Wild Stoves Wood gas stove MK II
- Thread starter CBJ
- Start date
I tried a similar mat with my WildWoodGas stove and it left a scorch mark underneath.

I've also had a scorch on concrete with it. In that thread DigiTracker suggested a biscuit tin which seems like a good idea. I'm hunting round for one the right size at the moment.
I'd be great to be able to leave no trace at all, not even scorched stones.

For the scorching I have used the small bowl/plate that comes with the zebra billy to stand mine on. You could stand it in but may effect the draw of air.
Tamarack are going to launch a ti woodgas stove soon. Video on the homepage. 18 mins for 500ml is poor but it would be a good indicator that its a pleasant stove to cook on

Mine has arrived, albeit packed in a Royal Mail "item arrived damaged" bag. The stove wasn't damaged but the thin packaging pretty well destroyed.
No doubt it's a far cry in quality from my legit stove but should perform well.
Paul, my fishing rod arrived today too. Does yours fit together ok!
The last section of mine doesn't fit at all.

make sure you have all the pieces out mate its easy to miss one as they are so small. Happened to me first time i assembled
That looks very much like something I've seen before. I think it was called the Bush Buddy. I copied it when making my home made job. The Tamarack cooker in the link would probably have been much faster had he been using a decent wind shield. The holes at the bottom are very susceptible to wind as these cookers are all about air flow. It'll be a decent cooker.

As in the china clone or the British (ehm ...) sold one?
50 GBP incl shipping still seems steep does it not? 50 USD would have been more sensibe IMO. Not exactly rolex quality materials and workmanship is it?
And I have been informed the clone I ordered has now been shipped from the land of the paper tigers.
+ edit OMG a British? titanium clone of the US/Chineese solo stove that is a replica of the Canadian bush buddy stove. I wonder how much it will cost. Not that I can afford one regardless, but still. Very chic. Maybe even more so than the ti-version caldera cone.

They are £13 delivered from amazon in the uk. The quality of the carbon layup is very good and the lined guides look fine. Its not a high end rod but will meet my needs
Ah sorry, my mistake. Yes £50 for the stove is in my view excessive so the Chinese one is very good value.
To be fair, the woodgas stove is not a clone of the bush-buddy/bushcooker - its wider and imo overall a better, more stable stove. Worth £50? If you're prepared to pay £50, clearly yes! Value for money? Only you can answer that, as the question applies only to our own perceptions/requirements/needs etc. Clearly, a copy for less than half-price is better VFM if one ignores the moral questions that raises...!
I dont think there are any moral considerations. The stove does not have anything patented so to me im just buying from the cheapest supplier.
The only moral question is wether you want to spend £50 in the Uk or £20 to china, apart from the new pot stand both of them appear to be from the same factory. It would be interesting to see if there is any diff between the UK sourced one and the chinese one, apart from £30. I do have the new one and was happy to have spent my money on it.
