Alpkit Brukit

[faultline]

I missed out on one of these first time around, but have managed to get one when they went back on sale just after Christmas.
£35 delivered 2 days after ordering and I'm very impressed.
It's bigger than I expected and you can easily cook meals in it as well as just boiling up water which in my book is a plus.

I have just used it for the first time, boiling 0.5l water, this was done in the kitchen.
The gas I used was a 100g jetboil jetpower 4 season mix and it went from tapwater temp to a rolling boil in 2.41 mins.

I have read some reviews and some people were reporting boiling times of 7 mins plus so I am very impressed with this, it could be down to the gas I used? Not sure but it was quick!

I also read on other reviews that the neoprene sleeve caused issues, such as not being able to put back in the bag properly and a burning smell when cooking, I have found neither of these things so not sure if this batch of them is an updated version of the original but I cannot fault it at the moment, for £35 it's a steal.

yep mine arrived tuesday of this week my boil time for that amount was 2 mins 32 seconds, at that price you've got to have one and the size is perfect for boil in the bag meals well happy

Yeh I got one of the second batch and I think they've fixed some issues. I got a rolling boil in 2:31 using a 450g cartridge. Mine also fits perfectly in the bag. Its a total win. ☺

impressive, but just can't justify one more stove (well at the moment anyway lol) thanks for sharing.

2 mins 20s for mine. 1/2 litre. Well pleased and will probably replace my gas converted Trangia for most jobs

Just discovered this place when I walked by it with my dogs this afternoon. Checked out the website and wondered if the stove was any good.
Will have a wander in tomorrow and check out the rest of their kit.

Its a great bit of kit for the price, I recently got one and have taken it out on a few bimbles around the woods and it works fantastically and I never had any issues with boiling times or melting smells. The Brukit seemed to cool down nice and quick so easily able to put it away when packing up.

I would love it if they made a smaller version as it is a beast.

I was also playing with another new toy a camcorder when testing my Brukit so filmed the brukit in use.

You bu99ers have just cost me £35.

Last I checked they had no stock so I could justify walking away, this time though.....

anyone know if there's an adaptor or hose to take the bigger (de-icer aerosol) size bottles?

Is this what you were meaning?

There are loads on ebay. Most are from china and about £2. The ones from the uk tend to be around £8

Tank. Nice video thanks. Nice music too.

Birthday coming up so I think one of these is on the list. Cheers

 

[Tim_B]

These look really good - I have often wondered how I would get on with a jetboil, this just makes it cheaper to find out I am currently in the nesting cup camp with a GSI, Stanley cookset & Guyot designs bottle with a trangia. So do people nest the water in the brukit/jetboils or carry it seperately?

thanks
Tim

 

[DocG]

Helpful video - gave idea of actual size of the stove.

Thanks for taking the time to make it and then share it.

All the best.

Not that one Mike. Thanks though.

I had in mind a hose to take the supply from a larger bottle.
my Brukit has arrived and I sorted it with a screw on adaptor that has fold out feet. The only issue is that you can only use a hose adaptor with its own shot off/throttle valve as the bottle inevitably lays down.
This laying down tries to feed liquid gas to the stove which overwhelms it. Turn the bottle feed right down, nearly off in fact, then the expansion has time to happen in the hose. Cheap gas, full power, more stability on such a tall pot.
Winner.
Pics to follow.

 

[Phil B]

Stove lit here, note red glow on igniter. The bottle valve is all but off, and it's flat out. I think in time the hose would get very cold (latent heat of evaporation) so maybe below zero use is not ideal.

Neat, small, packs down with the burner in the pot.
I like it.

 

[Phil B]

Solution. I'll make a packable clip on collar to raise the neck of the tall bottle to eliminate the issue. :-D

 

[Phil B]

In use

The simple shape made from Kydex scraps. Molded to the same diameter of the mug for the following reason;

There's a neoprene loop in the fabric for some reason I don't know. Handy.
Stove works as advertised, now with many more gas options and cheaper prices.

I also ordered a gas adaptor as suggested by Mike earlier, £2.85 delivered, even more options when that lands.
Result.

That looks great - I'm waiting for the jetboil minimo to hit the UK market before I push the button on either.

yep I also pulled the trigger on the brukit, fantastic price, been fancying a jetboil for a while, but could never justify paying the price, for the sake of a couple of minutes boil time a third of the cost, BARGAIN!

 

[widu13]

The loop on these and JBs is for a spoon handle to be placed into so that you don't have to put it on the ground.

I was seriously unimpressed with mine...it went back.

Ah, that loop now makes sense. Thanks.

As to the stove, maybe it's a quality consistancy issue, I'm stoked with mine mate.
