In these days with so many people stock piling for "survival", in addition to canned goods and other pantry items, having a little stove like this is a great idea for more efficient cooking if one has lost all other means of cooking due to some kind of outage or catastrophe. I myself have purchased one of those butane cook tops and several cans of fuel. I also have a fire pit I could always use.
thank you, seems nice for bushcraft light, as you said, Water oder small cooking eggs or sausages friying for. example, a light "bushbox" for always have in the daypack i think.
I like ketchup with egg lol as well as hot sauce. been looking into small wood burning stoves for a while now, mostly thanks to you Andy 😅 appreciate all the reviews and videos
Great little stove, loved the other review video for the bushbox stoves, pretty sure i recognised one that is similar to one i have, i think the brand name is lixana? bought it of ebay, pretty nifty, all good really, cons would be just minor tweeks on the design, i do have a question have you heard of the parabolic solar cookers, and mini solar stoves or done any product trials/ reviews for them?

I dont know if anyone else has mentioned this but if the the matt is heat proof then when you packed away where did the scorch mark on the ground come from 🤔
The scorch may be from when he tried the stove without the mat prior to filming then realizing he needs the mat for safety. He does mention that at the start.
@snotina anything is possible but he actually stated he didn't realise until the last time he used it, also he opens it up and lights the stove without once placing it on the bare ground 🤔
The mat is heat proof, not heat blocking. Too many people make that mistake. It will not burn and it will stop flames reaching the ground and spreading. It will also stop embers. It will not however stop the heat from penetrating and scorching / baking whatever is underneath. Though helpful, these mats are *not* a magic bullet that makes fire completely safe. Use proper fire safety principles as always.
@MikeMakesUK If that is the case then surely it will not be useful at all and will give a false sense of security, however in my experience using my own matts I have never experienced any scorching at all 🤔
@@wildwaysbushcraftsurvivals5416 I'd say that keeping the fire from spreading is pretty useful. They do this by blocking flames and embers while restricting oxygen to the ground they are on. In the same way as a fire blanket will put out a pan fire. They are basically the same thing after all. But they need to be used with knowledge of their limitations. Those limitations will vary depending on the mat itself. Some will help block some heat until the heat overwhelms them. We tend to think of these in the same way we think of water proof. Not realising that they are very different. In fact water proof is also a relative term very much the same as heat proof is. After all, water proof is not water tight. Yes, good quality mats should block more heat than others. Ideally they would block all heat. But we have to remember that in marketing, subtlety is crucial in understanding a product. A small difference in name, while meaningless in normal conversation, makes all the difference. Fruit juice is not the same as fruit drink for instance. And heat proof is not the same as heat blocking although a heat proof product might also block heat, that is not the promise made in the claim. They will reduce heat transfer, but not block it. The better the mat, the better the reduction as one would think. In this case, the mat has not reduced the heat transfer very much at all, yet it still lived up to it's claim of being heat proof. But then so does the stove itself. That is why we need to know the equipment that we use and in the case of safety equipment, unless there is no other option, it is best to treat it as though it isn't there at all. No safety equipment is a substitute for good practice. You may have noticed that Andy checked the ground before covering and leaving it as he does with any fire. So what you say about it giving a false sense of security is precisely my point. People do the same with disposable barbeques, thinking that the fire is contained, yet they cause many fires in the UK every year. These mats are not useless, but they are what they are and we should keep that in mind. I hope through my rambling on, you understand what I am trying the say here.
I noticed you had soot on the bottom of your pot after cooking above the Trangia... Ignore anyone who suggests mixing water into your methylated spirits and simply figure out a way to reduce the distance between your pot and the top of the Trangia down to around 3cm, as this is the optimal combustion zone. Anything exceeding that distance and your pot is in the yellow part of the flame which signifies incomplete combusion and therefore soot from the uncombusted carbon particles. You might have noticed this when you saw that when using your Trangia 27 kit, your pots never get sooty but your frying pan bottom gets covered in soot. It's simply due to the excessive distance between the Trangia burner and the cooking surface. This is an unfortunate design flaw of the Trangia 27/25-series cooksets.
I think the hole is very very small. Overall, folding stoves are absolutely amazing tho. Once you got the fire going you got a very safe fire and a steady cooking place. Rain is your biggest enemy tho
Andy, I'm both shocked and appalled by this video. Using ketchup rather than brown sauce? It's just not done sir. Hurruph, hurruph. Just kidding mate. Great video and a cool little twig burner.
I notice the list of compatible pots are not exactly budget lines I'm pretty sure the old bog standard 500ml stainless mug that fits under a Nalgene would fit
@@hulabiker21 I've lived in the UK all my life and didn't know about Ganesha until I started travelling to India on business. I'd think it pretty unusual for a non-Hindu, or a person without any kind of relation to Hinduism to have much of a grasp of these stories. So given the first few seconds of the video where he says Ganesha in a sort of unfamiliar way, I thought Andy might enjoy a bit of mythology which would explain the name and also the elephant logo on the other side. Hope this helps with the comment's oddness.
@@BenRelle I have also lived in the UK all my life, but have never travelled to India, however I have many work colleagues from the Indian subcontinent.

