Hi all,
I recently treated myself to a Firebox Stove and got out with it for the first time today.
So far I’m really pleased with it - it’s lightweight, easy to set up (especially with cold fingers).
It’s got a nice big top opening so you can easily get your lit tinder in without it going out or scraping your hands.
It burns well and uses a little less fuel than an open fire.
There is a side port to load in small branches and large twigs and there is still plenty of space to top load.
The “firesticks” which come with the stove can be inserted in a multitude of ways for different sized pots and pans.
I went for a simple option of slotting them in just above the top to rest my pathfinder cup to boil some water for a coffee.
It burns down pretty quick when you leave it alone and if I had been staying for any more than a coffee I would have needed to prep a lot more wood in advance or be running back and forth with the more readily small sticks.
For stainless if cools pretty quickly letting you pack up and be on the move.
My goal is to get out more this year and I think this Stove will make a good excuse to get out.
Next plan is to find a nice spot for an afternoon and use the stove to cook lunch and have a brew.
