Wild Stove’s Wood gas stove MK II

[Bucephalas]

Well it's a dog eat dog world I suppose.

If the clone performs as good as the genuine one then it'll be good value. It's by far the best woodgas stove I've used/seen.

Was there any import tax on that?

they usually declare low value, ive seldom had to pay it on personal imports from china. It was a nightmare actually getting them to declare the right value on business imports. you should be fine but never say never.

Hey Paul I never got to see the tripod you told me about. Is it something you used with your WWstove.

 

[ex-member BareThrills]

yea here are some pics. it all stores inside the stove

works extremely well with the alpkit 750 mug as it sits down low inside so no wind problems.

edit, stove can be used on its own too and i made a simmer ring from half a can bottom. burns for 30 mins so great for your sausages in the morning too

 

[Johnnyboy1971]

Cheers Paul, looks like your burner holes are on the inside of the lip. Would this work with the Trangia burner.

Oh forgot to say I got the TiGoat stove and the leg assembly is way better than the Kifaru.

 

[ex-member BareThrills]

yea the burner holes are angled inwards and on a slight angle to make a vortex, its the most efficient vent setup ive found. It does work with a trangia but the pot stand has to be higher and its less efficient fuel wise. ive got an evernew ti burner on the way and will test that with it too.

be interested to see some pics of the tigoat in action, ive now received new beefed up legs from seek outside for mine but not had chance to play yet. they are much thicker so im hopeful it will now be ok

 

[Johnnyboy1971]

So far I'm impressed withit but its got a big downside. The feed hole at the front is only 3" so trying to get fuel in is awkward. I mainly bought it so I can use the measurments to build my own, then can make the adjustments to suit.

 

[ex-member BareThrills]

Yea thats a small opening. The seek outside has a sliding door that is most of the width of the stove so pretty good.

 

[Johnnyboy1971]

That would be my choise too but I guess they have to make design changes to avoid copyright.

I ordered the China clone of the slightly older wild stove, the one with older style pot supports. It was on sale for USD 18.80 + shipping and there were just a couple of them left. Now the listing is updated and does not show how many there are left in stock and I got a message just now from the seller saying they are out of stock and apparently will not be able to send out any stoves until they (someone) makes more of them.

Updating scam alert level to yellow. It did say 20 days to prepare shipping though. We'll see.

Both of mine have been dispatched. Have you asked for a refund or are you sitting tight?

 

[Köld]

I think I will wait for it. Maybe I should look into how long buyers have to get a refund using the aliexpress buyer protection. Lots of info about that here.

 

[ZEbbEDY]

i got the same email

[ result of the recent shipments increasing demand, our company is now out of stock goods.We are already in production, please be patient.Caused you inconvenience please forgive me! Thank you!

 

[ex-member BareThrills]
