Woodgas Camping Stove XL

This is my new Woodgas Camping Stove XL. It just arrived today. This is the larger version, runs on 2 AA batteries and has 2 speeds. The entire stove is stainless steel and appears to be well made for a stove. My battery wire plug was dead out of the box and I had to modify it to get it to work. I love this stove. it is too heavy for backpacking but for emergencies and sustenance living it is awesome. It boiled 2 cups of water in a heavy steel pot in under 3 minutes on high.

battery pack? wtf

[happycamper001]

yes battery pack. 2 AA batts. this type of stove has a fan that forces the air into the heating chamber. Fully gassifying biomass is almost impossible without forced air. you could use a solar panel but only with sunshine. this is the fastest stove I have ever used in reguards to boil times, it can beat any isobutane on the market, but it is certainly a different type of stove.

@happycamper001 The fan makes it efficient and pretty clean burning! But, is it gassifying ? Hmf ? !

[happycamper001]

@perki1952 yes it is fully gassifying.. the only flames are at the ports at the top of the burn chamber where the gas is coming out.

Does it create a lot of soot on the pot? Nice stove :)

[happycamper001]

very little if any. if you use really good fuel like wood pellets and let it start fully gassifying it does not leave any. the gassification process burns 99+ % of the fuel including what would have been soot.

how do batteries survive to heat

[bucketrobbert]

made my own easy to make good fun all you need is a 50 mm 12v PC fan couple of tins cost me 7 UK pounds to make and a hour of drilling cutting it better than a rocket stove the first thing i made 1 day i might film it working i tested it in rain not fun but worked lol

[WRETCHEDxSINNER]

yes, but does it blend?

@happycamper001

I also have one, XL, and I am glad to have bought it. Its weakness is, besides the flimsy battery pack, the three aluminum rivets on the top of the stove. After a few cycles of heating and cooling, one rivet gave up. I drilled the three out, and replaced with steel rivets. No problem, and ever after!

Bonjour,

I send you a video where you can watch an exemple of gazeifier of all materials:

Sorry for my english.

Pretty cool and powerful and is it hard to make one?

Not sure how long it burns but might be possible to build sealed contraption on top that stove to transfer heated air inside a tent. Just need fan forced intake duct with long enough output duct to go to tent. Thinking ducts that folded flat be needed to minimize packing.

kind of stuppid it takes batterys
