Burn basket fell through the top half last night. I had noticed when I was running on pellets that there had been a curtain of flame coming up from the rim of the burn basket where air was coming up the side. Shouldn't need any more than a wee tweak/flare with a pair of pliers to prevent it...

Took a 10" log from the wood store, cut it in half (5") and chopped one half to finger-sized kindling. Stacked vertically in the stove and set light with a bit fire log and some shavings (then later a pinch of pellets and a bit meths) - that took about 20 minutes to full flame. 800g ash...

I usually leave home with the wee stove already packed with softwood pellets for the first burn so I did a wee boil-test comparison between the two, filling the burn baskets level with pellets and lighting each with a wee chunk of fire log. Sheltered, but not flat calm. Large: 500g pellets in...

The pot stand bounces a little - it has a flat, circular flange at its base that nests down on top of the stove with the load then bearing on the inner diameter of that flange, if you can picture what I mean - might not be too hard to find a way to mod. Edit: actually, it's not as bad as I'd...

Arrived today, I'm quite excited... can't upload a photo but it's well bigger, stands 9 inches with the pot stand. Should take the big camp kettle no bother. Edit: picture in my avatar for comparison against the wee one

Cheers, Macaroon. Will do. Yes, that's the one - size "D". It appears on eBay, banggood, aliexpress also. Seemed a decent price for a step up in size of this kind of stove. Still don't know if they're copied or new, or how long they've been around at 17cm. Might open up some larger...

I've had a couple of 13cm stoves for a few years - the ones which you can't really fuel with a pot on top. I found out recently about Flame Genie and the Solo Bonfire, and so made my own one for the garden out of an old kick stool and the kitchen bin. I've seen slightly taller "pattern" 13cm...

Hi. Newbie here. I'm hoping to arrive on Saturday, late afternoon or early evening, and leaving by Sunday lunch. Just me and a not-very-big rucksack. Don't cancel!! :D :D
