    Default meths, woodburners and combined meths/wood stoves

    what is out there. BPL-UK sell a lot but other than the usual triad, decagon, whitebox, honey, trangia, mini-trangia, bushcooker/buddy, mkettle and various ghillie kettle types, caldera cone and AGG cookset based on a can stove I can not think of any others.I really can't think of any others and am interested in trying something new.

    I tried that stove for a little while but found the hinge more of a nuisance after a while- Ordering a new Emberlit stove soon in Ti which is my favorite although im using the stainless at the moment. The mini version looks too.
    I used to like hobo stoves allot but fund my self going to wood burners that flat pack

    Just got one of these...only lit it a few times, but very impressed with it. Works well with the white box Meths burner too.

    Don't forget the Army Trangia set-up. you can use the windshield as a woodburner - works well too in that mode.

    There's also the american Pocket Cooker - folds down nicely and burns wood well (and like the Emberlit you can feed long lengths of wood into it), but pretty heavy.

    Wild woodgas stove for me with an evernew alcohol stove as back up ( this works well inside it)







    The wood stove and its red stuff bag fits perfectly inside either an evernew 1.3 ltr pot or an msr 1.3ltr pot

    It was there, I had the money, I wanted something that you could put together quickly, in the cold and one handed if need be.

    I would of liked a Kuenzi stove TBH as that fits the above criteria also.

    The fact that it's lighter then the Honey Stove is a bonus too.

    No; I haven't gone over to the dark-sidevader.gif
