New Stove - Wildo Wood Burning

[spader]

Hi All

A couple of days ago, a new stove ordered online has arrived. I set it up in the corner of the back garden in front of the Patrol tent. Gave a first burn, and it seems working great. The stove is very well made with heavy steel. Even the flues are solid hard steel. It was giving lot of heat, and boiled a pan of water very quickly.

Just in time for the cold weather.

Nice one.

Thanks Martin.

Yes, preparing for the cold weather due soon. Thinking of putting it into the shed.

Nice stove, where did you order it from? Is it secured to the ground somehow, or could it be knocked over?

I want but I mustn't, I really mustn't.

Thats a cracking bit of kit for the right money too, I think one may be getting a home in our caravan here is a link.

It was from the good ole eBay. I did not secure it, as it might be moved about from the corner of the garden to shed and patio ...etc time to time. But the stove is longish and heavy, I was able to place a couple of heavy bricks / stones on one end of the stove while burning, it has plenty space to put pans or bowls on the other corner, and it seems secure - does not budge or move about. Also levelling the stove well on the ground seem critical for stability. I used builders spirit level to level it at the new location of the stove - the corner of the shed now.

Good fun & a great item - highly recommended. Since getting this stove, I seem waiting cold weather badly.

I've been using one for two years now, solid bit of kit

Thanks for the pointer. .5 of a M winging its way to me. Whole lot cheaper than the mil mart extra pieces.

Looks a good bit of kit that. I also see you are a fellow Star Gazer, same here, also in Scotland !

Good being able to combine the hobbies.

My best camping buddy has fitted a steel grate to raise the fire bed about 2 inches which means we can burn smokeless fuel with worrying about the hot coals eating into the base (no problem if you just burn wood). May not seem 'bushcrafty' using smokeless fuel but if your on a trip where wood is scarce/want to conserve resources or on a winter camp, a 20kg bag of smokeless will do you a weekend. Just make sure you set the lumps on a bed of nice glowing embers.

Thank you. Glad to meet the fellow astronomer here.
I feel that Bushcraft and Star gazing compliment each other sometimes. If we take scopes to remote dark area over night trying to avoid light pollution in towns, we need to practice some Bushcraft skills.

Looks cool. Tasty grub on a nicely aged and weathered looking stove .

While taking this vid with my phone, the heat from the stove was so intense, I thought the phone was melting. It was utterly hot. I worried, if the phone was fried, and will not work again. But surprisingly, it was OK. Lesson learnt - don't go too close to burning stove with phones or anything fragile.

The jetex 3 inch flue is too small, sadly. I will use this 3 inch piece on a project stove of mine.

The flue seem working OK now, but I guess larger flue would work more efficiently.
Larger than this, I would imagine it will get heavy weight. Took a vid of flue in action at night.

Hello

Regarding the jetex pipe, I read that the 3 inch is too small, do you know what size fits?
