    We would like your feed back on this product.



    We are looking about bringing these stoves into Canada. I have played around with these on our last fly in trip and they work great! What I liked best is that they are compact and very easy to light. Retail is aprox $30, so if you are a casual camper or you would just like to have something for emergencies these are a much more economical option to propane stoves. Your thoughts?

    At that price point I would give it a try , handy as a backup. Approximately how much they weight? And could you use other wood sources in this container ?

    These are sold as using fuel pucks of pressed wood shavings. You can run them in anything that will burn, like biomass, though your cooking time will be less.

    I know these seem affordable, but I think you can do better.

    I really like the alcohol stoves like those from Trangia or the Pathfinder shop. You can get a better tool for less money I think.

    The Pathfinder Shop sells kits that let you run an alchohol burner OR biomass for not much more money. They are sold as more of a bushcraft thing, but I've cooked proper meals on them.

    A cooking can and 4 round fuel cells weighs 2.75 LBS. The fuel cells are stored flush in the can.

    Looks good but you could also check out the Kelly Kettle with Hobo stove. It uses dry branches leaves etc. and will boil water in a few minutes.

    If you put the cover back on when she a burning will the can implode ? Will it relight afterwards ? Tryed something similar ( 1 gal paint can and a wetted TP roll with rudding alcohol after a couple times the lid didn't seal ) them bagels look kinda like stove pellets, (sawdust and Paraffin wax ) burn time ?
