Bushcraft Essentials Bushbox Outdoor Pocket Stove

Product Information

Think of a firebox as simply a tiny, contained and controlled cook fire. It is basically a campfire shrunk down to the size of your cookpot, which makes it incredibly efficient in terms of the amount of wood it takes to cook a meal. Overall, I was very impressed by this little stove. If you're looking for something that is very compact but still want to use biomass that you can find in your surroundings and not carry solid alcohol, then this is your choice away from an Ezbit or Trangia.I mean these are nice choices but less versatile.

Now, ultralight is one thing that makes it perfect for a compact EDC or a hunting trip or a day hiking but one might wonder wether it really works. And the simple answer to this question is : yes, it DOES!Even if you are getting it to use with an alcohol stove, I really do recommend trying to use it as a twig stove. The satisfaction of cooking with a firebox is sublime. Not only are you whipping up a hot meal from renewable fuel you found on the ground, but you are also not adding to the demand for very wasteful fuel canisters. And then there is always something to be said about the experience of cooking over an open flame. A fire pit is an open, lidless container in which a fire can be lit using wood or charcoal. Or, to put it another way, a fire pit is a no-nonsense version of a barbecue, with an extra touch of rugged, outdoorsy appeal. You can cook over a fire pit, or you can simply light it for the warmth. Alcohol stoves come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes, from a simple homemade beer can stove, to ultralight titanium stoves like the , to the traditional Trangia-style burner. When it comes to ultralight cooking with liquid fuel, alcohol stoves are tough to beat. Not only are they generally compact, lightweight, and efficient, but the fuel is widely available and easy to find practically anywhere.

With the Bushbox LF you are completely independent, as it can be used in many different ways and is suitable for natural solid fuels (twigs, branches, leaves, charcoal, animal dung) as well as for spirit burners (e.g. Trangia), Esbit tablets, gel cookers, etc. Again, the great thing about the Bushbox Ultralight is that you can use it with other types of fuels and cooking methods to best suit nearly any situation. Cleaning a Firebox StoveSustainability through longevity — stoves are designed and manufactured to the highest manufacturing specifications possible

The best thing I’ve found for cleaning a firebox stove is Barkeepers Friend, which is a product similar to Comet, but safer to use around food and cookware. Simply scrub each piece of the stove with Barkeepers Friend and a brush, and let dry on a paper towel. Accessories and Complementary Gear We’ve scoured the market for the best portable fire pits out there, with a wide variety in terms of price, features and styles. Here are our favourites:If you have a Trangia type burner, you will want to have access to the flame control ring while cooking. While setting up the Bushbox Ultralight, place the grill plate in the bottom slot. This should allow you to access and flame controller through the side piece with the fuel feed hole. Without a doubt, the greatest advantage of any firebox stove is that it can be used with nearly any type of burnable organic material you find lying around, but the Bushbox Ultralight is also a great cook platform (and windscreen) for alcohol burners, fuel tablets, canned gel fuels, and a variety of other cooking approaches. I have a variety of TOAKS cookware and my 750ml titanium pot fits perfectly in between the small pot holder tabs on each of the side plates. Larger pots actually sit up on these tabs, which makes sense since you would want a slightly larger fire and need the flames to spread out more. Another reason the firebox designs work so well is that the fire draws oxygen from below. This not only makes a super efficient fire, but also cuts down a lot of smoke – an important aspect when you are cooking. I’ve never felt the need for any of the optional plates, but I’m glad that the manufacturer offers them as options – or spare parts. Using a Firebox Stove

The reason for this is the clever adaptable design of the Bushbox Ultralight. Slots in the side pieces allow the user to adjust the height of the bottom grill plate, making it extremely adaptable to stoves of varying sizes, strengths, and heights.Once you are finished cooking, either let the wood burn out by itself, or, using some sort of tongs or hot pad, shake or dump out the wood in a safe place where it can burn out on it’s own. To use as little plastic as possible, your Bushbox LF comes in a lightweight cotton bag. For regular use, we recommend our Heavy Duty Outdoor Bag Bushbox LF or the matching Leather Pouch Bushbox LF. Alternatively, the Trivets can be used to handle the hot Bushbox. In combination with the separately available Universal Grate, they can also be used as a toast holder or to keep your coffee cup warm. Try it out!
