Firebox Stove Torture Test

Firebox Website: www.fireboxstove.com/

[@7eem1]

Good survival kit, but definitely a bad cook :)

[@AnabolicAsylum]

Is he torture testing the food or the stove?

[@Oldsparkey]

Torture testing ? The folks watching the video since they are cringing and squirming in there seats. But you have to remember , they say charcoal is good for the digestion , not sure about how much.

[@chadwick2850]

Funnest rip i've herd all year

[@nomadikmind3979]

these types of stoves are just too hot for grilling

[@MrWIbackpacker]

The firebox works fantastically well for grilling. You build a bed of coals, and away she goes. You can bake whole chicken over the firebox. It's all a matter of skill.

[@radix023]

I think he's torturing any militant vegans that might watch.

[@elizabethquinones749]

You burnt all that good food please learn how to use it before trying to tell someone how to use it 😂😂

[@pje2453]

And season it too.

[@petrosspetrosgali]

Apparently, he did not read the instructions. Firebox seems pretty adamant about NOT leaving the grill plate on without food on it.

[@BurntWeeny435]

@@petrosspetrosgali thats weird, in another video he sticks the grill plate inside while the fire is burning to burn off all the grease and food to clean it easier.

[@Greenmachine305]

I don't know much about cooking but when you said "I'd say the steak's about done.", I laughed out loud!

[@mccflo99]

You slaughtered that food. That bacon has a solid case for assault & battery against you. Press charges and get a restraining order bacon!

[@ashleybishton742]

Shiiiiittttt epic comment.

[@mccflo99]

@@ashleybishton742 Thank you, thank you.

[@mccflo99]

@@ashleybishton742 I went ahead and just post another comment on the video for your enjoyment.

[@shaunjakins8377]

On the plus side five years later and that steak is still going strong as the sole of my left shoe😂

[@ashleybishton742]

Epic comment

[@scottl5028]

Oh man.. I was cringing at the poor bacon.. Then went on to torture the Damn steak.... Hold up here comes chicken wings🤦🏽‍♂️

[@putu6]

Need some cooking lessons. Too impatient....

[@fucknose9]

that was in depth, fair play, you really hammered the firebox and it stood up to whatever you threw at it, the firebox is one of the best bits of kit that I own, it is so versatile, thanks again for another great review

[@livingsurvival]

Yeah for sure, thanks for the comment!

[@houseroutdoors1862]

You definitely put the stove to great use that day. Great video really shows just how versatile the stove actually is. Keep up the good work!

[@ericcook8422]

I like when someone actually shows the product in use. This video made me subscribe.

[@livingsurvival]

thanks eric, I try to do so in every video.

[@BackcountryExposure]

This is hilarious! I just started laughing when you put all 6 hot dogs on there. "Cooks hot dogs just fine too." ha ha ha ha. Great video Ben. I need to get one of these stoves.

[@Chrissvarietychannel549]

great video. made me hungry. gave me a little knowledge on these stoves that I needed. thanks

[@Mat-kr1nf]

This is the funniest video I’ve seen all week.......make that month!😂🤣😭

[@fireboxstove]

Wow! Great grilling video! Awesome demonstration. That looked like quite a feast. One quick tip, the grill can't handle a full camp fire under it so we engineered it so the Fire Sticks can be used to attach the Grill Plate after the fire has died down a bit.

[@livingsurvival]

Engineered or not it held up to all the abuse I gave it and I never stopped the fire throughout! Great piece of kit!

[@simonjack8122]

Is the Gen 2 5' available in titanium just like the nano is? If its not i hope it is soon 😊

[@Lellobeetle]

I purchased the extended grill plate with my unit. Imho it's a must-have accessory. Nice cooking, my friend.

[@LeonardoSummers]

Talk about well done you've convinced me to buy the Bushbox Stove nice one my American cousin.

[@scoutingfreegermany]

Well, you must have been veeeeery hungry, lol. Seems to do a great job, nice vid Ben, Cheers, Marc

[@livingsurvival]

HAHA, just wanted to torture it! Thanks Marc for the comment and watching!

[@gladius1275]

Can’t believe you cooked all that different types of food on it. Great demonstration of the stoves capabilities! I like my food well done charred anyway. Great video!

