    Thank you for this video. I like the way the technique worked out. Definitely better than continuously feeding in dozens of small bits. Glowing red coals are the best. As the late, great Bro Greg always said, "When you have coals, you can do no wrong."

    THANK YOU!!! I knew we could use smaller logs, I don't have many large ones but I have a million ones like yours, I live in the woods. I will never run out. The other way is too work intensive. I may try to use large cans for the firebox with lots of airflow. I don't have birch bark but I have dead stalks from my Jerusalem artichokes that I plant all year. They are just like and burn just like birch. Fantastic video thank you.

    That's a great idea. I have the Bushbox XL titanium that we used last week on a wild hike and camp. Using a Swedish fire torch idea looks like a better idea than constantly feeding wood into the stove. I found that by constantly adding wood meant that we had to much smoke and flames. Will certainly be giving this a go at home before trying on a camp.

      I am enjoying it quite a bit Mark, I'm trying to learn as many ways as possible to use this stove. At Bushcraft Canada they sell a leather sleeve but it's $55.00 so I decided to make my own.

    I like to get some hot coals going in my stove while I collect firewood for a larger campfire, then use the remaining fire from the stove to start the campfire just by pouring out the coals into the camapfire with some kindling. It's alot easier to start a fire in these stoves due to the wind protection and height of the fuel stack then the other way around.

    • @highlandtrekker
      @highlandtrekker  Před 7 lety

      Thanks Martin, I would definitely recommend using a little bigger diameter of wood for it to be a tighter fit. By doing that the flame will really direct itself up the centre, but ya it works great !. All the best in the New Year buddy

  • @andymetcalfe7060

  • @goatheadone5412
    @goatheadone5412 Před 4 lety +1

    Part of your issue is you needed to put a flat side in each log then face those splits to each other. It gives a better place for th3 logs to catch, and offers access to the dryer inner log

    Earth isn't a 'mother'. It is composed of nonconscious physical things that don't know they are physical things and they must react according to design. Purposeful design is from God the Creator.
    Evil is from people who don't live to honor God in faith with repentance.
