Glad I'm not the only one with a stove addiction ;)

Everyone always advertises those butane and propane stoves. This is the real deal. Not always gonna have corporate distributed gas canisters around in a survival/camp scenario. Much more realistic and useful for long term. Unlimited uses

The firebox especially the titanium version is the king 👑 of wood stoves 🤗

Every time you greet us with your smile it brings such joy!!! Love your channel! Learning so much lately! Love from Seattle, USA.

The Firebox can use wood, pellets, propane, sterno, solid fuel or charcoal. Not only do they have that baking system, there is an option for the Billy can to be a steamer and there is also a pizza stone and they’ve just come out with a rotisserie system. There is an upgrade to a leather case. Those hooked rods can also hang the grill grates on the side like a shelf to keep things warm. I haven’t seen a compact camp stove that is as versatile. I watched a video explaining the hole pattern on the side which had to do with the physics of the design, heat direction, etc. I’ve ben looking at camp stoves and reading reviews and I haven’t seen a stove that offers me the choices the Firebox does. At this point that is my number one contender as I won’t be hiking so I don’t need something light.

Kent, I didn’t know you before this video, but I have watched more and I have grown found of you. Anyway, I watched this one year ago, and you convinced me to try the picogrill. I actually got a really good knock-off from Amazon Japan called Huanbush, and I am overjoyed. Truly, thank you for showing me this kind of stove! I’d never have the cash for a real picogrill and got both 85 and 239 knock-offs for 30€, incl shipping AND some skewers for the bigger one. I am in love with these. Got a cheap titanium pot as well, and my wood stove cookset weighs less than some backpacker’s kits, And I do actual cooking with these! I’d buy you a pint if I could

Thank you for a very thorough comparison of several options; it will surely help for people who are considering each of the options. Hike well and happily!

Try the gasifier stove with wood pellets it works great. Smashing video by the way

[robertleslie]

Original Firebox all day every day. Love it long time!

Ad I saw first on this video was from Solo Stove... which make camping stoves that I have used with a carbon steel wok and the pots and tripod and so on. I can use about any dry biofuel

[enigmarocker]

I loved this video. Thank you! Lots of extra credit for you filming them all burning at once!

[alanshaw]

absolutely fantastic overview of the stoves offered. I think I am going to get a pico and a firebox.

[andydawson]

I've used that baking kit and it's the business. Freshly baked cake and bread in camp!! 😉

I’ve just found your channel . I loved watching your reviews, especially when you explained some of the drawbacks. Especially those needing a lot of fuel. Years ago in a moment of clarity, I bought the original firebox nano 1st generation ( the one without the tray) and it saved my bacon. I had no access to my bank account for 2 weeks and I was wild camping on a beach in Tenerife until my flight. I ran out of money and couldn’t buy gas for my burner. All I had was the Nano. Because I was on a beach, with other people camping nearby, there was no firewood available but the Nano ran on twigs! So I was able to cook my food and make coffee. I love that little thing. I still take it with me today. It folds up so small, you don’t even know you’re carrying it. I just wanted to big up the Nano. I also just subscribed to your channel because I like your style and your honest, proper reviews. Thanks for this.

Awesome video Firebox is coming out with a new stove in early March on Kickstarter called the Freestyle many different configuration’s -4 inch box, fire trough, triangle, etc.

[ittybitty]

Big smile when I saw all your stoves lined up and operating 🔥🔥🔥🔥 interesting stuff Andy. I am not a camper but after becoming hooked on your videos I feel like I could survive out there if I had to 😃 Thanks again! 🪵🪓🇨🇦

[justanothernoobe]

Awesome vid - I was fully expecting to be convinced to buy a Firebox but then you demo'd the Pico Grill ... thin and light :)

[kevinsmith]

A good and informative video, thanks. Embarrassingly I have 60% of those and a few more you didn't show. I think I may have gotten carried away.

[notreally]

07:01 If you stack the wood nice and tight, standing it up vertically in the stove, you'll get a longer burn. That means you can cook up whatever you want without the constant hassle of refueling.

Have the gasifier stove for a few years now. It is very efficient. Like all the stoves you mentioned, you must control the fuel input to set the cooking temperature. Cooking on coals is the best way to cook but none of these are great at producing even cooking coals (wood fuel, sticks) to cook on without some modification...ie. limiting the size of the air holes in the coal tray w/ aluminum foil...for example. Using just one or two charcoal briquettes is an easy way to control heat w/o too much flame or on the flip side having the flames go out. Hot briquettes is an easy and lightweight way to reestablish a flame with no effort. This method keeps hot coals always available. For an indestructible stove, it's light weight and cost....still around $22. usd, this is an amazing stove which can be used with a Trangia stove, too. Much more than just a "boil water stove" imho. Thanks Andy