[@adob8694]

Thanks so much for the review. Food looked amazing!

[@beaucrawford538]

You burnt EVERYTHING! You should have cooked most of not all of the meat on coals, not flames.

[@livingsurvival]

Dylan Castle was just testing the durability of the stove more than anything. thanks.

[@beaucrawford538]

Then you should have thrown the whole stove in to a big 'ol fire! Thankyou

[@livingsurvival]

Dylan Castle Maybe next time, lol. Thanks for the comment.

[@zechmerquise5281]

Agree. Especially the hot dogs. Cook on coals. Flames burn your food so you dont want flames shooting up touching your food. Flames good for boiling water and cooking in pots and pans. You actually did a perfect job with the smores. Brown crispy skin on marshmallow with no black marks and melted inside.

[@ashleybishton742]

Could shoot those burgers out my sligshot and kill a few pigeons with them they that hard 😂🤣😂🤣😂

[@701overland]

GREAT review .. I have been watching these stove vids from lots of folks .. BEST one! I am now sold on the Firebox with that grill plate for sure! I really like my Silverfire Scout .. but the versatility and how it packs down is great! Thanks!

[@livingsurvival]

The grill plate is what sold me as well. Works very well! Thanks for the comment!

[@tomjones7232]

Interesting how it all fits together! Thanks!

[@Greenmachine305]

I'm amazed that you didn't get attacked by a bear!

[@canesser1]

Great job on the torture test and tasty too. Love my Firebox as well as Nano. Steve Despain at Firebox Stoves is a remakable man with a creative mind tempered by a good does of engineering savy and an ability to "think outisde the box" ;) Trapezoidal, what a concept!

[@livingsurvival]

Canesser LOL yes when I first received the firebox I was like umm...

[@randyyewell3755]

man, that's really nice and quite versatile. Definitely something for my pack.

[@richardturpin6820]

Does anyone else find it humorous that the only thing he didn’t burn to a crisp were the marshmallows. 😂

[@Adventure_Coffey]

Talk about running the stove through it courses. The food looked great and the stove performed the way it was meant to. Nice Review bud.

[@livingsurvival]

Shane Coffey It can cook for a crowd for sure.

[@aaronhargrove7460]

excellent video. The firebox looks like the best choice

[@TravisHeinze]

How do you deal with all the smoke? Seems like it is one of the biggest problems for cooking.

[@livingsurvival]

Travis Heinze Use dry wood. Once it gets going it doesn't smoke at all.

[@NovaHiker50]

That was a cool review! I enjoyed watching you cook all that meat. Man that looked good.

[@sexualharrison]

new version has fuel ports in the bottom. can't wait to get mine.

[@johnhoward7298]

I thought You said You were going to torture test this ! You're just puttin er through the paces ! These stoves are basically bullet proof !!!!

[@noahspicelife322]

i like you man you know how to eat!

[@samoantravv]

My dude straight did a whole video about burning food lol

[@scottsmith6571]

No ones getting sick from under cooked food there ! Great video

[@livingsurvival]

haha, was more testing the heat capability of the stove than concentrating on the food. was good nonetheless.

[@buickjam]

I was amazed that you didn't burn your mallows. Love your review

[@livingsurvival]

Justin Mason LOL thanks brother.

[@PhillyFlyersss]

which stove would you recommend the most?? i really like this one, just wanted to see your opinion

[@livingsurvival]

Depends on your cookware, what do you use with a stove?

[@Einsucher]

whats th name of the firestarter you use

[@JoeFeser]

You have to love when the fire starts on the first strike :)

[@livingsurvival]

***** Heck ya!

[@capcon6]

Wow that is cool equipment. Bacon doesn't stick to much.

[@livingsurvival]

Not at all, with the really greasy stuff just have to watch the flare ups ;)-

[@Jarhead6]

very nice bro!

[@livingsurvival]

Thanks brother!

[@aznelite325]

man what happened to all the food, did you eat all that?? made me hungry haha. thanks for the test/review!

[@livingsurvival]

aznelite325 yeah i ate it lol.

[@karenchakey]

I love mine, they are awesome quality too!

[@livingsurvival]

Agreed!

