Motorcycle Camping Stove

[@fireboxstove]

Great video mate!! On the ash pan just remember it goes in on the hinge side small side first.

[@BikerBits]

G'Day Rusty, yeah that sounds like a great idea, someone else mentioned dishwashing liquid rubbed on the outside too... so many great ideas... Love it! Cheers... Mark

[@ChooseCarefully]

I love the sounds of the birds. We live in California and have very few birds. This was so fun to watch.... Thanks.

[@pewdiepiefan2311]

I feel sorry for you I live in California as well but i always hear birds (sometimes it gets annoying XD) so I'm wondering where the hell you live X3 Whenever I *dont* hear birds it means something's going to be off that day or something is wrong

[@petercivitello3587]

The birds lol. One tip to cut down on cleaning of the pot is to soap up the outside of it to aid in removal of the soot when washing.

[@sergeantsailorman]

For the black stuff on the pot you can also wrap it with aluminum foil before cooking, and when done, crumple it up and through it away. Place aluminum in your frying pan before cooking, and easy cleanup is the same. Makes messes no longer a bother. At home, when I cook in the oven. I line pans with aluminum foil all the time, and it's easy cleanup Best regards. Love your videos.

[@sergeantsailorman]

Yes, for a campfire, using the copper and plastic/rubber or piece of old garden hose technique, you no longer need to do that old, on your knees, face in the fire, blowing on the coals, with your eyes burning as you inhale smoke, or sit there waving your hat back and forth. Makes campfire maintenance a good bit easier, and more pleasant. No reply needed Mark, but I enjoy your videos.

[@davemarkiewicz1846]

Learned from a trip with similar open fire cooking that tin-foil helps sheild from the blackening and blocks flame from licking your hands when you go to grasp handles. That aside, I love that lil stove!

[@BikerBits]

G'day Dave, great idea mate! Cheers... Mark

[@BikerBits]

G'day Kev, to be honest I have not used it much, because the gas stove is so quick and simple. The firebox is really good and just works so well. Cheers... Mark

[@BikerBits]

G'Day Martye, Thanks mate! One day I'll get over to your great country. Cheers... Mark

[@muley180]

Nice unit there. Found them on Ebay. I use a Jetboil. Love it. I have the collapsible fork, spoon and spatula as well as the optional frying pan. Not as compact yet very lightweight. Great vid. thanks

[@BikerBits]

G'Day Christiaan, Campfire is the best way to cook mate... just not always possible! Cheers... Mark

[@sargetech]

I know Les Stroud "Survivorman" would love this!! I like it!!

[@BikerBits]

Yeah you can buy them here: foldingfirebox . com Cheers... Mark

[@BikerBits]

G'Day Gaz, I know here in Victoria on Total Fire Ban days you can only use gas or electricity appliances that are designed for cooking only - NO solid or liquid fuels. This would mean I could use the gas stove but NOT the firebox as long as I had a 3 metre clearance of any flammable vegitation and I had water on had to put out any problems. Hope this helps mate! Cheers... Mark

[@albion2742]

Gday to you cobber.I make those pop can alcohol stoves ,I put a metal plate over it and do cheese on toast that way when light weight camping.

[@BikerBits]

G'Day mate, thanks for the comments and have a great time on your next upcoming trip! Cheers... Mark

[@BikerBits]

G'Day mate, Yeah I was amazed how well it work. I'm going to enjoy this on my big trip across Australia in August. Cheers... Mark

[@drluc]

Mark, if you smear detour giant onto the outside of your pots before you put them on the fire you can wash off the black easily.

[@BikerBits]

LOL that's so funny... no wonder I couldn't find it :-) Thanks for the tip, I'll give it a go! Cheers... Mark

[@BikerBits]

G'day mate, I think you can only get it from the us online! Cheers... Mark

[@BikerBits]

G'day Malcolm, bloody great idea! :-) Cheers... Mark

[@willowman1000]

Nice job. You remind me of though; do ya think that thing might be hot?????Love it....

[@willowman1000]

OK, so I’ve watched your vides and have come to the conclusion that you are a stand up kind of guy, come over to the states and ya got a place to stay if your in Idaho, give me some heads up if your coming and I can show ya around, been riding in the states for 41 years!!

[@drekovskio]

That is a verry good item and easy to use. But i dont think i find the firebox in Belgium. Ride on bro.

[@Ironboots123]

This device makes it quick n easy especially in the morning when you don't want to make a camp fire due to time constraints.

[@BikerBits]

G'Day Rusty, WOW what a great idea... brilliant! :-) Cheers... Mark

[@BikerBits]

G'Day Derek, thanks mate! Cheers... Mark

[@BikerBits]

G'Day George, sounds bloody tasty to me! :-) Cheers... Mark

[@kevscottie]

That thing looks great! How is it holding up since youve had it a while now? I looked at those kelly kettles which are ok but cant cook soup in them lol. Never seen one of those firebox things youve got there.

