I just received my FireAnt stove and was surprised that the weight was well over the 79 grams (2.8 ounces) advertised. With all six pieces in the case the weight is 129 grams (4.5 ounces). I thought I might have misread the specs but even just the four sides (without the esbit or bottom burner plates) it weighs 87 grams (3.1 ounces). Did I just get a "heavy" unit? Where did the weight on the website come from?

KBabioneKbabione I came with the same weight so I wonder what the issue was. And for ~$58 It was the WRONG weight and you have to sand it down before you use it... I am not sure this is a mistake or what but I think I maybe returning mine

HSVJerryHey guys, thanks for bringing up this discrepency between advertised and actual weight. The total weight difference (8 grams) is not huge, but it is nearly 10% difference as the stove is quite light. I have this stove and weighed it (4 sides with burner plate) right now and it came out at 85 grams - a bit lighter than you two, but still not what Emberlit claims. I've contacted them to ask about this and will let you know what I find out. @KBabione @HSVJerry

DannyMilksThanks for following up - I had understood that the 79 grams was all 6 pieces of the stove. I understand the case is extra.

DannyMilksSince this stove is being offered again did you ever hear anything back from Emberlit regarding the weight discrepancy? In the case my stove (all 6 pieces) weighs 129 grams. I'd love to know what is supposed to weigh 79 grams.

KBabioneHey guys, sorry for the delayed response. I did ask Emberlit about this and their answer seems legitimate. I mean, they're a small company and variances are probably greater there than a big brand like Snow Peak or Kovea. Anyways, here is their response, which is now stated in slightly more detail on their website too: "Due to metal industry standards, the raw materials can come to us in a thickness plus or minus 3/1000 inch. This gives the stove a know average weight of 2.8 oz, it can vary up to 25 percent. We are working to get this information updated on our website. Please have your customers contact us if they are dissatisfied with their purchase and we will do everything we can to make it right with them.
