hi, nice demonstration of the XL stove, I own one and it's true that it's a great stove for cooking and cooking coffee, tea or water, I personally often use leather gloves for protect myself from burns and wooden spoons to cook meals, thank you for sharing
That thing is awesome i seen a guy on a hiking trail once with that and im old school i like i fire but when i seen how little wood it took and how fast it made water boil i was sold !!!!!! No axe needed.
I really like this firebox, excellent! For now I'm using a grill plate from dollar general ( small cookie sheet with holes about as large as the firebox) for a surface. I might add some hardware store bolts and nuts to make legs, or dig an intrcate fire pit and use green woods.
I received the Bushbox Xl Ti. It weights about just over 500g with the case. There are so many scratches on the unit. I think the Ti material is more susceptible to scraches then stainless steel. I like the way I can use my Evernew alcohol stove with this unit. I carry 4 skewers with the Bushbox so that I can cook lamb kabobs outdoors.
Yi Li sounds like a nice bit iof kit. yes, after you burn it in and wash it a few times with steel wool which is what I use the scratches will not be an issue.
You probably dont care at all but does anybody know of a tool to log back into an Instagram account..? I somehow lost the account password. I would love any help you can offer me!
@Theodore Alex Thanks so much for your reply. I got to the site thru google and Im waiting for the hacking stuff now. I see it takes quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.
Nice stove.I do enjoy a bit of bushcraft myself and thanks to your review i will be one of those lucky people who will buy one of these wonderful stoves.Thankyou very much for your informative review.
Is this a bushbox xl video or a spaghetti video? :) great cooking. well done! 1 small gripe... I would not have washed the sauce off my plate, its sauce.... :) good video atb Gaz
I've been seeing this in a few reviews but most of them "talked more than used it". I loved yours for doing some real time dinner-style cooking! From start to finish it was pretty AWESOME. Thanks! Btw, I liked the pot combo. What materials was that made of? Might get that too. Seems to make a great day trekking bundle. Bravo job and combo kit. Look forward to seeing more of your videos too (new Sub here).
Hi Did the bushcraft XL keep you warm while you were cooking your Spaghetti Bolognese,and could you use it to keep you warm after you've cooked your Campfire meal !!?? 😃
why would you rinse the pan, if you are going to use it as a plate? you are washing away all of those sauce... doesn't make any sense. =) but still godd video mate.
Good review Living, now that you've tested both the Firebox and the Bushbox which one do you prefer? I've got a titanium Bushbox and I love it. I really can't fault it. 1.2 lb of pure joy including the cordura bag. Thanks for the post.
CharlieTango 1 Hello CT. I can't agree that the Bushbox is a copy. Firebox almost got the perfect design but for my money it's too heavy, as is the SS Bushbox. The only similarity is the fact that they are "boxes". The folding mechanism together with the ultra-fast flip-down, integral grate and ashpan are unique to the Bushbox. Firebox showed the way but Bushbox found the path. Bushbox Ti is very expensive but it is THAT good I don't regret having paid it.
Lets just say then, that this design was not Bushboxes, they did have the perfect design and that is why Bushcraft have it, let's just say I know more than I am letting on. enjoy your camping atb Ray
CharlieTango 1 Ray, if you had something to do with designing the Firebox then all I can say is that I waited a long time for the Firebox Ti design to be perfected. It never came. I know that there were a lot of issues with warping and it's something I try to avoid with the Bushbox by not having a raging fire. (The grate on the Bushbox is SS). May I respectfully suggest that any inventor needs to keep his ideas closer to his chest than a straight flush. Loose talk costs millions. I wish you well. Paul.
+Average Joe Survival this and the firebox are the heavier of the larger stoves. I recommend the emberlit titanium if you want a larger stove that is super lightweight.
Hey great vid man. Just out of curiousity, and with ur other vids on the firebox stove, which one do you prefer? I know they are both excellent stoves but I'd like to see wat you like. Great vid again
