Before you ask NO i didn't put petrol in it. I was testing how long cooking oil would last as a fuel. It was fine until right when the fuel was almost out, the vapours started burning really hot (red flames and red fire pit). I turned the fan off cause i thought it would overheat burning that hot, I didn't have anything to smother the fire. Trying to tip it to extinguish the flames was a bad idea. Where's water when I need it?!

[TimpBizkit]

Do you know if there are spare parts to this make of stove cause I had a nasty mishap with mine and ended up setting fire to the base where all the electronics are (ouch!!). I mean stuff like the resistor, battery connections and possibly the motor. I should have bought some water

What are the dimensions and weight of this stove?

[TrickSeventy8]

Is that a fire station across the street? ;-)

Thanks for this vid, I plan on getting one. Got a

couple of questions.

1. Is it ok to start the fan at high speed?

2. If you want to simmer down the cooking, will it

continue to burn if you pull the cord?

[wulfesinger67]

it will cook if you unplug the fan the fan just forces air in and creates a hotter flame just like a blacksmiths forge.

Plastic wrapped wood....nice

this guy used my time.

[skaterdude1229]

why did you wached the vid then

DUMBASS

[hornstra1]

Lol thanks to you, he did it again.

[akwroclaw]

maybe you'd better look at some water than at a fire?

Melt the wax place lint in the coffee filter dip the lint in the wax allow to cool and save them up for your next big adventure. Or just carry some fluid its up to you but you can be fully self-sufficient. Bring a camp axe to break down your wood to feed the stove and you will be done with cooking quickly. I have found that if you get enough small branches you can use pliers to save your hands. This stove works best with branches and twigs.

What I like about it is you can get a consistent fire if you are prepared it will cook as good as the flame in your home. Notice his pot was not blackened as with traditional wood fires done right this a clean burn. It isn't the lightest stove you can pack but you can operate this little unit for what you can find. Here is the recipe for a great fire starter and I can always get my hands on old candles coffee filter and lint around home.

You have to load the stove properly you fill the chamber as much as you can use some fluid and light it. After lighting it turn the fan on low when you reach temps where the stove sounds like a little rocket then you turn it on high reload the stove with larger pieces of wood then put your cooking vessel on. Have your smaller fuel ready this thing doesn't wait for you to get back to it on your time.

I dont mean to whiz in anyones cheerios, but, if Im gonna heat something up over open flame while camping, I will just use the coals of my fire. Why lug another piece of gear just to build a fire in a metal can.

If Im gonna carry a designated cooking device, its gonna be my propane burner.

There are many areas where an open fire is prohibited. For example, I live in CT. There are no open fires allowed on the AT or any other public trails in CT. Becides, the whole idea is to save time with a quick gathering of small wood, to burn with a clean flame that doesn't smut up your pot, and to make it so you don't have to carry fuel. (this is more important to distance hikers)

If you make a slanted wood chamber it will probably consume the twigs towards the opening of the same chamber being a little higher.

[kode1303]

Hey, that's practical! Simply go to the nearest shop and buy some batteries for the fan and some bamboo sticks for fuel - then you can survive anywhere! ;-)

Besides, I think its cool.

[happybonzo]

why not just use a Kelly Kettle?

[Austinjoke]

Please tell me those were shish-ka-bobs sticks and not matches.

[neilscott1000]

I was considering buying one, but wood gas stoves work on the principle of secondary burning, ie burning the gas that is a result of the initial combustion and heating with a blue flame, this video surely shows only primary combustion, burning with an orange flame surely not a good advert for this make of wood gas stove, do you have an image of the gas burning? The whole point of secondary burning it to reduce the amount of material consumed and at the same time being more efficient.

[hexayurt]

Yeah, when I made this video, I hadn't got the hang of the wood stove yet. Please see the other clip from Lindsey which has the stove working properly.

[agungk]

why not make wood chamber attached slanted on the side of the stove, so that when exposed wood is consumed, it will automatically slide down, exposing new segment to be burned. that way wood consumption is regulated besides providing easier access for adding more woods.

Vinay has been discussing a design concept *very* similar to this with the stove makers. It's a great idea =)
