Bushbuddy Stove

The Bushbuddy gasifier stove. I have been interested in this stove for a while. Both for the fact that it burns readily available fuel, and is very efficient. There are a few other products out there with the same basic design, I am happy to say this isn't one of those, I feel Bushbuddy deserves my business, not some foreign knock off.

Had to, it took a while, but I’m happy I waited, thanks

I also have a Bushbuddy, Made by Fritz. You mentioned using a Trangia as a backup. Lay the lid of the Trangia upside down in the bottom and put the Trangia burner on top of it. You will get Phenomenal boil times. I have also fashioned a 50 mm wide thin sheet of brass that fits exactly on top of the collar of the wind screen for Esbit tabs. The sides of it are bent up 5 mm for stability. I get a 6 1/4 min boil time for 400ml water with 1 Esbit 14 gram tablet using the brass plate. The bushbuddy is my go to stove.

Great to hear ! Yes, I’m finding the Bushbuddy to be really versatile as well ! Cool ideas you have there ! Thanks for stopping by man !

[@ItsGoodintheWoods]

Cool stove. It was a long wait.

[@MeetMeOutside]

It’s fantastic ! Like I said in the video, I certainly didn’t mind waiting for it, it’s well worth the wait !

[@projectknifehand]

Nice. Glad it finally came in!

[@mainetripper]

The science behind these gasifier stoves is quite unique. Ultimately not much smoke if any. Burns hot and leaves you with a clean stove. I have witnessed several solo stoves and it makes sense for this to be a part of your kit. Especially at 6oz. Enjoyed the video Craig!

[@MeetMeOutside]

Thanks my friend. I am really liking the stove. Hope you and your family are well. Peace ✌️

[@jmsbohannon]

Yep! Love my Bush Buddy!

[@MeetMeOutside]

@@jmsbohannon Great little stove !

[@kevinobrien6714]

The Bushbuddy was my first wood stove I ever bought. Now I have at least 6 other kinds. 1 of my favorites. Great video.

[@MeetMeOutside]

Thanks ! Much appreciated. I have all kinds of twig stoves, I like to have options ! Like I said I have had my eyes on this stove for literally years. So glad I finally got one. I have been really enjoying it. Cheers

[@Zappa870]

Hi Craig, I have a similar stove that's a little bigger diameter. I love it. I use it for day hikes. I hope you and your family are doing well.

[@MeetMeOutside]

Well thank you, I appreciate you asking. And thanks for stopping by man !

Hey Craig,,,, Great Video,,, Iam about 2 months away from getting my Bush Buddy in the mail. 2 quick thoughts,,, 1) I definitely agree concerning copycat’s,,,, I like to Honor the Original. 2) that being said,,, Solo stove has taken the BB design and “Honestly “, brought it to the next level. If you look at their lineup and accessories,,; I honestly don’t think BB would of taken the design to that level of creativity. All in all,,, I’ll always appreciate and hold my Bush Buddy in a special place. Great Review,,, Joshua

[@MeetMeOutside]

Thanks, I definitely looked at the solo stove lineup. Yes, they have broadened the concept a lot. But personally, I don’t have a need. Like you, I feel good supporting BB ! And,it’s a great little stove ! I’m happy for you, you are really going to enjoy ! Thanks for stopping by man !

[@BackpackingWithJason]

I really dig that. I think I’m going to get one.

[@MeetMeOutside]

Jason, my man ! You would rock this little stove, I could see you burning this thing ! It’s just sexy ! Cheers man !

[@AlansOutdoorAdventures]

That looks like a cool little stove, interesting how it works. I also like the idea of the chili on a wrap, I'll have to try that sometime. Thanks for sharing , cheers!

[@MeetMeOutside]

Thanks Allen ! Wraps are very versatile when you’re out. So far the stove is just what I was hoping it would be, Cheers

[@alanbierhoff6831]

Craig, I have a Bush Buddy too and I love it. I got mine several years ago and I remember a 6 +/- month wait time. Well worth the wait and my contact person at Bush Buddy was great! I carry mine in one of my original Mors pots. Just a suggestion: I fill the void between pot and stove with a bunch of coffee filters. Coffee filters are great because they’re multi purpose… Fire starter Plate Napkin Pot holder Lense cleaner (Camera or glasses) T.P. And they’re biodegradable Thanks for another great video PS my friend Mikhail is the man behind the Emberlit Stove and the foreign copies of his stove devastated his business

[@MeetMeOutside]

Thanks, so far loving this stove ! I have a passion for twig stoves ! I like the coffee filter hack ! Great idea ! I have an Emberlit Stove as well, great Stove, works so good. Your right, there are a lot of cheap knockoffs ! Really sucks, I hate when people buy the Knock offs, just to save a buck. Hopefully you’re buddy will survive. Thanks for sharing !

[@larryhanson3856]

Cool stove. Looks worth the wait. Chili burrito sounds awesome. Gonna add it to my camp menu. Great video as always Craig!

[@MeetMeOutside]

Thanks Larry ! Much appreciated !

[@kevinbradleygardeningandou9767]

Pretty boil, good stove, was on my radar for awhile but I really like the Fire box stove Nano for day hikes . I have my own homemade gasifier that looks similar in size and in performance. Beautiful day out, thanks for sharing. 🙂

[@MeetMeOutside]

Thanks Kevin ! Yes I have the Nano as well, great little stove ! I use it a lot with my Trangia. Thank you for stopping by man ! ✌️

[@IntenseAngler]

Now that's one sweet lookin' stove there man! 👍 I'm still using my beat up ol' DIY wood gas one made out of cans, lol. Does the job though. Just isn't anywhere remotely close to the quality and looks of that Bushbuddy! Gotta love the efficiency of the wood gas design, eh. Peace brother... ✌

[@MeetMeOutside]

Right on ! I like the concept of the wood gas idea. It never ends !😂✌️

[@IntenseAngler]

@@MeetMeOutside Right! 😂

[@denniskuenze659]

Nice stove for sure. I believe we’ll be seeing more of it in future videos. Great review.

[@MeetMeOutside]

Thanks Dennis ! Yes you might see this stove a bit in the future !😂🤣✌️

[@denniskuenze659]

It seems the perfect fit for you.

[@earlhayes2969]

Great Video Craig stove looks great I hear you on Gear Junkie 👍Earl

[@MeetMeOutside]

Thanks Earl, much appreciated man !

[@stevenhawk4356]

Has it been too mild outside for any ice fishing ??

[@MeetMeOutside]

I didn’t get out ice fishing at all this winter. There was never any good ice around. Out in the Berkshire hills there was. Very mild winter , 👍😎