Stephen Tutty The firebox and bushbox xl are very similar, hard to say which is better. I like them both, but also like the solo stove because it is super efficient and the 180 tack stoves because they are more open and support a lot of weight.
How does this compare to the Firebox? I have the Firebox, and almost bought this, but I heard this warps easier than the Firebox. Also the prices are way higher... I got the Firebox from Amazon for 90$ (Canadian). This thing is closer to 120$ ?!?! (Over 150 on Amazon Canada) Seems a bit steep for what I see as an inferior product. But would like to hear your thoughts seeing as how you have both... I do like that Bushbox offers a Ti version though (but it's like 300$!!)
Living Survival thanks for your input. I opted to get the Ti Firebox nano for ultralight backpacking use, and I’ll keep using my original Firebox for car camping trips. Btw: I like your vid on the Ti nano
its a great review for the stove, it seems to work real fine and for both real hard cooking work and more moderate heat. thanks for showing, ill watch a few more and then buy the titanium version i think :)
39camper Hi there, I can answer that question, they have been copied from the firebox and then he has put is own price on them, and you are paying a lot more for them, why don't you go direct to, www.fireboxstove.com this is the small company that designed them and makes them, talk to Steve, they also make a smaller stove called the Gen2 Nano firebox stove, I have one of these they are brilliant.
This is the better cooking box, due to being heavy duty, stainless Steel, so don't get a cheaper model, get this X L. and also remember that the put together type, means you must see good enough to put together, even in the dark, plus you can not afford to loose just once side panel of the cheaper type, . so U get what U pay 4, and pay 4 what U get. This is one of the best, . NO doubt.
I noticed mine had slightly warped after it's first use this weekend near the feet. It was carefully used so no chance it was damaged by mistake. I'll keep an eye on it this weekend too.
This comment, and others like it about the bushbox made me buy the Firebox instead. But how bad is the warping? I'm guessing it's still useable, but probably a bit annoying right?
Nick Jenks Both great stoves, with pots larger than shown in this video like a frying pan or a dutch oven I would use the 180 Tack since its lower and wider. Both pack about the same but the Bushbox XL is a bit more efficient and can boil water super quick (great for melting snow).
*Never mind. I rewatched your video. Toaks. I have the 750ML Cup by Toaks already. I just recieved my very own Bushbox XL. I agree.. There are some significant weight to it, but I think it will be overshadowed by the usefulness of the bushbox. ''*
ha ha - i like the way you got carried away with the meal so much you quit explaining all the things the stove can do. that is what happens to you if you cook spag boll.
This stove is nothing more than a German copy of the Firebox stove and it costs more than if you went direct to www.fireboxstove.com as this is the company that designed and make it, why pay more for the same thing??, when you can get it direct.
CharlieTango 1 I've had the talk with Steve stating they copied the design, however they are not the same design. Similar designs are the nature of the business. Both great stoves and there are better ones out there than both of them.
+CharlieTango 1 The Firebox stove is A-symmetrical, the Bushbox is symmetrical and I find easier to use and aesthetically more pleasing. The Bushbox has a feeding gap for wood better than any other stove of this type. Different stove on the same theme and as you say pretty much a copy......however, although the Firebox may have been first, the Bushbox is a definite improvement! I have both. (I also have a genuine 'wild stoves' woodgas stove which is very hot, but crap, so don't get one of those whoever is reading this!)
@@livingsurvival do you mind sharing which stoves you think are better than the BBXL and FBG2? I am leaning towards the BBXL Ti but would like to review other stoves you think may be better. Thanks
I wouldn't have bothered rinsing out the pan before eating out of it, and only half the meat you're taking. Which totally is irrelevant to the stove review ;)

