asking ...... what a to pack racksack ? im looking something use pack set up put the corner ready to use in a min, notice im trying to do long hacking like 6 month or more in the woods any idea im a beginner beginer
My grand-dad showed me how to make a camp stove out of a old coffee can and fence wire , it will fold down to fit in your hat. i'd make a video of it but then everyone would want one. He said he learned to make it from an hobo back in the depression era. Thanks for sharing your video.Rob
Nice vid. I wonder if you made the pot support out of a more solid material like a can with lots of small holes, you may not need the wind blocker thingy and if you get the right amount of tiny holes, the stove w/ be more like a jet stove light, boiling the water faster. Same concept as a fireplace controling the amount of air will determine how long your wood lasts.
Have you tried it. I haven't but theoretically sounds feasable to me.
I bought one of these after a little research (and seeing this video!) - This stove is EXCELLENT! Another advantage not touched on in the video is that a gasification stove is very low-vis - there is very little smoke from this stove (unless you use wet wood, duh.) and it burns very efficiently. 5 minutes of picking up twigs and sticks gives me over a half hour of heat. This will see a lot of use on the AT next spring!
I like your stuff. Your presentations / demonstrations. You're... nice to listen to and watch. I think that's because I see your real enthusiasm shining through.
Also.. some good teachings... like about the windscreen directing heat upwards so the pan/pot gets maximum efficiency of heat.
Anyway.. please review a Kelly Kettle / Storm Kettle / Volcano Stove in near future. Thanks.
hey Jason, I was just rewatching your vid and saw something cool. At 2:21, when you are waving your hands, the flame goes from horizontal to vertical. Great demo!
thanx for the video i think the compact wood burning stove is better tho because it boils water faster and you can feed the fire through the fuel port.
Ah, don't make me play favorites! They're both great stoves. I think the Bushbuddy is overpriced though so the Bushwhacker certainly wins in the price dept.
There are a lot of Park Ranger nannies and/ or nazi's around my area of forested public parks that like to enforce the, "No Open Fires" policy. Do you suppose that this stove design would be acceptable or legal to use in forested parks that prohibit open fires?
It is not Nazis, many an idiot has started a forest fire and when conditions are dry. It does not take much. If it was not for the no open fires policy, the forest you enjoy may not be there.
I built one of these stoves today and tried it out. It worked great. very light, and cheap to build. I already had the perfect can for the burn chamber and bought the quart paint can for 2.86 at home depot. marked it and drilled the holes. used some hardware cloth for the pot stand and that was it. took me about 30 minutes. I used wood pellets for fuel. I used a large fruit can for a pot and boiled 2 cups of water in 11 minutes, rolling boil. tip let the stove gasify first. thanks.
as always Jason, a well done review. Hope you and your wife have a great christmas season. one quick question what is your favorite Fly to fish trout with? I tie a little, hope to post some tutorials soon. anyway Merry Christmas.
Got a BushWacker from Jim and it is versatile. What I really like is that after my water boils I can take off the pot stand and set the pot right on the stove and it keeps my water hot for up to 30/40 minutes. Great for simmering as well.
Good to see a positive review of this very affordable stove.
Ha, ha, good guess. Nope. Loretto Heights Park kind of near Federal & Hampden. A total cop out--I know. But we just couldn't make it to the mountains that weekend.
I totally understand you!!!I made myself a wood gas stove but the amount of work it took to produce something half decent was too much.I don't think I could do it again!!!
Well, I tent to use a different stove every time I go out because I'm always experimenting (yes, I'm that sick!). So, I use it sometimes, sometimes I take one of my other designs, or one of Tinny's designs. But I'm really fascinated by Jim Falk's wood stoves and have been playing with them for a while now.
Super Vid as always Jason. so nice that you did a review of Jim's stove. I try to never fill past the bottom of the top holes and avoid soot that way ;o)
There was only a little smoke on the initial lightup--that's normal, right? Also, there was not soot--only a little black residue on the pot. I didn't even have to wash it after. It was kind of windy though--I'm glad I brought the windscreen.
I'm not a scientist so my explanation will probably be terrible but...In this type of stove, the wood gets heated to the point where it releases gasses. Those gases are actually what burns and becomes the fuel for the stove. In a regular wood stove, it's just the wood burning as the fuel. If anyone else can explain it better, please do.
Looks like the MS13 gang all ready tagged you park.

Not a very efficient sort of stove if you have to use a windbreak.
No sale here.

get a snow peak stove and a gas container. more efficient. more compact. more reliable. less work. faster.

Hey Paul,
There are threads about this in the forums. I think you have to contact the actual park to see if wood burning stoves count as "fires" or not.

If it were gasifying properly you would not have smoke or soot on your pot. Perhaps it was too windy to get up to wood distillation temperature.

There was only a little smoke on the initial lightup--that's normal, right? Also, there was not soot--only a little black residue on the pot. I didn't even have to wash it after. It was kind of windy though--I'm glad I brought the windscreen.
