The Kieth Titanium Firebox stove is very well made in every respect. Patience is a part of what bush-crafting is about so i don't mind that i have to assemble this stove. I also love the reasonable price point and the fact that the durable storage bag is so nice. However… this appeal is starting to get old when each time i patiently assemble the stove only to have it fall apart when i try to slip the 4th side on. Repeat this scenario at least 3 times, every time. It seems the stove assembles more successfully in an upright position than a side position.At times i have had my burn plate and ash plate seem wobbly in their position, and at other times they fit tight as drum. Its not a warpage issue but just a result of trying to do origami with metal plates.When cooking, the stove may work itself out of level and begin to disassemble itself if the ground beneath it is not level enough.PROS= By leaving the pot support out (which weakens stability just a wee bit) i can place my smaller diameter cups and canteens directly into the fire, and they nestle nicely surrounded by the metal walls. Very fast boil time.One wall has no vent holes, and therefore makes a perfect wind vortex when blowing on the embers.I have cooked my breakfast and supper on this about 8 times so far. I wish this stove had a tiny latch on it, just something to help things stay in place during assembly. At this point i am regretfully planning to retire this stove in favor of the more expensive competitors brand. The reason is that this Keith stove requires SO much handling, that my hands get sooty. Then soot or ash gets on anything i touch. Not acceptable.I love Keith products and want to love this stove. If money is an issue for you, get this but if you can afford it.. get the competitors stove as i plan to do.This stove does a good job, but you have to jump through hoops first. I think this stove is a female.
