Bushcraft Essentials Bushbox Outdoor Pocket Stove

Product Information

So far I've only used this product together with an alcohol stove. For this it works really nicely. A Trangia burner can be securely clamped in the slots for the lower ashtray, hence in this setup you only really need the three side plates. I only wish the protruding pot stands would be a bit wider (further towards the centre of the side plates), to make a more stable base for smaller pots.

We think this stove is a novelty item for survivalist types who like to go out on weekends and try different methods to live off of the land. It is also a good item for your zombie apocalypse survival kit. If you run out of white gas for cooking your scavenged cans of beans and whatnot, the Bushbox would work well. In all seriousness — there may be certain thru-hikers who love this stove and could use it to cook Ramen noodles every day — but this would take a lot of diligence and good weather. We definitely recommend reading the directions before using the Bushbox. Value More than anything else, this is why my Bushbox Ultralight stove would be a primary item I would choose for a bugout bag for the zombie apocalypse. Sustainability through longevity — stoves are designed and manufactured to the highest manufacturing specifications possibleThis cleverly-designed little firebox stove has all the qualities that make a great piece of outdoor gear. It is lightweight, compact, durable, and adaptable to a variety of heat sources and cookware. Using a pot of 95-98mm diameter means it fits between the supports on the top of the stove (and it won't fall through), so you won't need to carry or use the top trivet. As mentioned above, you can assemble your Bushbox Ultralight Stove with the grill plate in any one of three positions. But you can also switch the grill plate and trivet, or just use the trivet as a base plate if you are using an alcohol stove. I gave use 4 stars because you have to make sure that the pot you are using fits inside the elevated potrests or is big enough to fit stabil on top of them. The Bushbox Ultralight also updrafts the alcohol stoves much better than would be if they were sitting directly on the ground, Basically this means they get more oxygen and burn more efficiently. And as mentioned above, the bottom grill plate can be adjusted so that the flame of the alcohol burner is the ideal distance from your cook pot.

One huge gray area with firebox stoves is whether or not they are considered an “open fire” or not. While this hardly matters in a place where you can have a campfire, in many parks and public lands, open fires are either restricted or outright prohibited. With the included trivet you can use the stove with almost all pot sizes, extremely variable and versatile.The first time you assemble the Bushbox Ultralight is a bit of a challenge and you will be worried about bending or breaking something. But the pieces are very strong and the design, again. is ingenious. Once you get the hang of it, you can have it together in 30 seconds or less.