Your cooking skills leave much to be desired friend. Far too much water to cook the noodles. A bit of a waste in a survival and also time conservation factor. Also you splatter your food everywhere... Then... you heated your sauce, poured it into your meal... then washed out and wiped out the same container you placed the same stuff in... really...

Just purchased this….. thanks so much for filming this came in the mail today…..burgers tonight!

Hey, man. That's a nice stove. A lot smaller than the Solo, too.
I like this stove with folding hinges appreciate you sharing this video.i'm gettin one.
Just got mine Friday, with the extra large grill plate .cant wait too try it. thanks for a great video
+Kevin McCoy nice, let me know how you like it !
thanks for a proper review. great to see something being used rather than unboxing and calling that a review. will be getting one. thanks again
+selfreliance 101 i try to do that with all my videos. actually use the stuff :)
+Living Survival it's appreciated 😊

Thank you for a superb video...start to finish! Got to get the XL.
So which stove do you prefer; the Bushbox XL or the Firebox Gen 2?
Thanks for the video, what pot brand is this?
Allot of trivial comments on cleaning the plate, how about thanks for sharing
People.......
Thanks for the great review and your thumbs up!
***** Thanks for watching!
Awesome stove! Especially when the water boils that fast, its gotta be good.

that's a slick stove! I like this one best, out of all the ones I've seen you review.
It's a best for sure!
Great video, thank you! I'm returning a faulty Lixida stove and I have the Bushbox XL stove on order! 🌞

mine did not come in today :(

it will come, be patient :-)
Nice work on that video. Good cooking also. Thanks for showing us all that.
Hi Did the bushcraft XL keep you warm while you were cooking your Spaghetti Bolognese,and could you use it to keep you warm after you've cooked your Campfire meal !!?? 😃
You make a mean spaghetti sir! The whole time I watched I was thinking "I want some of that".
May I ask….what cook set are you using? thank you!
Is this steel or titanium? Have you had any warping?
hi ben , just wanted to know how much it weighs as I might get it for christmas. thx
Great video. How well does the grill plate work for cooking meat or veggies?
+papasteel804 good if you keep the heat controlled.
why would you rinse the pan, if you are going to use it as a plate? you are washing away all of those sauce... doesn't make any sense. =)
but still godd video mate.
WHY would you "rinse" and "clean" the pan if you are just using it to eat the same food out of it??? W O W
wtf are you saying? stfu fanboy.
Acousdestruction I thought the same thing man. Rinsed all that sauce out AND wasted water
What are the dimensions and weight on this stove ? It looks very nice.
Good review Living, now that you've tested both the Firebox and the Bushbox which one do you prefer? I've got a titanium Bushbox and I love it. I really can't fault it. 1.2 lb of pure joy including the cordura bag. Thanks for the post.
TheRunereaper both are really similar. I would love the titanium.
CharlieTango 1 Hello CT. I can't agree that the Bushbox is a copy. Firebox almost got the perfect design but for my money it's too heavy, as is the SS Bushbox.

TheRunereaper CharlieTango 1 Most products are copies of another. This is nothing new. Either way both stoves are great but heavy.
I really like the look of it but I'm thinking it'll be too heavy to be a decent item to take. Do you think it's too heavy?
+Average Joe Survival this and the firebox are the heavier of the larger stoves. I recommend the emberlit titanium if you want a larger stove that is super lightweight.
Thanks, I'll check it out!
My favorite wood burner
Deep South Experience works good but is heavy.
Is that a titanium cooking set? If it is could you please tell me where I can get it? I like it a lot.

Love this stove, only reason I don't have one is the price. Embelit is $35. But the Bushbox XL is really cool.
Yeah agreed is a bit on the high side.
How does this compare to the Firebox? I have the Firebox, and almost bought this, but I heard this warps easier than the Firebox. Also the prices are way higher...

Yes I chose bush box for opening to feed wood
Vary awesome video, love the stove. I really like the first 600ml pot with the bale, what is it???
That is a 750ml toaks titanium with bale. Has a nice lid too. Great pot.
where do you get it from??

+pimppinoy nice. i use toaks titanium gear.
hey thanks. just what i need. gonna add it to my kit now.
Thanks, I also wanted to know that. :-)
Dont know about you guys but i have had problems with warping after a while, making it hard to open and close
I haven't had that issue with this one, however it is still fairly new. I have had issues with stoves with thinner metal.
I noticed mine had slightly warped after it's first use this weekend near the feet. It was carefully used so no chance it was damaged by mistake. I'll keep an eye on it this weekend too.
This comment, and others like it about the bushbox made me buy the Firebox instead. But how bad is the warping? I'm guessing it's still useable, but probably a bit annoying right?
Would you recommend this or a 108 tack stove
Nick Jenks Both great stoves, with pots larger than shown in this video like a frying pan or a dutch oven I would use the 180 Tack since its lower and wider. Both pack about the same but the Bushbox XL is a bit more efficient and can boil water super quick (great for melting snow).
Ok thanks!
Thank 4 the share!

Great video
Great video man!
You still have this, Ben?
Lellobeetle Yes
Living Survival Well, even though I have a Firebox, I went ahead and sprang for this BBXL. Looking forward to using it in a couple months' time.
Cool stove.
Thanks!
You must have scratched the coating on your pot and pan by using the titanium fork.
very nice stove!nice review,too!
thanks my friend!
I'm thinkin I made a good investment in the XL"
Great vid' thank you.....
+Rudy Ormanovich yep, great stove.
Those stoves are ok but I just use a few rocks around my wood fire and that costs nothing.

The titanium version is al t lighter
U didn’t drain meat grease
I hear chain saws near u
U need a long Handel spoon
I would light a can of sterno in there so I wouldn't have to constantly put wood in it
But then you'd have to carry the can plus extra cans and that would add unneccessary weight.
U mean old it with smaller material
girlfriend got me this just last week no bag came with it.
Rex Pepper the combination kit comes with the bag and some other stuff. The stove is sold by itself as well.
You should marry your girlfriend
ha ha - i like the way you got carried away with the meal so much you quit explaining all the things the stove can do. that is what happens to you if you cook spag boll.

Your cooking skills leave much to be desired friend.
Far too much water to cook the noodles. A bit of a waste in a survival and also time conservation factor.
Also you splatter your food everywhere...
Then... you heated your sauce, poured it into your meal... then washed out and wiped out the same container you placed the same stuff in... really...
