Well.. not really.
To make carbon fiber you take one form of sequestered carbon (oil product) and turn it into another form of sequestered carbon (fiber). But along the way you need to process that oil to make the fiber via manufacturing and that generates a carbon footprint.
Wood pellets are also a form of sequestered carbon (trees) but when you burn them you release that carbon into the atmosphere (CO2). That CO2 will eventually be sequestered again by plants via photosynthesis but you can't say using a wood stove is carbon neutral. Everytime you use it you are creating a (small) carbon footprint.

It burns, sort of. Maybe it is just the resin burning off. I would not recommend it for your portable wood stove.
Even if it is carbon neutral.

I agree it's a matter of degrees but that is how the process works and how footprints are measured. It's the release of greenhouse gasses (primarily CO2) during the manufacturing phase, whether it's manufacturing a product (CF) or heat to cook food (wood pellets). Carbon neutral would be to use a solar oven, for example. No release of CO2.
As someone said: bicycle riders are already pretty low on the polluting scale to be worried about CF or wood pellet stoves in that way.

I'll admit that the carbon footprint of your cooking method while camping is interesting, but I don't see how it makes much difference. If one cooking method makes twice as much pollution as another, that doesn't necessarily mean it's unthinkably dirty. There is so much we do in ordinary life that makes more pollution. Perhaps the fact that bike camping is something we don't do often is the reason we're thinking about the differences. If you live in a city or suburb, chances are you have a central heating system in your home, and that uses a whole lot of fuel, probably fossil fuel.

Yep, anyone's cooking method really has a very minuscule impact on the environment, whether it be an empty canister being discarded or wood begin scavenged.

@Trakhak, that's right, though living in such high density, the air is pretty bad to breathe. It's a lot better than when I was a kid, as environmental laws have improved things a lot. But we go out to the country often, and the difference is very noticeable.
Burning wood in cities is illegal, for good reason, but it makes sense in rural areas. It's one of the most popular home heating fuels in our rural area. Our house has a pellet burning stove which is a little more efficient than wood.

The carbon comes from fossil fuels and instead of being burned and added to the earth's atmosphere it is turned into carbon fiber and into a bicycle, a solid form of carbon.
The small wood burning camp stove takes wood pellets, wood which would normally be discarded. so it is truly carbon neutral.

If too much carbon is removed from the cycle...either through burying the carbon or through the formation of calcium carbonate...it can be just a detrimental as having too much carbon. The planet cools and plant growth slows which reduces the carbon in the atmosphere which leads to more cooling, etc. The Little Ice Age that occurred from 1300 to about 1600 may actually have been caused by the increase in plant growth caused by the Black death in the early part and the death of native peoples in the Americas in the latter part. No one was clearing fields and plant growth was rampant, sucking up too much carbon and causing cooling on a global scale.
The carbon fiber is made by polymerizing the the acrylonitrile at elevated temperatures and then carbonizing the polymer at 1000°C (1800°F) which is, again, too high a temperature for energy from renewable sources.
And, from personal experience, I can tell you that the smell from burning that part in the video was horrible. I worked on trying to recycle carbon fiber briefly and it was one of the worst jobs I've ever worked on.
I agree it's a matter of degrees but that is how the process works and how footprints are measured.

You are arguing matters of degrees again. And, I have said the degrees are small. Burn enough wood though and you would create a carbon footprint worth considering. We don't (consider it) because fossil fuels drive most of our infrastructure instead. Start clear cutting major biomass to heat, power industry, all vehicles etc... and burning it faster than it can be re sequestered and it would be a problem. Somewhere around the late Victorian era we got off that track and heavily dependent on fossil fuels (though coal was always around).
In the 70's we had a chance to change with the oil embargo when alternative energy began to be explored and smaller import cars exploded on the N.A. scene. However, we collectively failed and reverted back once oil became available and cheap once more.
But, again, I don't think twigs in a wood stove are a concern.

Some even grow fast enough...bamboo, kenaf and switchgrass, for example...that they sequester a fair amount of the excess from fossil fuels.
I certainly agree. Even a butane canister or two isn't much of a concern in the grand scheme of things. It's a literal drop in an ocean of air.

