About this project

Ember is a folding titanium stove that burns twigs, pinecones and wood pellets. A small fan, powered by the stove’s own heat, makes the fire burn hot and nearly smokeless, so it boils a liter of water in about five minutes.

It folds flat to the size of a phone and weighs 9 ounces. No fuel canisters to buy, carry or throw away.

Risks and challenges

Production is finished and shipping is under way. Remaining risks are carrier delays and customs for international backers.

Rewards are made after funding, so delivery dates are estimates. If a creator can’t deliver, they’re expected to explain why and try to make it right, but refunds aren’t guaranteed.
