What is in the name
The word Package here describes the fact that you have the following elements included:
- The stove body with removable legs and 5 inches (12.7 cm) pipe hole.
- Warming tray.
- Stainless steel water heater.
- Nesting stovepipe, 5 inches (12.7 cm) diameter.
- Spark arrestor.
- Stovepipe damper.
- Grate.
For transportation, all these elements fit nicely inside the stove:
Here is the water tank which fits inside:
The stovepipe comes with everything you need, its diameter is the same as in the Camp Chef Alpine Wood Stove. Here are its elements:
Heating capacity
The manufacturer claims that the stove is suitable for tents with the area in the range 225 – 320 ft² (21 – 28 m²). So this is more than what you have in the Camp Chef Alpine Wood Stove which is built in the same style.
How is this Outfitter Wood Stove Package built
This Outfitter Stove is the second largest in the series of several stoves they build, see the picture below to get some feeling about their sizes:
The top and door are made of 10 gauge (2.59 mm) steel and the rest of the stove body is 12 gauge (2.06 mm) steel and 14 gauge (1.63 mm) steel. The stove is painted with high-temperature black stove paint.
Note that the legs are 12 inches (30 cm) long and 1/2 inch diameter, and they are removable. They screw into couplers that are welded on the body of the stove. On hard surfaces you can tighten or loosen the legs to level the stove properly.
This is a cylinder type as you realize from the name, so the body is a rolled piece of steel, not a barrel or a piece of pipe. The top is with welded braces underneath it to keep the cooking surface flat.
The stove has fittings on both sides where you can attach a water tank and warming tray, so you can combine them as it suits you best.
The door is a square frame welded to the inside to keep it flat. They claim that with such a rounded cylinder the stove expands and contracts uniformly and without any warpage in the body of the stove. They also claim that the stove can keep the fire up to 10 hours, you have to shut the damper down for such a long burn.
You might want to know that this stove is built in the mountains of Central Utah.
Who is it for
Weight-wise, the whole package is very heavy with its 92 lb (41.7 kg) of weight. Note that this is the same as the weight of Timberline Wood Stove Package. On the other hand, the stove alone with legs weighs 62 lb (28.1 kg) and this is lighter than the Camp Chef Alpine Stove.
The packed size is very good, you will see the stove size below. But it is larger than the other two stoves mentioned above.
Capacity-wise, you have seen the statements by the manufacturer given in the text above. So this stove can heat larger tents than its competitors.
But in any case, this stove needs a car for transportation. Pity they did not add some handles or a carry bag.

Was wondering what you thought of using firebrick in stoves. I own a semi heavy metal stove called the little bear. Pretty sure thats it. Its a smaller square stove with glass in the door. I use it in a 8X8 canvas tent made by a company in Quebec. I use fire brick in it. It does not add a lit of weight. But I think it makes a big difference. I burn engineered logs. I usualky bring one box of them slong. Between them and wood I cut up I am usually good for three days. I put two engineered logs in at 2000 at night and they are still burning at 0800 in the morning. I have done this in -40C and could only stand to use a thin blanket for sleeping. I enjoy it so much.

Hi Roy, what you describe sounds simply great, with two logs you have a pleasantly heated tent all the night. It cannot be better. I cannot say how much a firebrick contributes to all this, but it clearly makes no harm, so I would not change anything in your practice.
