The New Firebox Scout - Bacon test!

[@fireboxstove]

Excellent demonstration Kent! So glad to see you enjoying your Firebox Scout Stove👍😎🙏

[@mrwes100]

Andy 😉

[@marcomcdowell8861]

I've been using my Scout for a month now. We got punched with snow in Japan and it was a perfect opportunity to use this. Wood, puck, Trangia and solid fuel worked well. It was worth the wait.

[@JackKlumpass]

@Mills Rickman we got slapped up by sleet!

[@Picasso_Picante92]

I'm in Japan too. May I ask where do you camp? I go to Okutama sometimes. But always looking for a place that I can start a fire. Many places don't allow it.

[@walkerone9833]

Nice item for the price. Very practical and can easily store an alcohol stove as you mentioned. I would prefer it had one side wall with no air holes at all. To block wind on the one side I think would make the stove much more efficient. At one point it seemed as though a lot of flame (heat) was lost through a side wall due to wind. I guess aluminum foil would take care of that. Thanks!

[@beer_advocate]

Glad you’re back, Andy. Happy New Year!

[@jim-bob-outdoors]

That looks really well thought out Andy. Looks like its nice and stable too. JB. 👍

[@tlembro]

Just ordered this from your site and left your name as referral… Yes they are backordered till April….Thanks so much!

[@SamoyedMoms]

Happy New Year -- Andy's back!! Nice review, Andy, thank you. I'm going to share this video widely. I did the kickstarter campaign last summer so already got one from that. Great value and I, too, appreciate the utility of storing things inside of it. And the simplicity is useful for those who would bother with, or invest in, the folding versions. Great gift for those who you wish were more prepared.

[@dangered99]

Bush box man! 🤣 Nice one Andy!

[@GARYMANDIEVAN]

I have three Firebox Stove but I’m loving the scout I’m finding it’s perfect for overnight camping, awesome video Thanks

Nice Christmas then Andy. Nice stove, very pretty. That's how I use trangia burners sometimes. Take care Happy New Year.

[@tracyl1368]

Happy New year Andy love........great to see you back!

[@kentsurvivalgearreview586]

Thanks tracey, HNY

[@zz504]

I forgot I ordered one of these. Or showed up the other day so I had to yet it out. 20 f gusting wind, boiled some water with my Trangia in 8 mins and had some tea.

[@mphigham1963]

Looks a nice piece of kit Andy, would probably live in the car full time !! Oh and Happy New Year Pal !

[@tracker5849]

I have the big pathfinder stainless alcohol burner...works great sitting straight on the bottom of the stove. Haven't tried the billy can on this stove but now I will

[@woofman4796]

i ordered 1 a few weeks ago, today is 1/10/22, it's going to be here, hopefully , by april, i have the gen 1 folding firbox stove too, i love it

[@tlembro]

Great Video . Thanks .. And Happy new year Andy all the best for 2022 ..👍

[@andyfreer1343]

Happy new year andy looking forward for more videos in this year 2022

[@rjstewart]

Throw in a pot gripper handle and use the lid to cook in?

[@james78ish]

Lived in Kent all my life great county for woods from Rochester to Chatham to Dartford out to cliff great place for camping and fishing and survival always to this date have a prepared BOB .

[@marianfrances4959]

I really like this stove. Happy new year, Andy. 👍🇨🇦🌲🔥🌎❄

[@treksntarps]

Handy looking bit of kit. Might have to invest 🤔. Becoming a kit junkie 😂 . Thank you take it easy 👍

[@billrivenbark8983]

Saw your video and you convinced me to buy one.

