I bought myself a Honey Stove a couple of months back and have used it several times. It boils water for a brew fast and does a good frypan or billy can meal. I still have soem trouble putting it together, probably because I've got srthritic-deformed hands (a certain amount of swearing seems to help!). Taking it apart also seems to need me to wait until it's been cool for a while - makes sense about hot metal.
I like it and it's soooo easy to pack and carry. I do find I have trouble keeping on feeding it whih may mean I need to be even more aware of the woods I use. Always do small-to-mini twigs but (of course) some woods burn better than others.
Starting it - the most effective and lightweight way I've found in vaselined cotton wool balls, although charcloth and dropping a nest of burning dried grass in is good too.
Does anyone else use a Honey stove? Would like to hear how you find it and any tips. Have been reading other threads on stoves but couldn't find any specifically on the Honey.
