Firebox question

  • Come along to the amazing Summer Moot (21st July - 2nd August), a festival of bushcrafting and camping in a beautiful woodland PLEASE CLICK HERE for more information.
sorry i havent seen it before but looking at it, apart from being maybe a little small (although perfect for solo use), it looks excellent certainly something id been keen on hearing more about too. Pricey agreed but if it lasts it could be a longterm friend
 
Looks great (sorry don't have one, so not speaking from experience) but as with most of the more 'natural' ways of heating/cooking they are not exactly brilliant for the quick cuppa while en route. That would be the biggest downside for me. I only want to carry one method of cooking if I am travelling light. But for once you are at your site...I would think this would be a marvellous way to cook.

It seems no one here has one of those so I decided to go and see it in real life-from the very nice people at Woodland Edge- it is very well built and designed , much easier to assemble and performs better than the honey stove but not as 'roaring heat' as my Bushbuddy though , heavier of course, solid steel construction-
The chimney works very well- this stove lit very fast- and the option of top steel plate or grill makes for easy toast or brew.
For me the weight was not an issue-
Heartily recommended and for just a few quid more than the honeystove, it's no contest and a worthwhile investment as will deffo last longer.
I cooked on it with the top plate and chimney removed with a large pot and it was fine- direct heat- for slower cooking/keeping coffee hot , use the top plate-
I also cooked some bannock on top and that workled a treat too.
weight= 1.9 kgs without the bag

Ive had one, and sold it on. There is no doubting the quality, but the big minus points for me were,
very heavy for its weight,
and too small.

a few quid? its almost double the price of the honey stove. doesnt seem worth them money to me, i cant see it performing any differently to the honey stove and if someone really wanted one it looks like a simple enough design to make.

but thats just my opion
