No idea if its any good but perhaps others have experience.

Worth a punt if I was stoveless.

The welding doesn't look too cracking on the pics (one of them especially), but i suppose thats a trivial matter on one of these. It does look decent value for money for what it is.

 

[spandit]

Certainly cheaper than the Morso I've just ordered...

Good find Rik, thanks for the link.

Reviews don't seem overly positive.

The review about a ladies husband put in hospital from the fumes is a bit worrying!! do I smell an Amazonian troll though...?

Hard to believe as happened while it was lit in the garden. Not gonna get hospitalised through that.... in a tent maybe... but the garden? just doesn't ring true.

I have first hand knowledge and unless it's been significantly modified since mine was made ... it's truly, truly awful!

Doesn't draw well and the way the flue pipes fit onto rather than into the one below means that any tarring (and there'll be plenty!) has a tendency to run down the outside of the pipe (and, unless you disassemble whilst still reasonably warm, the tarring gums the seams solid ~ and then you end up with tarry hands ...).

I've tried to cook on it too ... was like waiting for the sun to go nova!


I think there are (or, at least, were) two sizes available ~ we seem to see the larger version advertised. I'm pretty sure that both sizes use the same door, venting and flue size and on the smaller one in their vid seems they work nicely, on the larger one they're dire .


On the up side ... erm ... sorry, can't think of one .

It looks pretty lousy. The top isnt flat so wouldnt heat a pot much at all.

Well they are used by one of the aid distributers to disaster areas

And we all know how fussy they can be with kit selection.

 

[wingstoo]

On closer examination they are different, although similar.

That one looks like a frontier.

That one looks like a frontier.

That's probably because it is a frontier... and I got mistaken that the two were similar.

And you tried selling it on to me?

Thank goodness I had the sense to say no thanks

 

[decorum]

And you tried selling it on to me?

Aye, but only at the point where I realised that I didn't get on with it and long before I got to the realisation that I had truly given myself enough time (and it enough chances) and the realisation dawned on me that it really was it which was at fault and that it's true vocation in this universe is as something to stop the garage from floating away . And, to be honest, it's rather poor at that too!
