Why is the Firebox Freestyle the best camp stove? Let me show you!

[@mianone7486]

Watching this makes me crave my own even more. Its bought but wont reach me until end of january when a friends dad is bringing it over. Thank you for all these tips and tricks!

[@offcourseoutdoors8366]

Congrats! I think it took me a couple months for my Freestyle when I got it on Kickstarter. It's worth the wait. Cheers!

[@offcourseoutdoors8366]

Its getting pretty close to the end of January, so is your Firebox close?

[@mianone7486]

Yes!! I will get it after the ninth of feb . I can hardly wait!!!! I am so excited over it .. F i n a l l y!!!

[@offcourseoutdoors8366]

@@mianone7486 Nice, I will check back later, lol... Cheers!

Erector set is right, this is the camper/bushcrafters best fidget toy. I'm a gadget geek and I love this thing. Sure it's fun to cook on, but, man, it is fun just to play around with sometimes. LOL

Good to know that I'm not the only one in my basement playing around with the freestyle... lol Cheers!

[Knock-Knock] Hello Mrs. T, Can Triple come out and play Firebox Stove?

[@jimbojet8728]

My mistake then is that I always have the sun to my right shoulder when I put it together. Now I know to have the long sides running NE to SE all will be much clearer. Fortunately the FB nano Ti that I use most, doesn’t have an orientation problem built in. Extremely important! Thanks.

[@richardirmler435]

Great video thanks your great thanks awsome

[@francescachiappa]

Thanks for the very detailed explanation. Can you please put the measurements in centimeters in the future? For those who, like me, come from another country (Italy 🇮🇹) and are lazy to convert 😂 Thank you!

[@offcourseoutdoors8366]

I had the same thought as I was editing the video. I will make sure to use both systems on the next one. Happy you enjoyed the video! Cheers!

[@francescachiappa]

Thank you!!!

I can't believe that this video doesn't have 1000000 like and views. Been wanting the 5 in Firebox, but I like this more thanks for giving a great detailed and explanation and for making this video.

[@offcourseoutdoors8366]

Thanks for watching, cheers!

[@larryn8]

Excellent detailed information and going through the multiplex of configurations. Even putting away the Firebox Freestyle has a method! The fire grate is placed in the best orientation, so positioned to deploy the next time.

[@offcourseoutdoors8366]

Who would have thought this would be so cerebral, lol. and.... I still get hungry every time I see your beach BBQ video😂

[@kimwiser445]

You made it so much easier to understand!!

It a bit confusing at first but its a great stove. Cheers!

Excellent tutorial! I was always a Lego kind of guy myself. Lol this is the first time I’ve seen this kit. But it’s on my Christmas list now. Thank you very much.

[@boutthere3374]

Just wanted to let you know that I watched your video and although I do NOT need another twig stove your video so intrigued me that one is on the way. The wife hates you but thanks and great video.

[@offcourseoutdoors8366]

Congrats! Can’t wait to see you using it on a paddle adventure! Thanks for watching, Cheers!

One trick is to use charcoal. Charcoal is fantastic. What I do is make lots of small packets of charcoal. About a pint size. Wrapped up in waxed paper to make it very water proof. The waxed paper serves as a good fire starter in the rain. The many waxed parcels are absolutely rain proof.

[@offcourseoutdoors8366]

You keep giving me more project! lol Thank you for these great suggestion! I know that readers of these comments appreciate the feedback. Thanks again! Cheers!

[@peetsnort]

Get your water boiling container and put a clean brown paper bag inside. Then firmly place charcoal inside. Not too firm so as to crush. Then cover so you can put the lid on. Then use melted candle wax to paint or dip the whole package. It should be able to fit inside the container again.. I find charcoal is fantastic for the times you are caught in a rain storm for hours in the tent. You can safely use charcoal at the door of the tent for drying out and cooking.

[@offcourseoutdoors8366]

Thank you for this great suggestion! I know that readers of these comments appreciate the feedback. Thanks again! Cheers!