[@justwannaride8788]

gday mate bloody brilliant vid and definitely subbed! one question, did you take any notice of how long it takes to cool down? just out of curiosity.....

[@BikerBits]

G'Day mate, yes I would agree! Cheers... Mark

[@BikerBits]

G'Day mate, I tried searching for "detour giant" and couldn't find anything. Is it called anything else? I'll keep looking! Thanks for the tip. Cheers... Mark

[@BikerBits]

G'day Martye, LOL Cheers... Mark

[@egobrian1]

that is an awesome stove. Are they for sale?

[@BikerBits]

Thanks Steve, that's sounds easy enough to remember! :-) Cheers... Mark

[@Rushhourmc]

Oki, thanks, what it the official site for the stove, I can contact them and ask, say that you recommended it =) My latest film is in Swedish but look at the scenery in the one from late day two and first half of day 3. That is Norway at its best, you need to do that trip on day =) If you do, let me know =) Cheers / Johan

[@sergeantsailorman]

It's a nice little stove, but is so expensive. Even on ebay it's about $60 to $90. Take a metal coffee can, cut out one end. Set it down with the open end up. Punch a few holes in the lower sides, and at the top side, punch four holes at each 90 degrees from each other. Push two metal tent pegs, or long nails across, side to side (make two holes for one peg lower than the others, and you'll have a stove with a grill on top. If you want, cut a large hole in the lower side to feed the fire inside.

[@theamazingfreak]

G'day :) Great video, I really liked this review, and your honest style. This is the first vid of yours that I have seen and am subscribing on this already. Keep bringing on the good vid's. Thanks.

[@BikerBits]

G'day Tony, thanks mate! :-) Cheers... Mark

[@Ironboots123]

Too funny. My wife said, what's that I hear, birds?

[@BikerBits]

:-)

[@BikerBits]

G'Day Johan, Sorry mate I don't know... I only know of the official website that sells it. I'll have to go and check out the video of your trip! Cheers... Mark

[@gazed945]

hi mate not been out bush camping yet would you be able to use something like that, or gas cookers where no open fire restriction are in force ?

[@BikerBits]

Exactly right mate! :-) Cheers... Mark

[@KevinderKinderen]

I wonder if you held off cooking until the flame died down to just hot embers if the black soot would not be a problem. I think the embers/coals would be hotter than the flame anyway. Adding this to my camping wishlist.

[@BikerBits]

G'day Kevin, quite possible mate! Cheers... Mark

[@sergeantsailorman]

Do you ever have a campfire that burns down to coals and you put wood on it, but it just smoulders and smokes? I carry a foot long piece of 1/2 inch diameter copper tubing and about three feet of plastic tubing. Put together, I just hold the copper in, or near the coals and blow threw the plastic, and immediately have flames. I thought with your little stove in this video a 1/4 diameter piece of copper with some plastic tubing might do the same thing. Push it through a hole and blow.

[@albion2742]

When those embers are glowing you can make some tasty cheese on toast.

[@BikerBits]

G'day mate, thanks! :-) Cheers... Mark

[@robertwallace9260]

Most easterly to most westerly points in Australia - that's a long ride - the equivalent of Los Angeles to New York - about the same distance. Were you able to stick to sealed roads all the way?

[@texaslonestarrider]

Great Review!

[@billy4rocks]

one of the first bikerbits vids i saw...almost 10 years ago!

[@BikerBits]

WOW 😳

[@BikerBits]

G'day mate, yeah I know! Tell me about it :-) Cheers... Mark

[@BikerBits]

foldingfirebox . com Checking out your video now! Would love to one day ride there. Cheers... Mark

[@aboutreefitty3976]

Those birds would send me over the edge in about 1.5 days..

[@smeagolthebulldog]

This is definately a groovy gadget, but while I can see its attractions, at £55 (UK price) it's a bit expensive.

[@BikerBits]

G'day mate, LOL :-) I'm a simple man with simple needs :-) Cheers... Mark

[@BikerBits]

LOL :-) Cheers... Mark

[@janseendiguiseppiThomasMC]

Nice

[@mohinderlamba]

Instant Coffee Mate??!! Really?

[@drluc]

Mark, sorry this bloody iPad spell check....... It's detergent / washing up liquid the stuff you need.

[@nythawknight6577]

The neighbors probably had some 25 ounce Foster's.

[@jeeves6490]

Nobody in Australia drinks Fosters.

[@georgeenglish6101]

Canny little firebox, looks the business.

[@drluc]

Mark
