All,
Just thought I would put up some notes on my new Honey Stove from www.backpackinglight.co.uk.
Product Details
Name: The Honey Stove 09
Where: http://www.backpackinglight.co.uk/product397.asp
Price: £34.99 + P&P
Total Weight: 339g
I'll keep this short as the pictures I have taken on my iPhone are nothing short of shocking (better ones to follow).
First off I want to save this this thing is amazing. Yeah I have seen other folding cookers, like this one (http://www.amazon.com/Innovative-Products-Foldable-Pocket-Cooker/dp/B000HR95NO - I actually want one of them as well) that are cheaper, but they all lack the versitility of the Honey stove.
Okay so lets go through it.
It comes in a very nice pouch made of cordura, solidly stitched and quite light.
There are...
I have to admit the first comment a mate of mine made when I got it out of the box was "WOW, you've bought meccano!" which upset me a little because it was my new toy, but he wasn't wrong - it did look that way.
Luckerly assembly took over about 1 minute (in the kitchen first time, about 2 min in the field, again first time) so don't be put off. These are just slotted together like so...
Here you can also see the stripped down 4 sided method for a Trangia burner.
Field Test
I live in suburbs of Brighton, no a lot of forests, so off to the local copse for tea!
On the way through the copse, I gathered about a handful of tinder.
Once I foudn a good spot, I assembled the stove.
The pot on top is a Millets duo cook kit - £5.99 (also get two cups!)
My mate couldn't beleive how easy it was to manage, and actually how efficent it was (1 litre of water took about 7 minutes).
Other shot - From backpacking light
Works with almost any pot/cup
Can be used with multiple burners and fuels, including wood
Full setup with Trangia burner mount (included)
Also great for a 1 man bacon sarnie bbq!
So there you have it. Not the cheapest stove, but extremely well made, and very versitile.
If you have any questions, please let me know.
Mike
