Well you wanted us to comment. I know it is 7 years later but I must say: This is the best video about this firebox ever. I just purchased this item and I have been watching lots of videos. I had no idea this is so versatile. And to think I can cook my favorite vegetable in it, I am thrilled Artichokes. I could have listened to you explain this all day. Makes me know I did not make a mistake. I have many stoves even the Surefire rocket stove and the smaller Scout. What a mistake they were. Thanks so much for this wonderful video.

I love my Folding Firebox Stoves. I have the 5" and the Nano. I think I might get the Gen 2 Nano next. I was going to wait till my SSNano wore out, but you can't wear these things out. They're built uber-tough! Ok, now the artichokes brought to mind many good feasts with those. We steam them soft and serve them with lemony garlic butter to dip the tips in as we pull them off the choke. I've never tried them outdoors, but I will now, for sure. Have you ever tried the Knorr soups on hikes or out camping. There are some really good ones.

The first few times I hiked with a Firebox I thought it was too heavy. It isn't. I switched to my alcohol stove and realized that I carry pounds of fuel with that thing too. I finally settled into carrying both but bring very little alcohol. I only use the alcohol stove on rainy mornings for making coffee. The Firebox does the rest. It's worth the pack weight, in my opinion. The Nano is a great lightweight option but requires almost constant attention as it burns the wood quickly.

+John Campbell For me personally John, I agree with you and your logic is sound. "Fuel weight vs stove weight?" It sounds like you've found a good compromise. The stoves weight valued against the fact it's fuel is renewable and practically everywhere make's it a winner for sure. Thanks!
@TwoPlusTwoEqualsFive327 жыл бұрын
You are correct about the nano going out too quick, it does need management. What I found is to feed it larger sticks from the side while feeding it small kindling from the top every now and then. You can also use a metal straw or pocket bellows to rekindle hot embers to flame shortly after it goes out to prevent you from having to go through the whole process of relighting.

Awesome idea using a Swedish Fire Torch in the stove. I have a wood burning stove for backpacking and that idea never crossed my mind.

+John Curry Well I wish I could claim the idea but actually Steve the stoves designer came up with it. It does work surprisingly well. If you have the time, overload with the swedish torch. As in use a log that fits but is say 8 inches too long. the part that is sticking out of the stove will burn first and will eventually break about stove height. Once that happens, you'll have a layer of hot coals and a swedish torch going. I did that with pignut hickory and actually had 1 hour and 44 minutes of visible coals. I was sold on the idea after that. Thanks again for the support John.

Excellent review. Love the swedish torch firelay so much tried that one first on my Gen 2 Folding Firebox today (instead of the cross feed method) up here above the 50th parallel in Canada. You may find your wood burns better if you place the wedges of the log toward the corner, making a bigger chimney in the centre. We went out today and tested Gen 1 and Gen 2 Fireboxes in -7 to -10C weather, high humidity, snow everywhere. Loaded the Gen 1 with the typical preload method and Gen 2 had a black spruce log split into four. Birch bark was the tinder and worked great despite the wet conditions after a couple of attempts. We just warmed up cans of Stagg chili to get a feel. The preload lasted about 35 minutes and the swedish config a good hour (no added wood on either). Heated up the chili within 10 minutes. Looking forward to trying the cross feed methods and wood pellets next. You said it . . . VERSATILE! If you're a backpacker and need to go light the Firebox Nano is the one to get!

I love this stove, I also have the Nano version. Both stoves you can just load up chocka with fuel and it will have no problem continuing to burn. Weight at 1.1kg I do not take my large stove out as often as I would like just due to weight. I can justify carrying it in the Australian winters as it does put off considerable heat from the metal and fire when you have it going. For just cooking the Australian bush it's too heavy to justify as you do not need the warmth.

Huge stove Joe, 2 pounds is too much for my purposes but for sure it's a great design, Cheers, Marc
@feralwoodcraft9 жыл бұрын
+Scouting Free Yep, it is fairly large for sure. I totally dig it's long burn time though. However you are right, it is kinda of heavy for use as a personal stove when on the move. But with a group, it's perfect imo. Thanks Marc.

Decent review of a good stove but the grill plates are NOT designed to be used with flame as a top plate, they are designed to be used to grill once at the coals stage of the fire. Use the fire sticks as a pot stand not the grill. Just to be clear

I've been using a Firebox Stove for about 10 years now. I can tell you that you really don't seem to know how to use this amazing piece of gear properly. You didn't even have it stowed correctly - the ash pan goes underneath the firesticks, which hold it all in and together while it's stowed. The firesticks are also what you use to place the plates, as the stove would be way too hot to use your fingers to spread it to get the tabs in. Also, the grill plates are for cooking food directly on. If you are cooking using the pot like you did, then you would use the firesticks to create a level, flush surface area for the pot to sit on. Lastly, if you are using it as a Swedish fire torch, you split the wood, and then place them inside with the corners facing out into each corner of the inside of the Firebox. That way, you create an incredible vortex of airflow to fuel the flame coming up through the center.

Dude, your video is misleading. The stove does NOT come with the cordura case, the grill grate, the extended grill plate, or the boil plate!! ALL of those are add-on purchases!!!

The Bushbox XL is the German equivalent to this product, which is even more simple to set up. (There is a stainless and titanium version available). This great video shows how to convert it into a torch: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jZW6g2yanbKJsMk. What I like is both products burn very efficiently. Not much fuel is needed and it produces flames with little smoke. Also few coals remain when it is done burning. I enjoy your channel. Thx also for including relative burn times for various fuels. =)

Be responsible...kick all the tinder laying on the ground around and under the stove to the side before lighting the fire.
