm x 100mm); packing vertically-oriented sticks and keeping wood below the top side holes of the internal cylinder maintains proper airflow for secondary combustion. A nylon stuff sack is included for storage and transport.

Features

• Three-stage combustion system: burns wood and wood gas via primary, secondary, and tertiary air channels for high efficiency and low smoke.
• Double-wall construction: preheats secondary air between walls for more complete combustion.
• Uncoated titanium: no coating to chip or degrade; corrosion and heat resistant.
• Three-piece stacking design: assembles and disassembles without tools; nests inside compatible TOAKS pots.
• Nylon stuff sack included: protects the stove and keeps ash contained in a pack.
• Award-winning design: recognized at 2015 Outdoor Friedrichshafen for efficiency and compact form.

Specifications

Who This Is For and Isn't

The TOAKS STV-11 suits ultralight backpackers, thru-hikers, and bushcraft campers who want to eliminate fuel-canister weight and cost on trips where dry wood is reliably available. It pairs directly with TOAKS 1100ml and 1600ml pots and can nest TOAKS 375ml and 450ml cups inside the stove body for compact packing.

The STV-11 is not suited for environments where open fires are prohibited or where dry wood is unavailable, such as above treeline or in fire-restricted areas. No pot, cup, or cookware of any kind is included; all cookware is sold separately. The stove is not designed for alcohol or canister fuel.

Common Questions

What fuel does this stove burn?

The TOAKS STV-11 wood burning stove runs on foraged sticks and wood scraps; no fuel canisters, alcohol, or liquid fuel are used or required. The three-stage combustion system also burns the wood gas produced during pyrolysis, which increases efficiency and reduces smoke compared to a simple open fire box.

What pots and cups are compatible for nesting?

The TOAKS STV-11 nests inside TOAKS 1100ml and 1600ml pots. TOAKS 375ml and 450ml cups can be stored inside the stove body itself, making it possible to pack the stove, cups, and a compatible pot together as a compact cook system. Pots and cups are sold separately.

How does the three-stage combustion system work?

The TOAKS STV-11 draws air through three separate channels. Primary air enters via bottom holes to start combustion. A second stream heats between the double walls and re-enters through internal top holes to burn wood gas (secondary combustion). A third stream enters through top side holes for a final combustion stage. Together these stages maximize heat output and minimize unburned smoke, leaving fine white ash as evidence of complete combustion.

What is included with the stove?

The TOAKS STV-11 ships with the stove itself and a nylon stuff sack for storage and transport. No pot, cup, grate, or cookware is included. Cross bars and compatible TOAKS pots are available separately.

How should wood be loaded for best performance?

For best performance with the TOAKS STV-11, pack sticks vertically inside the burning chamber and keep wood below the top side holes of the internal cylinder. This maintains the airflow separation that drives secondary combustion. Additional wood can be added through the top small window, but minimizing interruptions during burning helps sustain the combustion cycle.
