Bushcraft Essentials Bushbox Outdoor Pocket Stove

Product Information

Of course, this doesn't have the work power of a bigger stove but it still works fine, uses very little biomass, still works with what you can gather around your position (so you don't necessarily have to pack solid alcohol), will help your Trianga system by protecting the flame from the wind, and is no bother to put up. The Bushbox LF Stove is equipped with the same custom-engineered hinges used on the Bushbox XL, the construction of these hinges makes sure that they will never clog. Also known as a hobo stove or firebox, the BushBox XL Combination Kit is designed to fold away to under 1 cm in thickness. Tried it for the first time this weekend, simple operation, quality materials, superb manufacturing.

By using it for meals that require less cooking finesse (like boiling water for coffee), you can save a lot of fuel, which can be used for those meals where flame control is critical.Again, the great thing about the Bushbox Ultralight is that you can use it with other types of fuels and cooking methods to best suit nearly any situation. Once the Budweisers have been passed around (or you’re chilling them in a nearby river), you can light the cardboard grid as kindling and get the campfire going.

I’ve even found that the Bushbox Ultralight stove will fit perfectly into a 750ml titanium pot if you don’t use the cloth stuff sack it came in. Reduce your carbon footprint and fuel costs by using organic resources like twigs, leaves, pine cones, wood shavings, feathers, etc. When we burned wood in the Bushbox, we made sure that we had a lot on hand to continually feed the flames. Larger pots actually sit up on these tabs, which makes sense since you would want a slightly larger fire and need the flames to spread out more. We at OGL were not very impressed with the Bushcraft Essentials Bushbox Outdoor Pocket Stove — despite the funny name.Not only are you whipping up a hot meal from renewable fuel you found on the ground, but you are also not adding to the demand for very wasteful fuel canisters.

I’ve never felt the need for any of the optional plates, but I’m glad that the manufacturer offers them as options – or spare parts. For regular use, we recommend our Heavy Duty Outdoor Bag Bushbox LF or the matching Leather Pouch Bushbox LF.The first time you assemble the Bushbox Ultralight is a bit of a challenge and you will be worried about bending or breaking something. As stated above, it took us about 8 minutes to boil a liter of water at low elevation with a wood fire, and we burned through one whole Esbit tablet at 7700 feet, and half a liter of water did not quite boil — it was just starting to fish eye. Weight, packed size and portability are obviously important factors to consider, particularly if you’re planning to carry it up a mountain. I sewed up an alternative out of silnylon and velcro and now it fits perfectly with plenty of room for other cooking paraphernalia. In combination with the separately available Universal Grate, they can also be used as a toast holder or to keep your coffee cup warm.
