Thank you Happy Camper for the review. We really apprecite your feedback.
Here are some remarks regarding the points you mentioned in your review.
1) The legs are desinged to be simple and functional and also light weight. The height of the legs is limited by the fact that they need to be folded underneath the stove body.
2) The flue pipes are made of thin stainless steel for being light in weight and also to get hot/cold very quickly. So at the start of fire they get hot soon after the fire has been started creating the draft for efficient combustion. They also cool down quickly at the end. They are design to tight fit together. Normally they shoudn't have any problem when taking them apart. Please do not press the flue pipes together when stacking them.
3) When placing the water tank on the top surface positions, please do not push it too much forward (/or backward) to make it super firm in place. Allow it a little bit to be loose. That gives it room for possible thermal expantion.
If you have any questions pleaes contact us.
Happy Camping.
