In the video below, the team from Grand Adventure checks out the Slinky Stove, a seriously unique portable fire pit and cooking stove that’s got us pretty excited.
What exactly is the Slinky Stove™? It’s a portable, collapsible fire pit and cooking stove. Its telescopic design stays intact whether collapsed for travel or fully extended for use.
Let’s break down what makes the Slinky Stove so special:
• Portability: This thing is made for travel. Even the 23-inch model is easy to pack and carry.
• Multiple sizes: They come in different sizes. There is a 23-inch, a 17-inch, and even a tabletop 7-inch model.
• Fuel versatility: You’re not stuck using just one type of fuel. You can use firewood, charcoal, or even wood pellets. How flexible is that?
• Smoke-free burning: Thanks to its smart ventilation design, the Slinky Stove burns hot and virtually smoke-free.
Wow, those are a lot of pluses. As much as I love my Solo Stove, the portability and fuel versatility of the Slinky Stove are definite improvements, especially if you are an RVer.
When you buy a Slinky Stove, you get everything you need to get started:
• The Slinky Stove itself
• A fuel tray
• A cooking grate
• A poker
• A durable storage bag
Are there any downsides?
The shiny stainless steel finish doesn’t last forever. Once it heats up, it will discolor and turn a light gray. It doesn’t affect the function of the stove, but it’s something you should expect.

This looks to be a cool stove, but I just don’t have any more room. None!
Thank you for sharing and summarizing the video, Cheri! This certainly seems superior to our portable fire pit, which is far from smokeless. 😉 I will keep this in mind when our fire pit deteriorates to the point of being replaced. Have a great week and safe travels!
