Possibly...I've been thinking about one of these for some time. Problem may be import duty /VAT if several stoves are sent as one package. I understand from the supplier that individual purchases sometimes get through without additional charges, and sometimes don't.

Has anyone done a group buy for the bush buddy woodgas burning stove as I wanted to purchace one and wanted to know if anyone else was interested
http://www.bushbuddy.ca/

I was thinking about one of these but found them a tad expensive..

However I think this is the same thing, and being in the netherlands and in the eu you would probabaly be better off with regard to importe duties..

these are 69 euros with no tax problems as apposed to 100 Dollars and possibley paying import tax..

Not sure if they are the same though!

In Holland you can buy goods up to 175 euro from the US without paying import taxes.

That would be great I got a e mail back from the company today the price goes down when you order over 5 items unfortunately they are not shipping to the UK or over seas markets until after june july time I personally need one before that so if you send me a note to say what it will cost you to send one to the uk I'll send you the cost beforehand and I can try it before we make a group buy
Thanks for your help

I've just got a Bushbuddy and used it for the first time last week. Works a treat and uses very little fuel (I boiled a pint of water in 9 minutes-ish using pencil-thick twigs and some birch bark). If the Dutch version is a copy then it looks a good bet.

BTW: I find the the "speed" figures for different heating methods a bit of a false trail. Some gas or alcohol stoves boil quicker than others but use the same or even more fuel to do so - how is this comparable? With a real fire stove you just wait. Who's in a hurry anyway?

Mmm well he told me that they have no stock right now at all this is going to be replenished in August. Right after a bush craft meeting in the UK.. So my guess is that somewhere in the UK somebody else is selling them.. I will give this guy another call in August and see what happens.. sorry about the delay orum has been unavailable for me for a number of days.. not sure why..
