How long does it take to boil water on a wood-burning camp stove?

Reviewer consensus

Across the reviewers we read, expect 8 to 12 minutes for a liter of water on a gasifier stove like the Solo Stove Lite or BioLite, assuming dry fuel and active feeding of small sticks. That's significantly slower than a canister stove, and specialist subreddit threads consistently flag wood consumption and ongoing tending as the main daily friction.
