🙏Thank you Ernie and thank you to all my customers who have chimed in with comments! I love knowing that my products are being enjoyed and appreciated. I want your money to be well spent when in support of me and my company. If someone ever feels otherwise I want to know about it as soon as possible so I can make things right and correct course. I have always taken customer feedback very seriously as it helps me improve my products and service. 🙏 Steve
You made Avery useful product. And for the short time that I have used it. It's been a joy
I REALLY BELIEVE YOU & YOUR
COMPANY are a CLASS ACT !!!!
( I've NEVER said that about ANY
One OR Their company before )
Upon reviewing your video again I noticed you mention that you thought your kit was made in the USA.While we do make all the same components in the USA if purchased as the value kit Deluxe Combo, It is imported.
I tried real hard to keep everything made in the USA. I looked for at least a year trying to find another company to supplement our USA production, I found that most USA manufacturers have specialized, sometimes requiring expensive certifications. I've Been laughed out of offices after saying my cost budget. Most said they couldn't even make stoves for what we were charging retail. My current USA producer (of ten yrs) is great but they can only make so many stoves, We regularly have back orders and waiting lists for our USA made products. Had I not resorted to supplementing production overseas my USA company would have stayed very small and may have even gone under. Firebox Outdoors LLC. Employees five full-time staff, The USA company making our stoves employees 20 people. Another USA company who making parts for us employees more than 50 people. I hire USA-based engineers, attorneys, financial firms ect. to run my business. I am a USA innovator marketing my products internationally, bringing business to the USA. Firebox is a contributing part of the USA economy. I hope someday I can bring all manufacturing in house here in USA.
The reason I go into this much detail is mostly for those who judge based on limited information, I want those who focus on the fact that I import products to know that there is a bigger picture. I'm a patriotic American who works hard to do right by my great country. High volume low cost production is largely unavailable in the USA.
@@fireboxstove I believe You are a good Man ( this reinforces My belief ) ! You are correct to believe
there's a lot of Van Go listener's out there ( They only listen with one ear ) !!!!
I love Firebox Stoves products!
Totally worth every penny, best gear ever!
Kind of makes you think, "why do I need more than the two sizes of Fire Box Stoves?" doesn't it? I have one of each, both in stainless steel. If I had to carry them I might have gone with the titanium, but I kayak and car camp, so the weight is not a problem. And to answer your question, yes it's worth it!
I agree wholeheartedly. The owner of Firebox is an extremely intelligent
product designer, and he has a supreme level of understanding about
fire combustion🔥 and all of the dynamics that surround that.
I'll definitely be buying a Firebox 👉💵..........😁😎.
A new owner-this past week- of a fire box. In camping gear we can either have useful, well-made, or cheap, But never all three. Thanks to you--STEVE for making the firebox all three. And thanks Ernie for your usual level of perfection on a video. The trees look great.
Ernie, I was critical of your review of latest Jetboil Stove. I did not like the fact that Jetboil gave so many youtubers stoves and then asked them to give a quick review. You surely redeemed yourself with this review.
I appreciate your COMPLETELY UNBIASED comments. Years ago I purchased a Firebox Nano and have used many many times in all types of situations an conditions. Personally I will never buy the "Puzzle" type stove that you have to fiddle with by inserting tab A into slot C while hold part B with ice cold fingers. Firebox designs and sells quality FOLDING stoves that a klutz like me can have up and burning in no time. After watching your review I am definitely purchasing this stove. Thank you for a great, honest, unbiased review. I will never judge you again.
I have the 5” titanium fire box and I love it, best ever
Amen!
I owned both, the Firebox 5' and the little brother, the Nano. They are awsome. Both.
Greetings from Nova Scotia Canada & I DON'T have the Gen. 2 stove but I do have the Bushbox XL
& to me, they seem to be almost identical somewhat.
My ultimate favorite stove is my recent addition: The Flexfire 6.....I'm a fan of BIG stoves, so I will probably STICK with that.
Love your videos & keep em coming.
💯👍👌
Just starting to watch, but i can shout a resonding 'YES !'
