What is the Slinky Stove?
The Slinky Stove is the world’s first patented collapsible, dual-fuel fire pit. Inspired by the mechanics of a Slinky toy, it features an intact telescopic design that expands for a full-sized fire experience and collapses down to an ultra-compact size for easy storage and travel.
What are the dimensions when expanded and collapsed?
When expanded, the Slinky Stove stands 18 inches tall with a premium 23-inch diameter. When you are ready to pack it away, it collapses down to an incredibly portable 6 inches in height.
Does the Slinky Stove require any assembly?
No! The Slinky Stove features a fully intact, one-piece telescopic design. There is absolutely no disassembly required and zero loose parts to worry about losing in the dark. Just grab the handles, expand it in seconds, and you are ready for a fire.
What type of fuel does the Slinky Stove use?
It is a true dual-fuel fire pit. You can burn traditional wood or seamlessly switch over to propane. The hybrid burner system is specifically engineered to optimize combustion for both fuel types without compromising the flame or heat output.
How difficult is it to set up or switch fuels?
Setup takes only seconds. You simply lift the handles, and the patented mechanism expands and locks into place. If you want to switch from a traditional wood fire to a propane setup, you can connect the propane adapter and burner in under 60 seconds.
How much heat does the Slinky Stove produce when using propane?
When connected to the propane burner, the Slinky Stove is a powerhouse. It delivers a massive 50,000 BTU heat output, ensuring you stay warm and get a robust, beautiful flame instantly.
Is the Slinky Stove actually smokeless?
Yes. When burning wood, the Slinky Stove utilizes an engineered double-wall airflow system that creates a cleaner, more efficient burn. This design significantly reduces smoke output compared to a standard campfire, keeping the air clear around your gathering.
Can I use the Slinky Stove during campground fire bans?
Because of its dual-fuel capability, the Slinky Stove is an incredibly adaptable solution. In areas or campgrounds where traditional wood-burning fires are temporarily restricted, you can simply switch to the propane setup, which is frequently permitted during burn bans (always be sure to verify local regulations before lighting).
Who invented the Slinky Stove?
The Slinky Stove was created by founder and inventor Eddie M. Cantelar. During a cross-country RV trip, he realized the need for a real, full-sized campfire experience without the headache of hauling around a bulky, rigid fire pit. Inspired by how a simple Slinky toy expands and compresses, the patented design was born.
What is the fire pit made out of?
The Slinky Stove is built for real-life rugged use and extreme temperatures. It features a heavy-duty, high-temperature stainless steel construction, ensuring it resists warping and rust so you can enjoy it season after season.

Is this a good fit for RVing and camping
