- Today I share a quick fix to using wood pellets in your Firebox Nano. I also make some coffee with the Stanley Boil and brew coffee press with a new coffee from Blackout Coffee.

Necessity , the Mother of invention.
I feed sticks in from the sides for a longer burn time. Or do the Swedish candle ( limb split into quarters , upright ) for a longer burn time. Now there is a third option to go with for longer burn times when it's needed. You are right the Nano is a great stove , I had a stainless and then moved to the Titanium. The titanium is lighter but the real benefit is that it cools really quick..
I prefer to make a Swedish candle with mine too.
I just drilled holes in the solid fuel plate....dual purpose
Great idea… Did you just drill a lot of small holes or bigger holes?
@@greatamericansurvival a bunch of 1/8” holes but not where the solid fuel indent is. I’m sure anything up to 1/4” in diameter would work
thanks for sharing this idea!! I was looking for a grid so I could burn pellets. Now I will hunt for a disposable grill product. Good video!!
Great video..been using pellets for sometime now..I too have a backpackers French press for my tokes 900 titanium cup. Can say..enjoy a great cup of coffee. After years of pressing coffee and boat load of research never use boiling water with your grinds..no Hotter than 206° let steep for five minutes taking 20 seconds to press a Great cup of Joe. According to Anthony Douglas World Champion Barista of 2022 FYI. Most of the time if a group of us are Camping I too take the Stanley Press..in the mornings my camp area looks like a Crack shack with all my buds zombie'n too get their fix of Coffee in the mornings. Never tried Blackout coffee but ya got me think'n I should. Thanks for the great info and video.
Great idea! I've never used pellets before, I had no idea they burned that long.
Absolutely excellent DIY way of using wood pellets for the woods. Looks fun. Thanks 👍🛶🍉🥓
Thanks for the hack. I, like you, have a ton of wood pellets and really wanted to make them work well in my Nano. Now to the dollar store!
Awesome I know for me it’s so much easier to cook on then just sticks..
I was gonna make my own comment but James stole what I was gonna say. Lol...Great hack!
Howdy from Oklahoma. Great presentation! Thanks for sharing your video, very helpful. Just subscribed.
Great Idea,,,!!!!! I’ve used that exact mesh on several different projects,,ie,, the Firebox coal rack for the Billy Pots. My coals always had a hard time staying within the single wire frame. I wired the mesh around the perimeter,, cupped upward,,: thus holding the coals on Top of the Pot. Great Video,,,, Joshua
Good idea. I'll be packing a cut sheet of expanded metal and baggie of wood pellets for times when I only can find wet wood and need fire quick. Thanks
I really like the pellets easy burn, not to heavy.
Great idea for the pellet tray.
I will use an off cut of EML (expanded metal lath) from work. That's stainless steel so a bit heavier but will do the job perfectly. I guess if you needed a longer burn without having to top up one could cut pieces of EML to cover the feed holes.
Exactly if I had access to EML I would use anything like that if available. Thanks for the feedback and please let me know how it works for you.
Great idea ! 🤠👍
double it up and add an inch all around, you have a quick grill. put some foil underneath for an ash pan.
I don't know why I never thought to use wood pellets for this, we have sooo wood horse bedding pellets we use for our bunny
Nice job!I will be doing this!
You always do such a great job with the camera angles and editing. Great job brother.
Thanks man you having a good Saturday morning so far? How’s the wife and kids..
@@greatamericansurvival just got done with my morning bike ride, and enjoying my kale smoothie. Wife and kids are doing great. How are you and yours?
We are doing great. Trying to get back to a sense of normal. So far this morning I had to take my oldest to work. Now I’m gonna do breakfast then do as little as possible all day..
@@greatamericansurvival that sounds like a plan.
I just don't know anyplace were you can't use the firebox stove. W/the plethora of different fuels to use be it wood, gas, trioxane etc. there's always a way to use it. I love mine. Ti nano, and 5" Ti firebox. Best out there. Like your hack.
God bless you as well. 🔥⛺😀
Thank u
Firebox did a video showing that very few pellets would fall through the holes, but I like your grate idea.
With the extra, I would make a clip on to cover the feeding holes on the side so I can put more pellets in need be.
Great video. I love my nano since day one.
Can't wait to try this! Just subscribed 👍
Thanks Joan it’s been a great hack. Thanks for letting us know we always live erring feedback.
So to get pellets to burn you just used alcohol drizzled on?
Love that coffee press. I’m gonna get one them on eBay .
Love mine man
FYI : Check out the Stanley website too. I got one there a couple weeks ago for 18.00 usd plus some change & free shipping. Good luck 👍🏻
I found one at Walmart a few weeks ago on clearance for $12. When I got to the register, it rung up as $9. I was tempted to go back and see if they had more.
If you can find the Stanley 3 piece canister set that has 3 different size SS canisters with awesome lids... the smallest one nestles into the stanley french press PERFECTLY...excellent weigh to bring coffee but you could fit a couple 3oz refills of pellets for the Nano in it I bet!
Had one before and it got abused by our scouts. I’ll have to look around and see if I can find another.
@@greatamericansurvival yeah man, it's worth the search
Now that’s what I call a grate idea.🤡
I tested out my titanium nano for the first time a few days ago and I found some really hard red coloured wood here in Australia which I have yet to identify but boy was it hard, any way I had a piece which was the perfect size to make a Swedish fire torch and I attempted to boil a nearly full pathfinder kettle, it almost boiled and would have been hot enough for a coffee. I suppose it didn’t burn vigorously enough because It was a Swedish fire torch with this really Hard wood. I’m still impressed with it because It burnt well enough to cook on for at least half an hour without having to add any more fuel. My next test will be with the same wood processed in the normal way to see if it will burn vigorously enough to boil the path finder kettle.
That’s awesome. I’ve really enjoyed mine and often use a Swedish torch in my bigger units. I came across some wood last summer it was so hard I couldn’t get it to burn. Had to start the fire with other wood then added it after it was burning well. Love Australia haven’t been back since the 90’s though. Celebrating 25 years of marriage in two years and that our planned trip.
@@greatamericansurvival I hope you have a good trip when you come out, it’s pretty safe and comfortable to camp here in NSW where I am especially in spring and autumn but even Summer is ok as well once you go inland as the low humidity makes it more bearable though you have to make sure you’re not in a high risk bush fire area.
Cool👍🏻
Hey!! Great idea! Great lookin coffee!! I’m a coffee nut! Just curious if you have any secrets for keeping the feet in the grooves of the xcase. I was out this weekend in the snowy mtns and my nano kept sliding out of the grooves in the xcase due to the not perfect ground we were on. Thanks sir😄
I have a ss nano & a ss 5"
firebox too . Are You going to review the scout stove ?
Yes. Got one ordered through Kickstarter can’t wait..
👍🏻
Are all if the fireboxes not square. It looks crooked
No. Otherwise they wouldn’t fold up inside itself. Newer ones might be different but mine is from the original Kickstarter they did for the Nano’ Is your different?
@@greatamericansurvival no to be honest ive only ever used a gas burner or my trangia, but have been looking at these a lot lately. I just noticed that they all seem to look that way so I was just curious. Dont know anyone who has one so I guess I'm just gonna have to pull the trigger on it.
You can pry my aeeropress from my cold dead hands :-)