I love my Firebox!! Just got the nano for Christmas!!!! Nothing better than these stoves. So versatile!
The Absolute Best! Portability, Durability, Affordability, & Versatility!
USA Made!🇺🇸 What more could we ask for? Very proud of all my FireBox products! My experience with their Customer service has been impeccable also! 🏕🏝🏔🏜
If you ever deal with their customer service you’ll find they’re Indescribably pleasant and helpful as well.
I totally agree, their customer service is outstanding!
I got in on Their Christmas special .
I got the same stove pack You did ,
plus ; the 40 oz. ss bottle & 16 cm
billy pot ; bake accessories .
It seems like everything I got was
around $150 . I think that's a great
value !
I got the same kit, plus some more add-ons. It is the best ever. Have you baked anything yet? I have it's awesome.
@@james_lessick892 I got My stove
& extras for Christmas . So far haven't baked anything ( probably going to try some chicken pieces
when it warms up ) .
Steve, the owner and designer, is a solid guy. Although I’ve never met him he’s responded to any questions I’ve ever had, makes some of the best videos using his products, and seems to be a genuinely awesome guy that enjoys using his products in the environments they were made for. Thanks for the great review and content. His stuff is solid and should last a really long time if taken care of. I own two original 5” fire boxes, the titanium nano, and a lot of his accessories. You can’t go wrong with the billy cans with his mods. While he doesn’t make them he does sell them and they are built like the rest of his stuff. Can’t recommend his products enough.
5” titanium, 5” stainless firebox stove. Love both, they travel all over the U.P of Michigan for road side meals!
Years ago I bought the first generation of the stove.
One of the best camping investments I have ever made.
All these years later after many trips it is still holding up like new.
I
Yes! I bought one recently and I took my 4 kids camping and we only used the firebox for all of our cooking. I'm really thinking about picking up a nano to go along with it so I can boil water and cook at the same time.
Great idea, I have a five inch stainless, 5-in titanium and the titanium Nano. They are awesome. I can cook boil and make coffee at the same time.
Just used my firebox to make hash browns and eggs this morning on an island in the Great Salt Lake. It’s a little steel box that just brings joy every time I use it. I Got it as a COVID lock down sanity gift and can’t believe how it draws me to get outside constantly. Worth every dime of $100.
I have that same kit run it for months at a time on my fire crew instead of mre’s we cook up meals and with the multiple options for fuel it really works for us not knowing what we’ll have available and the ss version is bulletproof tough bouncing around in a pack even took a tumble down a mountain when the pack fell out of the truck on a steep hill broke several items in the pack but not the stove really a great product
Nothing brings people together like cooking over a wood fire. I love breaking out the Firebox with friends to cook a meal, roast some mallows, or sometimes we just use it as a tiny fire pit. I think every young person with a taste for the outdoors should be gifted one of these early on so they can learn how great food tastes over an open flame. Also, Firebox Steve has the chillest outdoors channel on YouToob.
I have the titanium nano and the 5" gen 2 stainless (with the cook kit). Both are incredibly versatile; their excellent design & engineering are very evident. They've held up well to regular use and abuse over the past few years. I've even fed a family of 4 for a week when I forgot my Coleman! Great for camping, backpacking, and hiking!
Best folding multi fuel stove made! The smaller version, the nano, is just as awesome only smaller, more compact. Both worth every penny!
I got one of these just before Christmas. I've used it about a dozen times. This has been a wonderful piece of kit for camping and taking fishing. Not to mention while the brother in-law and I are doing overnight catfishing it let's us make coffee
Still rocking my 5” Gen 1 since 2014.. The multi-fuel versatility is amazing and the thing is absolutely bomb proof. Love to bbq with it and use it as a self-contained campfire..
3-19-24. Just purchased s.s. 5", with leather cover,118$.Should be receiving in 3 more days.Looking forward to showing to 16 y.o. grandson,as now he will get my Tigris complete break apart.Then,after my walk,he will appreciate a well built one.Start at bottom, graduate at top! Thank y'all for the quality,of passing down the best!🤠🇺🇲
Love my firebox stoves and accessories. Got a premium deal on mine thru Steve's kickstarter rewards. All firebox products have been great!