I agree that probably most regular bicycle riders already have made an adjustment that most other people haven't.
As far as carbon footprint goes. It's a term that describes greenhouse gas emissions (CO2) released into the atmosphere. Doesn't relate to the source. To close the loop and be carbon neutral, a wood burning stove user would have to plant as many trees to trap CO2 as they create by burning. Otherwise, it's not neutral.
That's just the way it is. That's why businesses can buy "carbon offsets" to reduce their footprint without reducing their output.

I have a stove just like the OP. I bought it as a curiosity, and maybe winter camping (melting snow). It works well enough and the flame looks cool. I've only tried it twice. It does need constant feeding and I had a a little trouble keeping air flow at first but was doing better on the second try. Vargo makes a cool ti stove with a door. It shows up on Massdrop once in a while.

is bicycling not better for the environment than basically everything else you could be doing other than maybe reading library books?

Probably. I don't know if it's true, but I have read that a human on a bicycle is more efficient than any form of locomotion, including anything in the animal kingdom. Too bad fuel (edible food) costs so much more per calorie than fossil fuel, but fossil fuel is underpriced since by using it, we are borrowing from our ancestors and our descendants. We should jack up the price so we reduce our consumption.

Was camping near Cuddebackville, NY, which is on U.S. 209 east of Port Jervis, NY, last September during a bike tour. On a back road off 209 you can still see part of the former D&H Canal. No water in it, and it's all grown over, but it's there.

the D&H Canal Co. later went on to the become the Delaware & Hudson Railway Company.

Heh. During my trip I camped at Mills Norrie S.P. in Staatsburg then crossed the bike/ped bridge and headed through New Paltz and SW. That stretch paralleling the Wallkill is gorgeous.

I just ordered pretty much he same Solo knockoff made by Lixada for about the same price, and IIRC, it comes with the alcohol burner. If not, I have a few different designs of soda can stoves I've made, which should also fit. The benefit overall is that you can carry ~3oz of alcohol and be well supplied to cook a few meals without wood, and can restock cheaply anywhere that carries yellow-bottle HEET fuel treatment, unlike butane canister stoves.
You can also use solid fuel like Esbit, trioxane, or even some firestarter blocks without the alcohol burner, but IMO, they're not as cheap, portable or easily replenished in rural areas as methanol.
Another tip; if you use the Stanley stainless 24oz cook kit, take advantage of the space inside the cups for a mini butane lighter and as many sugar packets as will fit. If you run across some wild edibles that make good tea, you'll be glad to not have to dig around for sugar. I was also able to fit a mini stove made from Red Bull cans and couple of e-cig juice bottles refilled with methanol in there, so I had fuel for at least one boil. Everything for wild bergamot or chamomile tea in one spot, so no need to unpack anything else.

However there are a number of herbaceous plants and trees that grow rapidly enough to be used for energy crops. Switch grass, elephant grass, kenaf, bamboo, flax, hemp, etc all grow very rapidly and can be harvested easily. Trees like poplar and willow grow fast enough to be an energy crop as well.

Why does every conversation have to turn negative? I'm just pointing out that these ideas have been around for a while. We were at this point 40 years ago, saw solutions, didn't take them and here we are again. I'm sure someone will bring up our current malaise 40 years from now too.
But the past is past. There's no need to cry over spilt milk. Some of us saw a problem 40 years ago...that production problem...and did something about it. Some became more dedicated to using less energy like riding bikes and some people became more dedicated to using energy more efficiently. It's not been a bed of roses but it's not a briar patch either. Solar farms, wind farms, less reliance on coal, better energy efficiency in home power uses, etc. all come from those people who did something about the problem of energy production. It's not perfect but we are further down the road than we were 40 years ago. I know because I've been at the front lines of that fight for most of those 40 years.
As far as carbon footprint goes. It's a term that describes greenhouse gas emissions (CO2) released into the atmosphere. Doesn't relate to the source. To close the loop and be carbon neutral, a wood burning stove user would have to plant as many trees to trap CO2 as they create by burning. Otherwise, it's not neutral.
A wood stove burner doesn't have to plant as many trees as they use because the trees are already growing. Removal of trees can actually promote more tree growth. As long as the forest isn't completely removed, burning a few trees isn't that devastating. Fire is, after all, part of the life cycle of forests and, without it, the forests can't grow that well.
Not that there is currently a carbon market where carbon offsets are bought and sold, but they are reducing their petroleum and/or fossil carbon output.
