Trangia Click stand as wood burner

[Pignut]

Anyone tried using the click stand as a wood burner?

I realise it is only small and feeding the fire may be a problem

 

[rik_uk3]

There is a big hole in it and its very small. I can't see the point on this idea to be honest.

............ Point in that if i run out of fuel i can burn wood in a non open fire manner

 

[rik_uk3]

If it warps you may have trouble using it for its intended purpose.

I doubt it'd work to be honest.
You're still basicly going to have an open fire, it'll just have the clickstand in it.
The design is great for a trangia burner, but for solid fuel, wholly unsuitable.

Interesting,

From the Click stand website

"MULTI-FUEL

The Clikstand system was designed specifically for alcohol burners, but it also works well with solid fuels and compatible gas burners. It can even be used as a firebox for small wood fires!

• Alcohol Fuel – renewable, clean burning, safe and easy to transport

• Solid Fuel Tablets – hexamine, Esbit®, etc., lightweight, efficient

• White Gas – high heat output, high efficiency

• Canister Gas – high heat output, high efficiency............etc etc"

I agree it is very small for this purpose!

Is it that it just functions as a wind break rather than any specific qualities though?

 

[Paradiddle]

They probably said that just to add an extra feature to the product. They did says "small" wood fires. It must be for really small twigs. I'd say it's less than ideal.

Why don't you give it a try and see how it goes? I'd much rather use a wood gas stove or a honey stove.

You've answered your own question then, let us know how you get on.

Just wondered if anyone had done it, and wanted to learn from there experience/mistakes. incase as previously mentioned it warps etc

 

[rik_uk3]

Buy one and try, I've got one but won't risk it.

 

[Pignut]

............ I've got one but won't risk it.

As have I, hence the question "Anyone tried using the click stand as a wood burner?"

 

[rik_uk3]

Then we need to both wait for some half wit to give it a bash then.

Ive thought about it as i use one but dont reckon it'll work.
I just use a nimblewell type stove with the trangia burner in it for ease in day and a wood fire in the evening. Best of both worlds.

Mmm might have to revisit the nimblewill

Honey Stove does both doesn't it? Not much help to you I know, but must be similar

Some time ago yes, http://www.bushcraftuk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=22041

Used a stainless steel sink strainer, costing less than a pound, in the trangia hole, not ideal but it does work.