I went to the mountains with my friends and we were planning on roasting hotdogs. But we totally forgot our hot dog sticks or even a pocket knife🤦. 10 people were hungry. But I remembered I had my firebox in my truck. Hotdogs were cooked and fun was still had!
Just ordered mine this week with all of the accessories, and I made sure I ordered the one made in USA. I’m excited to get It and try it out.
Best Stoves and best customer service!
The best wood/combo stove hands down
I have one but I never used the fast boil accessory. However I love this stove for its versatility all the different ways to cook,heat, boil food on it. This stove used it two times paid for itself I recommend to get this stove first you can’t go wrong . Light weight and easy use just pick your fuel source. 🏕
I love and appreciate not only the stove but the company behind it I have the titanium 5-in the stainless steel 5-in and an 8 and 10 in cook kit. This is the way to go this product is amazing and works every time. I'll be using this for the rest of my life and I appreciate and will support this company with anything they come out.
I’ve said this before, but the Firebox stoves are elegant solutions. I’m old school and have no issue with a 2 - 3/4 pound stove given the weight I used to carry when I had a SVEA 123 and a couple bottles of fuel. Of course, if I had been given a choice of Ti at the time I bought, I would have been tempted. As is, when I’m getting towards my personal limit, I just swap for the Nano, which does fine most of the time. Smaller fire requires you watch it a bit more, but that’s not an issue for me. The Nano works.
Before I even start watching: YES! Definitely worth the price of admission.
I like using it even more than my Nano, but the Nano goes outdoors most often due to weight and packability. I have gotten to the point I use the 5"G2 more in my back yard than I do my charcoal grill though. I look forward to getting the Ti version someday, so I will be more likely take it out into the woods more often. Thanks for the review, Ernie. Stay well.
Nice product, can't wait to see you hiking and using it.
Good review. I need to get one of these!
I bought the 5” master set and it was a phenomenal purchase!
Another great video and review! Definitely food for thought. I purchased the Nano Ti, but I keep looking at the 5-inch Deluxe Combo Kit. Thanks!
Love my fireboxes, always get the combos, and I am on to #5 (given a few as gifts) my next will be the 5inch titanium !
Good video Dr. Ernie,
I'm looking forward to your "Titanium Review" of this stove.
Next week!
I first saw the Firebox on virtuovice's channel. He didn't really talk about his kit much, just showed himself using it on every fishing trip. After finding out what it was, my order was near instantaneous, and I've got to say, it's one of my favorite pieces of gear of all time. Sure it's a little heavy compared to other stoves, but my gosh what a solid, well thought out work horse. This is the one stove I would take in every imaginable scenario where fire is permitted.
I have both the nano and the 5” steel g2. I absolutely love them. They are by far the best money I have spent on camping gear
I would love to have one of these. I'm not a camper (unfortunately) but it wpuld be nice for emergencies.....like last week here in Texas.🌬❄⛷
Ernie I have the Ti 5 inch full kit and the Ti Nano with the x-box kit and I agree with you 100%. Your review is dead on, Firebox is my favorite go to stove now hands down.
My favorite stove by far - have the 5” and Nano and use them both non-stop. Awesome gear from Firefoxstoves
I'll be honest, Earnie; I have carefully watched your stove videos and I have put together what I consider is the perfect stove "system". I have the 5" Firebox, the FB Nano, and the Soto Windmaster gas stove. With that combination, I can do just about anything I want and with just about any fuel source. What is not to like? I use the SS versions for two reasons, 1) I think the SS is a more robust material and less likely to break, and 2) I don't give a hill of beans about weight issues. If I get to the point that I can't carry my pack, I'll get a pack horse. With this combination of stoves, I'm ready to mix and match and even carry all 3 so I can cook multiple things simultaneously; such as, coffee, bacon, and potatoes. Your video comparing the MSR, Windmaster, and others, convinced to get the Windmaster and I've never regretted it. So, thank you. Keep up the good work; we depend on it.