[@mikedelacruz3135]

Awesome review Sir Andy 👊🏼😎🤙🏼

[@mikeweaver6286]

happy new year dude

[@seansmart3440]

Great review. Thank you. Now that I know about the “bacon test,” it will be the standard by which all stoves will be measured. 🙂

[@concretedan]

Great to have you back mate! Happy new year and cheers in advance for the vids in 2022 👍

[@kentsurvivalgearreview586]

Thanks :) and to you

[@BrianthatiscalledBrian]

Very nice. I wonder if you can boil water or cook in one of the lids? Using a trangia pot holder of course. Thanks, Andy. 🙂👍

[@zekesundown2397]

I don’t think the lids are water tight .you may want to test it out .

[@RedBranchBushcraft]

@@zekesundown2397 i contacted firebox about this and the lids are not food grade so they dont recommend it

[@RedBranchBushcraft]

i contacted firebox about this and the lids are not food grade so they dont recommend it

[@zekesundown2397]

Yeah it’s actually a steel plated tin as Steves mentioned in the past. So I should’ve known as much.

[@RedBranchBushcraft]

@@zekesundown2397 it would be cool if you could

[@TNBushcrafter]

I really wish I'd got the titanium nano x case when the kickstarter was going on for the scout. I came very close but just didn't do it.

[@AndyMacaskill]

Love the first burn of a stove. Happy New Year Andy!

[@andykjohnsonjohnson7622]

Nice review video Andy 👍, I have one question. Can you us either the top or bottom cap 🤔. As a cooking unit, boil water or cook food in ?

[@betod3113]

Wow very nice fire kit delicious breakfast great video 🤠

[@nelsonminingandabandonedplaces]

Great video. I love firebox i own almost everything they sell and have multiples of everything from stoves to pots pans etc. There location is only about a 1hr from where i live so i am always buying something. I highly recommend firebox stoves they make an amazing product. This video was awesome Happy new year Andy.

[@robertredwood9944]

Great video. Great review. Thank you for posting 👍🏻. I have purchased the kebab cooker that you reviewed. Not used it yet. But really pleased with the build quality and brilliant design. Can’t wait to get the scout.

[@danielirvine3109]

Top of the line . Good show

[@P.E.J.]

good video, nice job - that looked delicious ;-)

[@jdsmith-bl2yl]

Good video man!!

[@wadewilliams4989]

Thanks for the review!

[@deenunya7735]

Handy bit of Kit Andy Even just as you Say an Emergency If Stranded Did Remind Me of a Bigger Version of a Corned Beef Tin with the Lid and Base on 🤔🤭

[@iahelcathartesaura3887]

Most excellent demo. Many thanks! Subscribed 👍

[@claramullen]

Hi Andy I do like the design of the stove and your right its more for emergency situation or even car camping. I wouldn't carry it in a backpack of course. Thank you. Take care

[@MHarenArt]

That's a nice little piece of kit! Happy New Year Andy! Wishing you health and wealth for the coming year! Stay safe, Cheers!

[@runningriverbushcraft]

Great Video enjoyed it much. Cheers...

[@UrbanGrrl69]

I like the look of this one, even though its not foldable it seems to have other good features. Just when I told myself to stop with the stove buying…..🤣

[@tjk355]

Looks good generally. Very neat and tidy. Only downside for me is you cant move the pot stand easily once lit and the feed hole is narrow.

[@allanmason7544]

another great vid andy keep them coming

[@kentsurvivalgearreview586]

cheers allan

[@SnowyAspenHills]

“Found the FB 5” at a bargain price “ AKA Steve sent me one 😀 Did the kickstarter for the Scout,I like it, no wasted space as one can cram it full of gear. Using mine with a Trangia gas stove mainly but of course in an emergency or gas runs out I also keep the Trangia alcohol burner with it as well and of course natural fuel could be used.

[@stevenhall1097]

Nice fire box.

[@k9six185]

Good review

[@derekmcmanus8615]

Great review of an interesting product

[@5argetech56]

I can smell the streaky bacon frying...☺👍

[@stankormy5717]

That’s a good design for an burner!

[@nickprague1481]

Isn't this the first such stove to give instructions for the use of stove pellets?

[@sjuas690]

How many tea lights can fit on the solid fuel plate?

