Bushbuddy Stove intitial review

[afterthefox7]

This should be called the balancing act stove.

[sweetypie000]

I have a bush buddy ultra and it won't fit in my MSr titan, any ideas on how to make something to protect the ultra but still put it in the bushbuddy ? need to make some kind of protective lid about 3 inches deep and diameter of titan.

i really dont want to buy a snow peak 900 just to fit in my bb

I enjoyed your presentation. I've made two of my own, like so many others, but I'm finding I don't care for their bulk. I'm in the works putting together another one that works similarly, only smaller. We'll see how they fair.

Used this stove exclusively for 8 days in the BWCA last spring. It performed beautifully. You can cook your full meal with a handful of wood fuel. It is so light, and not having to buy/haul other feuls makes this well worth the higher price tag. For me, I just love the sound. Far more peaceful sound than a loud gas powerboil!

[Survivormanism]

Looks like a well built piece of kit

Great video

Great video, what is it about Tea that English folks are so crazy about ?

The main advantage I see with this stove over a true hobo stove is durability. The 3 or 4 minutes less time to boil water does not justify the cost - at least for me, but the fact that this will likely outlast a dozen hobo stoves ( I build a new one every year) might make it a good buy for some. Definitely sturdier for sure.

I would love to see some side-by-side tests done with some other brands and a few home made hobo rigs.

Overall looks like a good set up but too pricey for this bush ape.

[teb0atoz]

It is way to expensive, but then there is supply and demand. But the major thing I see is this is not how you use a wood gas stove. This way it is not much more then a hobo stove. But most UK folks seem to use them this way so...

cheers

I dont use wood in my Bushbuddy, i use Hexamine Blocks, EXTREMELY cheap, and light even when when wet, a quick strike with your firesteel and you have fire for about 4 hours.......:-). Good Video Pablo...

[prmaklpboo]

@WickedBushCraft - Sure that's a good option. I also use a meths burner. Fits in there perfectly.

[tootallify]

@WickedBushCraft - hello i saw your comment i couldn't help but ask why you use something other than wood/biomass? the stove itself is a wood gas stove. that's why its so efficient. no offense, i just was curious that's all....

[Tuclanifeht]

well, thought i'd put my 2 cents worth in. ive had 1 now for about year and a half. Used it in all conditions, never carry windshield, i just find somewhere suitable like back of tent / tree etc in adverse conditions. I would rate it 10/10. It did go for the cheaper version of the 2, not because im a miser, but becasue the metal used seemed like it would last a lot longer than the slightly lighter 1. Someone mentioned the trailstove, had 1, would give it 0 / 10, seriously make better in 10 mins.

I love this stove! I recently used it to make pasta on New Year's day when the temperature was 12 degrees Fahrenheit with a windchill of 0. Despite a bit of a distraction and lapsing on the fire at one point I had 1 liter of water boiling in 15 minutes and the pasta was cooked to perfection 8 minutes later! It was so cold that when I set the lid of my pot down on the bench the condensation in the lid froze solid in a couple of minutes.

great video - thanks for sharing. Looks like a very nice stove. How do you like it now, after having it for a year or so?

[prmaklpboo]

Yes I still use it when I'm not being lazy and using gas. I've seen may clones now but none as efficient as this.

[woodlanduk]

its a great little stove and if your in or passing through woodland you have no problem with a fuel supply,but as with any fire grade your fuel and go for hard woods for your fuel, starting with birch bark and pine gets you going and ignites from the ferrosteelquite easy

[brutallindigo]

Very very Pricy !

Dont get me wrong it looks like a good stove ...I'm partial to the trailsove its a bit bigger but not even half the price and I've had it for years now .Very reliable stove .

[llshamelessll]

great vid

[Couldntgiveashit]

i have one of these stoves. Not only are these stoves fantastic, work very well, excellent build quality, low weight, environmentally friendly (providing your more careful than a chimpaneze with servere head injuries), cheap to run.. the perfect stove for 1 - 2 people or for back packers/trekers. The company that made them have excellent customer service as well.

[WorldStove]

super review and well lit fire!

[EDCNUT]

Gonna have to get one of these pablo i have just got a trangia for years i have been using gas stoves but thats going to chang now

[dsarti1]

good but at over 100 dollars us it is way way overpriced the Zip stove is better for half the price and you can make your own hobo stove for free

[DavVboy]

The almost undisputed best wood burning stove, yes i do own one. Its lightweight, beautifully made, you will have trouble counting all the spot weilds! The burning process works differently to a hobo stove, the secondarly combustion gives a downdraft using heated air drawn up between the outer and inner skin (you can see it working in this vid). The result is everything turns to fine ash. Shouldn't compare the bushbuddy to a hobo stove just because they both burn wood. Its worth every penny.

[NekopanClock]

Nice knife you've got there, where'd you get it?

[BANGBANG73]

Great, Now I want a cup of tea. Nice stove, Thanks for the demo Pablo.

[ArmyRanger10]

I want to get one but there to expensive.

[prmaklpboo]

I agree. They're not that cheap at all. Try making your own hobo stove out of an old billy can. Not as efficient but it will still work.

[ArmyRanger10]

I have the other pocket stove in your video. Ill use that for now.

[GoldenLohan]

cheers pablo, love your vids,

[Josiah922]

Time for a cup of tea indeed. Thanks for the info.

[mbpearce76]

Another excellent demonstration with the bonus of a cup of tea at the end.:)