[@dangerousdave668]

Excellent video. Through trial and error with the Trangia burners the position you suggest confirms my understanding of the optimum position. Additional bonus is you get little sooting . If you position Trangia burner lower using bio ethanol the sooting is terrible.

[@offcourseoutdoors8366]

Appreciate the feedback, glad it helped you out to verify things. After I made this video I found more things I needed to add, lol. I will have to make another video. Thanks for watching, cheers!

[@Hogdriver88]

Great demo. I've had a freestyle everything and ultra cook kit in my cart but haven't clicked the buy button yet. My G2 5 is pretty good, but I want one of everything on the website LOL.

[@Saltfly]

Your G2 is a better stove. The stainless is heavy. But if ya get the titanium G2 you will have the best stove Steve has. If you don’t already.

[@walkerone9833]

Some great insight. Line the x case w/aluminum foil and it will stay nicer longer.

[@offcourseoutdoors8366]

Great idea, thanks! Cheers!

[@mkcrowder2257]

Great tips! Very helpful. Do you prefer the Ti or the stainless in this stove? Have you noticed any difference in the performance, ease of cleaning, maintenance, etc.?

[@offcourseoutdoors8366]

I like both equally. The SS is noticeably thicker and heavier than the Ti, gives it a more solid feel. They are both impeccably made but the thinner Ti does not have the solid feel like the SS. They both perform exactly the same but noticed that the SS cleans up a bit easier. The Ti has a matt finish, so soot tends to stick to it more. I find that rubbing off the soot using vegetable oil cleans it up well. Hope this answers your question, cheers!

[@mkcrowder2257]

@@offcourseoutdoors8366 Thank you! Great to get your opinion since you have and use both! Thanks again for this video.

[@offcourseoutdoors8366]

You are most welcome...

[@gearhead-do1xh]

Great videos. How do you think the freestyles will hold up to torture testing or compared to the gen 2 5" & titanium for hot fires, durability etc... Will the grates and grills burn out like titanium over 400'F or something like that? Just wondering how tough they are or if they are best for cooking like the 5" ti and 5" ss is better for big fires?

[@offcourseoutdoors8366]

I have used the Freestyle with many different fuel sources and at high temps. I have had no issues with the SS but have experienced a little warping with the Ti since its thinner. The G2 5” is a beast so there is no comparison. Both stoves including the Nano can take what ever you give it. Hope this helps, cheers!

[@jamesabond9332]

As you mentioned the square configuration what grill panel do you for bottom or do have get one made etc

[@offcourseoutdoors8366]

Thanks for you question. The answer is in a video I'm about to post. Cheers! (cool name by the way)

[@garyprice8330]

Can u put 3 free styles together to make a bigger grill

Please don’t put anymore ideas in my head…lol. I don’t know for sure but pretty sure someone has done it. I even saw one going vertical!

Be careful not to put the box into the Lament Configuration.

[@nikilyne-me2wb]

Just got my kit and finding it difficult to fit everything into the black case- can you fit all your grades plus two firebox into one case and if so how do you tesselate it?

[@offcourseoutdoors8366]

In my "DECONSTRUCTING FIREBOX FREESTYLE - 6 & 8 PANEL" video, at the 5:06 minute mark, you can fold it in this fashion so it can slide into the black case. There are alot of grates that come with the kit so expect some bulging of the case or you can just remove what you dont need. Let me know if I answered your question correctly, cheers!

[@ernestocarig687]

Super complicated they call that a toys

[@offcourseoutdoors8366]

Erector set for a the outdoors! Lol, cheers!

[@davidstalter6006]

That stove is asking for too much during setup... Don't care if it is a great stove... Set-up time ruins it.. I'd rather just cook on a log.

[@offcourseoutdoors8366]

It can be quite intimidating. I typically set it up the way I want it before I head out. Cooking on a log is great fun! Cheers!

There is a bit of a learning curve with the "Everything Kit" but once you get it, the flexibility of the stove is a benefit. Thanks for watching, cheers!
