Evening all, I've just picked up a tent that's designed to work with wood stoves. The tents very lightweight but current stoves on the market are not very economical or lightweight (backpack/sled weight.) I've found a desighn I like on YouTube... m.youtube.com/watch?v=qIPbTg9DEuAThat I can plagiarise and make to be taken apart and put back together so I'll fit in a compartment of my rucksack. The problem I've found had is that "light" thin steel gets cold quick if they go out in the night ect. And isn't great for we're im planning to go. So does anyone have any experience with lightweight material that can hold heat and and release it slowly? Something I can wrap/attach or insert into the stove system that will act as a radiator. Much like soap stone or bricks but lighter. Any material suggestions appreciated, I am figure a way to get it to work no matter what, just need something light. Thanks Ben

Why not stones or water that you can collect when you setup camp and dump when you rig out
Otherwise you'll want to look at phase change material, but I wouldn't want to pack that around.

Karl isn't insulting the O.P. here, heat is mostly stored by MASS, and last time I looked, mass is heavy. I'd make a thin-walled stainless steel stove with perlite core insulation and space for rocks around and above, maybe in a triple-wall. Collect the rocks from the riverbank after setting up camp : turn your lightweight stove into a massy stove, profit!

I don't know about your price range but have you looked at any of the titanium stoves w/titanium stove pipes? I like this one with the flat top; seekoutside.com/wood-stoves/No mass storage but I think that was addressed by others. -Gadget

Yep I agree. There are usually lots of things to store heat around a camp site. No need to even carry them around or spend money on a fancy new fad.

Salt has been used for thermal storage utilizing its change of state properties

You could get a few wire gabion baskets and assemble them on site filled with rocks sourced at your camp site. And then surround the J tube rocket stove depicted to provide the mass. And attach the CO detector near by!

This might be going to work.