[@tas4u93]

Can I live with you

[@bobsaget0429]

I use the firebox, but I have found it's really hard to regulate the flames to keep meat from burning. There is a way to use the ash tray to choke oxygen from the bottom but I haven't experimented with that yet. I have a little 6 inch cast iron I use to make hamburgers with and my 15 inch cast iron balances fine on it as well for more complicated recipes. Also there is a way to put an elevated platform in the stove to rest charcoal briquettes on. This stove is great for making coffee in the morning as well. With a little finesse you can get a good coal base going and just toss a stick or two on once in a while to lick the meat. but really it's just easier to use a pan, preferably cast iron. Hope my experiences help.

[@livingsurvival]

+bobsaget0429 certainly takes practice like anything else. thanks for the comment.

[@toma674]

Great video and demo of what you can cook on it.

[@livingsurvival]

Glad you liked it and thanks for watching!

[@jko9581]

By golly you're right. I'm so used to torture tests consisting of throwing them off of roofs, dragon them behind trucks, throwing them in the mud, submersing them in water, and all kinds of other things. I don't have much experience with a lot of other stoves but the firebox but I do have has more than met my expectations.two hours of sustaining the fire is pretty rough on metals. You should've pointed that out as your goal. Good video. Thanks

[@livingsurvival]

John Ko HAHA yeah, some of those tests are more funny than anything.

[@JoeFeser]

The extended grill plate (an optional item) and key to the demo here, is the best money you will ever spend. Look for the kit when you buy your Firebox stove.

[@Ragnark1]

This is making me so freaking hungry!

[@livingsurvival]

Were these 80/20 or 75% burgers? I love flareup on a big grill but for the FireBox I may stick with 85 or 90%

[@livingsurvival]

***** No clue.

Best Products hands Down, with Great support and Quality to count on... I have the Titanium nano.. little Guy is Amazing!!

[@anaphylastiks]

I am really into these portable stoves. I am making my second rocket stove tomorrow my first one goes well but the steel was to heavy and takes too long to heat up the riser. I will upload and share my video with you tomorrow.

[@livingsurvival]

+Chris Dealny cool.

[@unclemikeb]

Great review. You put that little bugger through the paces. I have a Lixada and I now suspect this stove is more verstatile. What the heck, a guy could pack both of them they are so small.

[@wheelsgonewild1286]

These are great. I need to get me the deluxe version with the extended grill plate. Mmmmmm bacon.

[@livingsurvival]

Thanks for watching!

[@TheBigBadWolf85]

the stove seemed to generate enough heat 🔥, you burnt just about everything aside from the smore. would love to see you demo a silverfire gasification rocket stove. and compare efficiency and cost.

[@Nanchi]

lol he did huh o well hard part is probably regulating heat

[@johnhuynh9298]

charcoals would work much better for grilling; flame is bad without a pot or skillet.

[@DrDennis]

Damn good video Ben. You made me hungry. Looking to invest in this as my main wood burner.

[@livingsurvival]

nice.

great review

[@livingsurvival]

Thanks for your continued support brother!

[@PrimalEdge]

easy to support you, the content is great!

[@Astropicle]

Great review

[@livingsurvival]

thanks Josh

[@leosantoro1852]

im pretty sure he knows how to cook but hes doing a torture test. burning food on a grill is a good test of it capabilities. ie how easy it is to clean off and how bad it gets stuck to it

[@ashleybishton742]

Could kill pigeons by shooting those burgers out my slingshot 😂🤣😂🤣😂

[@mmmtea1263]

Do they ship to australia

[@donaldburton6869]

Nice video as usual. Who is going to eat all that food? I'd love to help you.

[@robertbrunston5406]

Good job! Thanks

[@kevinolesik1500]

for those burgers you might be better off with a pan or something that doesn't let the flames blacken the meat ... also messes up the stove with greasy dirt sort of ... you'll need a caustic soak to get that baby clean

[@MrRedFox13Photography]

+Kevin Olesik Torture Test lol but that is true

[@quadrunner2124]

+Kevin Olesik Sometimes I like to sear the bottom side while I'm grilling, then turn the heat way down so the juices all stay inside.

[@THEfromkentucky]

+Kevin Olesik Some people like the flavor of charbroiled meat.

[@sexualharrison]

there is also a flame defusing grate which would have helped.

