I am going to stick to my Bushbuddy as I have not found anything thats better in gassification stoves.
Wild Stoves Wood gas stove MK II
- Thread starter CBJ
- Start date
I did a side by side. And didn't find the bushbuddy had anything extra to offer. Lighter....but fragile....not as packable either .

I spent two days trying to locate a Wild Stove with the old style of pot stand, I thought that new design looked horribly flimsy, I saw a Youtube review where the guy said it was really fiddly to put on too.
I eventually found one of the old ones brand new on Ebay for £42 delivered, hoping it will arrive today so I can take it out to play
As for the Crusader cup issue, why not just use a piece of 1cm wire mesh for £1 from any garden centre ?

The BB is very light at around 5 oz but it is fairly robust I have had mine from about 2008 and its still going strong it is inside a snow peak cookset, 120 cad still a bit steep even worse if you get hit with duty on top that stings a bit.

I've been looking for a smiley that has its mouth hanging open!
Perhaps Dave would like to come to the Moot with some in his boot and I'll cook him a meal at the Naughty Corner.

Darn it, I ordered the one with square holes because I thought that was the stylish one!!!!
Just a head's up, I ordered one of the Stoves last night after reading through the thread from 'Xiamen', the 'Yoyo-3388'. Same as reported previously by others,
When I asked how long, no reply so far.
In the meantime, realizing it would be some time before I'll have a cloen stove to try on day ski trips, some suggestions after experimenting with melting snow with my alchohol stove tonight at -10C. I placed a silicone baking pad on the snow, and placed the stove and my home-made titanium windscreen on that. I then placed the stove in the Vargo Titanium wood stove, and after adding about 50ml of Heet, lit a parrafin/lint cube beside it to prime it and closed the door on the Varga, and then clipped the windscreen shut. After a minute of the lint firestarter burning, I lit the alchohol in the stove, then put the pot with snow on. I had to refill fuel one more time to melt 1l of snow to a boil, used about 125ml of fuel in total. Did not time it, seemed to take approx 15 minutes. I'm thinking that perhaps a silicone baking sheet may make a good windscreen, and maybe keep a sheet as well for under the stove, or perhaps use a silicone muffin cup to put it in. Again looking on AliExpress I found a seller that had some Silicon mats that may be suitable for less then five bucks.

Quick update, does not appear I can edit the original post. The seller got back today with the information that he had shipped the round holed version that I purchased, whereas my original query about stock was for the cheaper listing that had the square holes. So for anyone else contemplating this, there may be stock after all. In the meantime I'll continue to tackle building a TLUD fan powered one from a wide mouth SS Thermos container.
Just so folks are aware these are still plentiful on ali express and currently going for £16 with free delivery

You could buy a load of them and sell them on a forum for profit.... People don't seem to realise how cheaply these can be obtained for.
