Merkwares are the creators of the Emberlit stove. This stove has a unique side feed system that allows you to burn long sticks and twigs. This system allows you to have a steady and controlled burn, so that you can focus on cooking rather than feeding the stove. While lightweight and easy to store, it is also very durable, and can support heavy dutch ovens. Next time that you are in the back country, don't forget your Emberlit stove!
