they are really pretty easy to make, it seems a fairly pricey venture.

i'd suggest you get yourstuff shipped by usps, united states postal service. it's a lot cheaper than ups. a dozen of those stoves would fit in a shoe box and cost about ten bucks to post, not fifity. :shock: :twisted:

here's an early version of my home made ultralight dual fuel trangia set.

the sophisticated potstand has been replaced with a simple ring of disposable barbeque grill. fully adjustable to suit the burner or pot size.

cheers, and.

How do I get the money to you ?

Thanks
Jon.

>they are really pretty easy to make, it seems a fairly pricey venture.<

Thats what I was thinking, I noticed the website I put forward to the Group has been mentioned several times, but still people would rather buy one??
A couple of cans of beer, drink the beer make a stove???

OK, sent me the beer I'll make the stoves

12 cans = 1 stove

Here's a setup I took backpacking in the spring. Worked beautifully. Easy to make. Anymore, I mostly use esbit.

I agree with bothyman, they are very easy to make. I made a mini red bull one in a couple of mins including necking the red bull with just my leatherman. the second one took longer but that could have been vodka ;-)

For instructions I posted the link to an improvised stove site in the resources section but here it is again:

Yup, I have one of those. There was a thread about it floating somewhere, not sure if it's still up.

Basically it's a slightly heavy but rather clever box, quite stable and good when the fire gets going. I found that it works better to get things lit before putting the fire in the box in still conditions, or else the flame tends to sputter and suffocate. The main potential problem is the slightly cranky hinge design, which requires careful folding. Ultimately I'd say that these are not essential - you can make your own hobo stove out of a tin, after all - but I'm happy enough with mine.

I have one, actually two, yes they are a little heavy but that just means that you don't have to be careful with them. I haven't compared directly but looks to me that would not be any heavier than the small gas stove and fuel/tank. I like it very much, a hand full of sticks will get water boiling in short order. The second on is in my car kit.

Has anyone considered covering the back of a reflector with kaowool? That would really boost the insulation for only a small weight penalty.

WOW - How old is this thread? A real blast from the past!

But.... yeah I have one. (gear nut ....Me?)

Try this website

And make your own :idea:

Now THAT is a damned good website!

The Nimblewill Nomad Stove is a particularly good one to make. Can burn wood, and also makes for a good wind screen/pot stand for use with alcohol stoves.

Anyone seen/tried one of these?

As it happens I am 2-3 weeks away from releasing a wood burning & multifuel stove 'The Honey Stove' to replace the folding cooker which has been very popular over at BPL these last couple of years.

This stove is made from stainless steel, burns organic matter and is specifically designed to work with most (if not all) meths stoves on the market. It also works effectively with hexamine tabs and nite light candles.

It packs small and flat, and weighs in at approx 350g (it depends on how many parts you need for your use) I'm hoping it will be equally as popular with the bushcraft, kayak, paddling and hiking users.

Are there any regular bushcraft users here who would like to have one to field test and report back with any suggestions, as soon as I have the first batch arrive? If so please drop me a PM and I'll add you to the specialist 'field trials' list I'm compiling.

Although not the 'wood gas' stove we originally wanted to make, this is a UK designed and manufactured product and we would really like to 'fly what's left of the flag', if we can.

Does any one know of a place to get the folding cooker? i have found a few online sites that list it but all say they are out of stock.

 

[scanker]

I would have said http://www.trekdirect.co.uk/acatalog/Pocket_Cooker.html but the whole site seems to say "catalogue suspended" at the moment. Could be worth dropping them an email. I've used them in the past, and the service has been good.

Hi Gleams, i make a flat pack wood burner, pm me if interested.
