My new wood stove.

[Graham_S]

I was out and about last weekend, down at one of the shopping malls in Saudi Arabia, where I currently live/work.

While I was in Saco World (a bit like B&Q) I was wandering around the BBQ section.
It’s starting to cool down a bit, so it’ll be BBQ season soon.

Anyway I spotted an interesting wood stove on a shelf.
On closer inspection, it seemed to be a gasifier stove, but bigger than I’d seen before.

It’s quite big.
I took it out for a test burn this morning, and with a small handful of kindling, it went up like a jet engine on reheat.

It’s a little heavy for backpacking, and it’s too big for a mug or a small pot, but it’s tremendous fun.
I just wonder what would happen if I put a Kelley kettle on top of it…..

I’ve given it another burn.

It boiled a pan of water in around 2 minutes.

I might give it a go with some charcoal.
That might be interesting.

That does look good Graham

It was very sooty on that burn, which I put down to the fact that the wood was local, and a bit resinous. I have other wood, which is from larger logs that I split down than burns far more cleanly. I noticed that it burned very hot.

Yeah, like the look of that!

That’s a pretty cool looking stove!

Could probably heat a wok up to real wok temperatures.

Are things like that cheap or expensive in Saudi?

I'm going to have to dig out my old gasifier for next year but that is a big looking stove. I think mine fits the MSR 775 ml pot inside.

That really looks like a nice option for out here in Texas (USA).

I saw a review of one of these on YouTube, it looks brilliant and so easy to use, cant make up my mind between one of these or a jetboil, it makes my Trangia look a bit weedy!

Just checked out Amazon for one of these the £23 one looks the same, not quite as big, which is a bonus for me and will do the job!