Love my 5" stainless & titanium nano, both built to do what each does best depending on the situation. Great gear, great company
I agree, I have the same combination, I can believe how good this products are, congrats to Steve, amazing products, definitely worth buying....
I sure love mine! Haven’t done anything fancy on it yet, but it’s now and indispensable piece of the camp kit!
I have both kits, the 5” and the nano. Definitely worth it, awesome products.
Looks awesome! Just purchased this set….can’t wait to get it and get outside. Thanks for the video
Great review!
Great video, love the Firebox, the most versatile and well designed stove on the market, keep the great videos coming 👍
It’s worth every penny !
Definitely worth it. The 5” Firebox is just fun to play with too,,,
As ALWAYS another great video,,,Thanks
5” owner, love it. Invaluable piece of kit
I love my firebox stove and accessories. I have two. One in each pack. Great reviews
HUGE fan of my Firebox G2 Stove. By far the only one I actually look forward to using. Sometimes even more than building a campfire.
It's on my wish list, great company. I have the stainless nano, love it!
Firebox is top of the line and my favorite stove in the world!!
Great stove, great kit, great company! Definitely worth the money.
Greetings from Norway. At my age&education it's just appealing with a serious review with a smart sense of humor. Thanks.
Greetings from a half Norwegian in the Uk
I agree. I own it. Fantastic stove! Worth every penny.
I have the 5” and titanium nano. They are amazing and I must say, when you invest in these products, you’re going to be happy each and every time!
Excellent video of an ingenious product. I've had my FBS for years & I've been thinking about the Ti version for a while now.
Great video! I too have the G2 SS and SS Nano and love them both! Most of all Steve seems to be a great person!🇺🇸
As you mentioned, the design of these products is amazing. I have the full sized fire box and the nano, and the versatility and attention to detail blows me away. This company deserves all the success it gets.
Another great video
Thx
So worth the money!!!! I have this as well as the nano Gen 2!! Always in my truck and always practicing!!!
I think its definately worth it the money,had my 5 in Firebox for a few years now and going strong.It's cool you used the GSI Rocket for your coffee.I like to use mine more in the warm months but have been using it quite a bit lately.☕
I have both the 5" kit and the nano. Always have one of them in the car, normally the nano and a trangia. I went the usual route of buying the crappy stoves. Just get one of each and you will be happy 😊
Right on Ernie!
I have the titanium nano and 5” firebox stoves. Their ease of set up, packability and versatility (fuel choices) makes them tops for me!
It’s a great video. I’ve carried both a 5” firebox and a nano. I’ve tried a bunch of stoves over the years and they all pretty much gather dust while my firebox’s see the woods and water now. I do use a trangia with them a lot because well it’s a trangia. Great video Ernie.
I have both the 5” and Nano fireboxs. I have used these stoves for cooking for my family for many MANY years. When my boys grew up so I purchased stoves for them so that they can cook for their wives. I have cooked steak, hot dogs, chicken on the grill. I have cook so many dishes over the fireboxs I should make a cookbook. I have tried many stoves until I found the Firebox. It is the best. You don’t want to try another stove just get a Firebox.
I have their Gen 2 5-inch Titanium stove and same accessories, fantastic stove!!
WORTH IT , I GOT THAT AND NANO TI , SOON I GET 5 INCHES TI TOO.. FIREBOX IS THE BOMB..
I have this stove and the stainless Nano as well. They are the best built, most functional stoves out there...and I've tried them all, all the way back to the pocket cooker. Nice job on your videos.
Another great stove video Ernie. I have a Bushbox LF which is 3.5 inches out of stainless steel. It’s a great stove but I think I need something bigger........just because, lol. I have been eyeballing the Firebox 5 inch Gen2 and I think I will go titanium. It will be used for bikepacking and hiking so the weight saving will be worth the price. I look forward to your future review of that stove. Thanks again
With you Ernie, it took me alot of cheap mistakes before I finally spent out on the firebox, and since then I haven't turned away, and I've bought extras and the firebox nano... fantastic stove.