[@stefanivan7930]

Considering the inability to control the temperature that stove is pretty awesome just a bit too expensive for what it is.....

[@livingsurvival]

[@jeffreydheere4737]

Now I'm hungry - did you eat all of that meat? :)

[@livingsurvival]

***** Oh yeah!

[@raymondcarvelli748]

Thanks for your reply.

[@livingsurvival]

Raymond Carvelli Anytime.

[@raymondcarvelli748]

Won't you have cross contamination by cooking different types of meat? Very good video, looks like a very good system. I was thinking about this stove and the solo. Which one do you find best? Thanks for the info.

[@livingsurvival]

Both different applications. This one is great for grilling or heating larger pots where as the solo stove is more efficient at quick boils, however, the solo now comes in three sizes.

[@livingsurvival]

No, once cooked meat would be fine.

[@wilfredoikle7534]

This is not a review of the new Gen2 Firebox. This first gen is very good but the newer one has been upgraded and has more features,

[@MountainRaider]

very nice review!

[@livingsurvival]

Thanks mountainman

[@leroylamb8745]

Nice job on both the review and the cooking. I eat right off the grill too.

[@AntiqueMeme]

4 strips of charred bacon, and 2 charred hamburger patties so far. At least you won't have to deal with good poisoning out in the woodlands.

[@livingsurvival]

+XPWNZERX lol, yeah i let it run hot to test the stove for a hour or so on blazing heat.

[@AntiqueMeme]

+Living Survival ohhh, ok. Well id say it held up pretty well then. Whats the advantage of owning this, as opposed to building a fire and having a grate with fold out legs?

[@livingsurvival]

***** many places like state parks you can't build an open fire. this is a way around it. plus it is more efficient having an actual stove. whatever works though :)

[@AntiqueMeme]

+Living Survival sure, that makes sense. Thank you :D

[@larryanderson6154]

Simple beautiful much more efficient than your basic debit stove thank you for sharing

[@timgoffard]

Wow. Two burgers, six jumbo dogs, two salmon fillets, a steak, two wings...how did you walk home? Lol.

[@livingsurvival]

slowly.

[@John-ui7hb]

2017 is this still a viable stove option?

[@livingsurvival]

very much so.

[@carslover3509]

very very great

[@SeanBeasley40]

This video and the firebox are great , but when cooking anything as greasy as bacon or burger meat it should be cooked in a pan to prevent fire flare-ups from the grease, you will have to be very careful in this department when cooking outside.

[@mccflo99]

You incnirated that food. Was that bacon's final wishes to be cremated? Where can I visit the urn to pay my respects?

[@StyleOverPolitics]

Lmao every piece of meat was burnt in the making of this video

[@MrRockstar1968]

You eating all this yourself or do you have company?

[@atari_rx]

I always enjoy watching your stove reviews; I liked how you demostrated grilling different foods. Hope you upload some more, thanks for this review!

[@6BlackWings]

I cant tell if the stove sucks, or if you suck at using it. A little of both maybe? I also can't understand why you keep saying how well it works when it's clearly not producing good results.

[@livingsurvival]

This video was to see if I could keep the stove running hot for a longer period of time. The stove worked flawlessly.

[@livingsurvival]

Thank you so much for the comment! BACON is good!

[@wshim65]

looks like FOOD torture test.

[@Sczelag]

I don't mean to be rude. The meat looked very black and burnt. Is that because of the soot coming off the stove or is that because you prefer your meat very well done? How long does it take to get a bed of hot coals before grilling on top?

[@livingsurvival]

***** YEah, the stove was hot since I was cooking all day on it, just mainly was going for testing the stove over an extended cooking period and not so much worried about the food. I like 'em bloody like the rest of them ;) Not long to get coals.

[@patricksmith7748]

don't worry about the burns it take time to get good at sick stoves. I am still working on it too.

[@livingsurvival]

Patrick Smith i like it that way anyway :)

[@Forevertrue]

Looks like the answer is a grill mat, which would stop the bacon flair ups, and give a solid cooking surface that is clean. Also great for a steak. I am not affiliated with them.

[@livingsurvival]

+Ineluctable Smith i've seen those. might try it :)

[@UrbanSuburban010]

Awesome man. That must have all smelled just amazing!
