Folks
The first group buy was a definate sucess and I have various people asking if there is going to be another one. Well the answer is YES !! and here it is.
Same Deal as before, we need to get at least 20 people on the list and the price will be as follows.
Stove Cost: £40.00
Delivery £ 5.75
Total £45.75
This is a saving of about £15 over normal price.
You can either pay via paypal to info@bushcrafters.com (please include address and name as well as screen name here) also add 4% to cover paypal fees.
Or you can send a cheque to me (PM for details)
Here's some info and pics:
Scoops a fellow member of this forum created a design for this stove based on the Nimblewell stove. It is a great design and is the basis of this stove. Woodland Edge took this design and added their own design flair to it, as well as increasing the width to incorporate a 12cm billy can and some other improovments sugested by other bcuk members. The end result is a great little flat pack stove that is highly versitile and also good to look at. It comes complete with a bag to carry it in so your kit doesn't get dirty.
Weight 1.8 kilos
Dimensions when flat packed 160mm x 200mm x 40mm
I am sure some members who purchased one from the first grop buy will post their comments on the stove as well. Here are some pics

Delivery on these stoves is only a mater of a week or so after I have recieved all the money so the sooner we hit 20 the quicker you get them.
Any questions feel free to pm me or email me at info@bushcrafters.com
Thanks
Jon Pratchett
Could you possibly post a pick of what it looks like in its flat pack form? And does it come with a carry bag?

Oh, I am so sorely tempted... but practically broke, having just kitted myself out for my trip up to Scotland.

Please put me down for one as well.
Many thanks.
I am looking forward to the next Bucks Bushcraft gathering to see how Silverbacks one works before making any commitment to buying.
I have only seen it dismantled to date but was impressed with the quality.
Swyn.

Good job you said that Swyn - I was going to leave it at home but will bring it along now. I am personally chuffed to bits with mine. My hot tip (no pun intended) would be to try and get it set up on a cut log or some kind of raised platform as it makes it more accesible and you don't have to lay on the floor to admire the luvverly embers and toastie flames :D . I will have mine running at the next meet for the continual demand for boiling brew water :)

Folks
Stoves were despatched today by citilink. Should be with your tomorrow. Make sure your in or leave a note on the door asking them to deliver to next door or something.
Those of you who do not live on the mainland might be the next day. everything is tracked so should you not recieve them tomorrow and have no card from citilink, let me know and I will give you the tracking number for your parcel.
Enjoy your new stoves.
Jon
Any news? sorry just impatient! lol and excited
Dean
Beech Nut
27-03-2007, 14:42
LOL, Dean do you read the posts matey? :)
If you read the one above yours you will see they were despatched yesterday for today delivery.
Jon
Got mine this morning
Sturdy piece of kit, Don't think I will carry it excepting on bike and canoe!
Very well made.
I have yet to try it but think the chimney and top plate maybe superfluous. The grid alone looks sufficient. If that's so the weight drops as well.
Thanks for your work Jon
ps Tried it out and the top plate and chimney make a hell of a difference. The draw is very good and damp wood off the ground burnt ok. The top plate heats up very quickly and would be ok for frying an egg on or any fatty meat.
lyttlegough
27-03-2007, 22:02
Got mine today - that's excellent delivery time to N.I.
I'm chuffed to bits with it. Even SWMBO thinks it's 'nice'. Praise indeed !!!!
Seriously, many thanks indeed for doing all the hard work - it is really appreciated.

Folks
Any feedback on the stove would be much apprecaited as well.
Sent a few emails to The Magazine asking if they want one for review but had no reply as of yet :-(
Nobby -you got there first, was going to say that you will notice a difference with the top plate and chimney on.
Enjoy your stoves folks.
jon
lol, embarrassed now :sad6: , yeah i do but confessed to just a quick scann whilst at work, cheers cant wait
Sturdy piece of kit.
Haven't tried it out yet, maybe this weekend.
When assembling do it alone or you may experience IKEA-syndrome.
Thanks again for the service.

Its just a simple quicktime movie. have you tried installing the latest version of quicktime?
if it helps the codec is h.264 which is the standard for mpeg4.

Is there much difference between this stove and the average DIY Nimblewill stove? It does seem rather expensive.

Anthony.
Yes there is a big difference. If you look at the thread for the first group buy you will get an idea of the history of this stove. Its a good read :D Also have a look at the woodland edge site http://www.woodlandedge.co.uk/firebox.html . It has a chimney, removable top hot plate, Grill and is made of better steal I believe.
Anyway read the other thread and this one and you should get the idea.