Just received my regular sized stainless steel firebox stove. Cooked on it twice and was fairly happy with it, did the job just fine. I live in an area with out hard woods and found I had to constantly add twigs to keep it hot enough to fry my hash browns.
I bought my Gen 2 shortly after they came out and I got the package deal with everything in it, well it was missing the rapid boil rack and within 2 days they sent me the missing part plus something extra, now after all this time it's still in great shape with NO warping so definitely worth the money in my book.
Awesome job
Thx
This is a case where you actually get more for your money. For a backpacking wood burning stove it's hard to beat any of the Firebox stoves. I started with the Stainless Firebox Nano then upgraded to my current one. My favorite , wood burning , stove is the Firebox , Titanium , Nano Gen 2. It ( plus the X stand ) fits in my Maxi Titanium Canteen cup as a lightweight , complete , package. Included is a titanium , Evernew , alcohol burner. I like the titanium because it cools quickly and helped me reduce my packs weight.
It only starts with the perfect stove - his well chosen accessories pair well too. I have the little table to keep it from starting grass fires, the cooking utensil kit, and the 8” and 10” cook sets. All the same greatness
I always carry precut wood on my day trips for my Firebox Nano.....pretty much as you showed...about 3 in. to fit in vertically in the Swedish torch method. Constantly feeding in tiny sticks is tedious.At 1120 could have had the wind screen in the up position. Got to love the Coffee Rocket.... in warmer weather. Great stove kit, thanks!!
I love this stove i hve just got one on the combo sale with zebra billy can , Nalgene and cup set awesome deal 😎
Yesterday I was on call for a major news network to cover a potential tsunami in Hawaii and American Samoa. The Firebox Titanium 5” was in my backpack. A key aspect for air travel is that the Firebox removes the need for fuels or cannisters which you cannot transport. Fuel (twigs) abound everywhere. Both the 5” & Nano are gold...delighting my South Pacific friends with gourmet tacos and “Manu Dogs” in the rainforests. Time for you to try Koko Samoa from Firebox...its magic!
Love my firebox I've had if for sever years with no issues
I want to be like you when I grow up! 😂😂😂 All the cool gadgets! Nice vid. I like the firebox. I've been debating on whether to purchase for months.
I have the 5" and 2 nano's all in Ti. Weight is amazingly lite. Combined w/all the accessories the 5" cannot be beat. Cook a roast, pie, cake, what ever your heart desires. Full blown high end restaurant style meals. Check out the fry pan kits from firebox. OUTSTANDING. A lot of excellent gear. Limited only by your imagination.
👁❤🏕❇🔥🥓
I own their Ti Nano and absolutely love it. Thinking about grabbing their 5" model just to have for car camping. Would be nice to have something that I can use to grill and bake with. Yes the nano can be used to grill with, but you likely will burn your food, unless you are using a rotisserie above it.
I’m going to get this for my son’s birthday 😁 thanks for the idea!
Hope it went well.Gonna show new stove to grandson soon,as he will inherit all wenever
Nice kit
Man, those tree branches behind you are sharp as hell! Thanks for the video. I guess I'll be $90 poorer soon.
You will be better for the purchase.
It is just the best, I've tried the rest. Great in Australia where you need to be sure you can control your fire.
I was able to get one of the first 100 firebox stoves in titanium ( actually got stove number 94 ) from the first production run.
The firebox is awesome I have a gen 1 I plan on getting a gen 2.
It is the Standard compact wood stove to compare all others to.
I paid $100 for my gen 2. Not for fun but for emergency et all.
Steve @ Firebox Stove says not to put grill plates above direct flames or they might warp. Read & follow the instructions.
I don't own any of the firebox stove models, but I would LOVE to own one some day.
That fire burned quick!!! Awesome video and product. If you're gonna invent a portable camping stove, invent one that is lightweight, durable and efficient. I think the firebox meets all those requirements so it's worth the money. I just bought the nano yesterday and can't wait to use it.