[@sirdee9607]

Great Stove

[@robertleslie2467]

Nice Firebox and review but I much prefer the original folding Firebox. Gimme' some fat wood, some dry kindling and split branches like a Swedish chimney. I use it when fishing and camping with a small Lodge cast iron pan. The Lodge pan would work great with that setup as well.

[@michaelnowak2340]

Andy, HAPPY 2022!!! You should make your own fuel pucks, it's really not hard. if I can do it any one can...

[@kentsurvivalgearreview586]

Cheers Michael, and to you buddy!. yeah, ive done a few types too.. i think one of my first videos was haha

[@davidlaw233]

Found it just ordered one

[@ANTZPound4Pound]

OMG! Those🥓 & 🍳Got me going Crazy 🤪 and Jealous!!!!!!💯

[@MrSpaceace1999]

Can you use these in a tent

[@oferbechor1579]

THANK YOU

[@topher12661]

Can those covers be used as pots? If not too bad they slipped up on an oppertunity there. Would have made the complete stove cook set.Maybe a future addition with handles I hope.

[@alynnhiscox7303]

I really like the Firebox Stoves, but here in California they would be restricted for a good part of the year due to fire danger.

[@jaylargent7375]

Just wondering why you would put oil in the pan to cook bacon?

[@chrisrobson8540]

looks like you could get a good portion of a 24hr mre kit in there.......nice bit of kit

[@kentsurvivalgearreview586]

definitly, bags of room :)

[@marjiecleveland]

This is a great stove!

[@MyScottyboy1]

You're making me hungry!

[@aynsleycooper365]

Easy kit, Julie's most impressed (As if we need another stove!)

[@danhoward1163]

Can you use one of the lids as a pot?

[@kentsurvivalgearreview586]

i dont see why not, just on top of the pot rest so it doesnt get stuck on the lip.. will need some good gloves or pot handle though

[@Oldsparkey]

Finally a comprehensive report on the Fire Box Scout. It's well thought out and all the different ways to use it , quite versatile. My folding Firebox Nano Gen 2 in titanium is easy to pack , light weight and takes very little space. The ideal item for ultralight backpacking like I do. Scout CON... The down side for myself would be the size when packed in a backpack. Scout PRO....The argument could be made that since it can have all the items packed inside it , the space is well used and not wasted. Now if it was only in Titanium. Even better is the price or should I say the savings it allows.

[@kentsurvivalgearreview586]

Thanks chuck. yeah, titanium is great (well except for the price but cant be helped haha) doesnt matter for me on this as itll just be in the truck. now i need to play with my gen 2 and see how it compared with my bushbox

[@Oldsparkey]

@@kentsurvivalgearreview586 As the old expression goes ... " Can't beat it with a stick ". The modern version added ..." But you can burn them in it " . lol

[@rgober60]

Happy New Year Andy, good to see you young man. So glad you got you one!! I remember telling you back when I got mine. They are good for anything you want and anytime you need. I keep mine inside. It's great for when the power goes out and you just need a small bit cooked up. So glad you like it. Thanks for the review 👍👍👍👍👍

[@oldbatwit5102]

It looks pretty well thought out but.... what are the two big 'lids' really for? They don't seem to be for cooking except, perhaps, in an emergency. You don't generally use a stand with other mini stoves. The top lid seems particularly useless since the stove already comes in a bag. Maybe I'm just being fussy, my budget is Lixada and Poundland.

[@thegrcc]

One used as a base as in the video and you could use top one as a pan to boil water or cook in

[@michaelpotter4425]

Great vid could you use the lids to cook with 🍻

[@JackKlumpass]

Andy , or anyone - what do you recommend as a grate in the zebra (12cm one) when using as an oven?

[@djamespphillips3632]

Great bit of kit this, but where can I buy one? Struggling to find it online. Anyone know? Thanks

[@chrisandsamlivingthedream]

Looks good .. would be better if feed hole was bigger .. cheers Chris & Sam