I wouldn’t “automatically” assume anyone else in the UK would have no knowledge of these things. I hope this clarifies why I found your comment odd.
Let us be honest; the best use of this stove ‘possibly’ is for camping. Visited the website and sensed a scam normally used these days by giving a social connect to the product. Please don’t try to give a social angle to it as it solves no problem at all and is not something unique. Website shows villagers in Nepal using and ditching their traditional stoves. This is a scam! In no way this stove can be used as a regular cooking device, at the most it ca be an outdoor tea/coffee preparing one. I am from Nepal and this stove does nothing significant to make the lives of villagers easy. Just market the damn thing as a camping stove, that’s it!
They’re light, they pack flat, they serve as a windscreen and pot stand, they can be used with alcohol or wood or a remote gas canister. As a canoeist who could have multiple 500-1000 metre portages in a day, this set-up is attractive.

I love the fireproof case. Very nice touch. I also really like stick stoves. Crazy how much you can cook with such a small amount of wood.
Really puts things in prospective. My village inhabitants are used to cook with a fireplace and firewood used is twentyfold

Andy, I'm very much enjoying these short videos, I can just dip in during my lunch :)
I forgot this was a review, it was so much like the camping videos! Great job!
So good of you to break your fast with a video for us whilst cookin your bacon and egg.
Thank you for posting another video Andy! I finally got to wear my Kent hoodie this week because it's finally cooling down! Ahhhh so comfy!
Excellent review Sir Andy ✊🏼🧐🫡
Cheers from California USA 🇺🇸

Really good video buddy. Keep em coming.
Ideal Lightweight stove take anywhere I like it thinking of buying one cheers Andy for sharing this review 🤔👍
The fire proof mat is a genius peice of engineering
Wonderful share sir, love the whole package, would probably want one a little bigger myself but this is perfect for a lighter pack out
Small but mighty. It cooks plenty hot already. The only issue is getting small enough wood
Very nice Andy!
Quite efficient and quick for a little wood burner
I don’t think you can beat a wood burning stove personally I just love them 👍🏴
Looks a good bit of kit Andy.
Another great video
It looks like a little castle.😊
Nice review Andy 👍👍. As I'm looking at updating my old twig/stove. I have to have hp brown sauce on my egg & bacon butties 😋😋😋😋
Nice 💯
5:42 much better bacon than usual!!

Yeah I've wanted to know that for time, just never asked, are they 100% waterproof, Andy.?

Love my Bushbox XL 🎉
When you put the ketchup on I winced and then commented on it 😂. I’m a hot sauce/mustard/horseradish guy.
I like the stove.
I learnt this in school with bunsen burners.

It's simply due to the excessive distance between the Trangia burner and the cooking surface. This is an unfortunate design flaw of the Trangia 27/25-series cooksets.
I've found applying a little washing up liquid to the bottom of the pan makes the soot a lot easier to wipe off afterwards
Ah! This makes total sense. Adding the water changes the combustion zone. But you don't need to do that if you place it right!
Nice
Red sauce with bacon!!!! It has to be Brown for me. 😁
I wonder if you made a smaller fire like it was made for with less wood if it would have cooked better not as hot???
I think the hole is very very small. Overall, folding stoves are absolutely amazing tho. Once you got the fire going you got a very safe fire and a steady cooking place. Rain is your biggest enemy tho
Is that woodland your own because the background looks very familiar

Oh wow, this is a double wall wood stove, i didnt really see the gasifier affect with the stove though.
whats the burning liquid kent is using
you must be in the UK ???
What shirt is that? me want's one! 😄
Are plastic tarps any good?
Price?
the channel lives again...
this stove is interesting
but alas with the economy I can't afford gear much less camping
Andy, I’ve always been curious. What’s that dispenser you use for your alcohol? I’ve been wanting to get one for myself.
thats a Trangia fuel bottle
That is a Trangia Fuel Bottle.
Thank you gents!
I blooming love ketchup 😍😆 so I'm on your side.
❣️💕💙💝💖❤️💗♥️😇
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Nice review. I am also very fond of ketchup 😊
save me from rain!!
🙂👍🍺
I love ketchup!!!
No ketchup please mustard is the way to go!!!
Nothing wrong with ketchup!!!!
Whats wrong with people complaining about ketchup 😅
Ketchup is tomato wine !
I just use the ground for my stove, build a fire and throw the pot on, no stove even required and takes no space or added weight.
4:30 No metric on the screen
When you took it out of bag, I was like, man, that thing sounds flimsy and thin.
Me no like sound, me pass.

Sort of a poor man’s firebox stove, maybe?
possibly the other way around, as firebox aren't gasifier stoves.
If I was starving I would use it but no thanks.
