The racks leave more to be desired. They are 4.5” wide and only about 14” long. Not really drying racks that would be super useful.
I wanted to like this and I gave it a shot but it’s just not for me. I can see using this for a small tent or ice fishing shack.
Here are some dimensions from the manufacturer website:
Dimensions: 17-1/4 inches long, 9-4/5 inches wide (19-1/3 inches with grates) and 16-1/2 inches tall (23 inches with legs extended)
Can use wood up to 16-1/2 inches long and 4 inches in diameter
Door opening is 5-3/4 inches x 4-1/2 inches
Easy setup and only takes a few minutes
Firebox measures 16-3/4 inches long, 9 inches wide and 7-1/2 inches tall

The legs also connect to the firebox via threads that are exposed to ash and heat so tapping those also with WD-40 goes a long way keeping them from getting stuck as well. I hope this helps someone out there because this really is an awesome stove when kept in good condition.

After a couple of uses the front doors rivets started to loosen. I tapped them on each side with two hammers until the rivets were tight again. But all and all very pleased with the weight and function and easy to carry all in one bag. You probably wouldn't want to carry it 20km or anything, but for winter camping in a hot tent, pulling a sled isn't so bad,
Cheers,
Darrell

Fits pretty well in a 80L ruck sack with other stuff such as a tent and food.
It takes roughly ~25-45 minutes to fully burn a load depending on the wood essence. Radiates heat quickly but promptly loses its warmth once combustible is burnt. Putting a few rocks in the bottom could help keep warmth a little bit longer.
Easy to dismount but somewhat tricky to clean if you want to get rid of all the ashes.
