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...

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

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.

[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.

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.

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.

This should be called the balancing act stove.

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 ?

@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....

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.
