Not using any sort of wood stove at the moment. The countryside down this way is tinder dry!
I have a bushbuddy I like to use.
Purely by being a round cutlery drainer I find mine awkward to pack, so usually carry a cheap folding square stove that has the benefit of holding my trangia style burner. I do use it for wood during the summer when I find dry pine cones.
Otherwise the Kelly kettle gets used year round

Funnily enough I was clearing out the shed last week, and not only did I find my hobo stove, but a Swedish army set up, a trangia set up and a Swiss stove too 
Couldn't resist playing
Was told that I was a 'big kid' and the kettle was on

Twas but a passing fad, I have gone back to the old swiss volcano stove.
I still use mine, an old s/s coffee jar. Works well.
On our latest trip to Finland The flat pack hobo stove proved mighty useful for brew stops. Definitely worth the space in the bag.
my grandson as started scouts and they did fire lighting last week cant wait to hand it down to him he loves everything bush craft
Yep.
My old cutlery drainer does the job very well. It nests perfectly inside my zebra billy (12cm?) with room inside for an alcohol burner (pop can) and tinder bits.
As a 1 person set up, I've been using it for years, it works very well for me. I'll adapt it one day to improve the burn, maybe.
An old ss bicycle spoke poked through the holes supports my Crusader mug.
They're that sturdy I've used it with a Dutch oven too!
Pulled out of someone's recycling bin it was my favourite price.

Mines still about the place. Perhaps we need a hobo-a-thon?
You are. The wood gasifier stove has a ’twin’ wall and is more complicted to make and use than a hobo stove.
Hobo -a-ton at the moot.... who's in and what day?
