The New Firebox Scout - Bacon test!

[@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.

[@fireboxstove]

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

[@mrwes100]

Andy 😉

[@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.

[@GARYMANDIEVAN]

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

[@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 .

[@johndebolt5853]

Happy new year Andy. Thanks for the video and great to see you back. Be well.

[@diannemartino3464]

So glad to have you back. I hope you had a wonderful holiday!

[@troybranaman316]

I got mine about a week before Christmas from Kickstarter . I havent used mine yet but I keep mine in my car for emergencies. Love your channel Andy!! Take care and stay safe my friend !!

[@marky5755]

Damned clever bit of kit. I love it.

[@j9studios384]

Just started to watch this channel to hold me over till the other channel releases another video. You are by far my favorite youtuber! Thank you so much for your work

[@toddkohut5993]

I find the instructions always make great fire starters

[@alessia0064]

Happy New Year Andy, hope you had a lovely Christmas and restful break 😊👍.

[@GraysOutdoors]

Always love your presentation style. Keep smiling. Happy new year dude. ATB. Grays

[@woofman4796]

[@georgieboy1958]

Nice to see you back we’ve missed you

[@Kenbur]

Hey Andy - great review. I love my Scout and have the other models as well. Thanks for making me hungry! ATB

[@tlembro]

This is a great little tool….does so much! Thankyou for your review!

Happy new year Andy all the best for 2022

[@oddmanout98]

Looks a useful bit of kit. Thanks for reviewing it Andy. Happy New Year to you.

[@rodrigocappato4207]

Nice stove!! Greetings from the woods in Sweden 🇸🇪

[@dannyorndorff6602]

The Firebox scout works well have had mine for over a month. Glad to see you back hope the hollow days were great.

[@tracyl1368]

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

[@kentsurvivalgearreview586]

Thanks tracey, HNY

[@lavvuwildcamper]

Nice stove 👍😎 I like the folding one too.. Thanks for sharing..

[@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. 🙂

[@steveb1972]

Nice little stove. Happy new year Andy👍🏻

[@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

[@santamulligan676]

Thanks I misssed this coming out

[@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.

[@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.

[@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 👍👍👍👍👍

[@debbiedawsonpeterdawson3251]

Happy new year. Can the end covers be used as pots . Stay safe.

[@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

[@5argetech56]

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

[@dangered99]

Bush box man! 🤣 Nice one Andy!

[@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!

Awesome review Sir Andy 👊🏼😎🤙🏼

[@andrewforrest8938]

Happy New year Andy Great you're back with another fantastic review video thanks 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.

[@MrDanbecker]

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

[@danielirvine3109]

Top of the line . Good show

[@billrivenbark8983]

Saw your video and you convinced me to buy one.

[@wadewilliams4989]

Thanks for the review!

[@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

[@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.

[@concretedan]

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

[@kentsurvivalgearreview586]

Thanks :) and to you

[@stankormy5717]

That’s a good design for an burner!

[@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 🤔🤭

[@allanmason7544]

another great vid andy keep them coming

[@kentsurvivalgearreview586]

cheers allan

[@localinthe330]

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 ?

[@marksadventures3889]

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

[@marianfrances4959]

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

[@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.

[@iahelcathartesaura3887]

Most excellent demo. Many thanks! Subscribed 👍

[@andyfreer1343]

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

Cheers Andy hope you had a good xmas/new years!

Happy new year Andy 🍻

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

[@runningriverbushcraft]

Great Video enjoyed it much. Cheers...

[@ANTZPound4Pound]

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

[@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…..🤣

[@stevenhall1097]

Nice fire box.

[@leewilson98]

I've been thinking about getting one of these since I first heard of it but yet to convince myself of the value. I'm thinking my Kelly Kettle Scout is far more versatile. Whilst bigger (no so big it can't be slung over a shoulder when needed) it does also give me the ability to carry water and because it's hollow I can probably store more inside. Very suitable for storing in a vehicle. For backpacking it's the folding firebox every time if I'm going somewhere I can light fires.

[@zekesundown2397]

I say it’s worth the value personally

[@aynsleycooper365]

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

[@Astrobutch0901]

You had me at Bacon test..🤣

[@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.

[@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.

[@AndyMacaskill]

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

[@AKSingh]

For that size, should have made it double walled for secondary combustion. Wind protection is also not so good

[@mphigham1963]

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

[@sirdee9607]

Great Stove

[@jdsmith-bl2yl]

Good video man!!

[@aucoinroland9072]

You don't need oil when cooking bacon . It will make it's own grease. Nice video though and good product review

[@barchetta06]

nice one Andy .... just wish i could find somewhere quiet to do this kinda cooking ...

[@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]

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

Great review of an interesting product

[@MyScottyboy1]

You're making me hungry!

[@rickhewitt8588]

Yes……. Ringo to ya!

[@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

[@rjstewart]

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

[@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.

[@0484091]

Hi Andy.. Great channel, I'm looking fir a UK supplier for the Firebox Scout, any suggestions? Cheers Jim from Whitstable

[@djamespphillips3632]

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

[@marjiecleveland]

This is a great stove!

[@bubblehed738]

Awww, man. There you go burning the Chestnut wood again. I cringe when you do that. You all in the UK should feel very lucky to have them in abundance. They are a scarce commodity in the States. LOL. Great video. Keep up the good work.

[@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
