Before I made money, I used to go to a bike shop near my home that sponsored us in BMX races, and there was a pizza place next door. I saw some guy making sauce and I asked him if I could have the can after he dumped it into a huge pot. He rinsed it out and gave it to me. My buddy and I took coat hangers and we punched holes for them in the top to make a grate. We punched larger holes in the bottom for air. That thing lasted years and it was free. Now, I'd probably buy one. But when you're eleven, free is free.
Are you from High Point?
I have also made a very simple stove from an old paint can and coat hangers.
There's a name for that: "hobo stove"
Plenty of instructional videos, reviews, improvements etc on CZcams, I only wished to give you the key words to start your search :)
You were a boy genius!! Now you can patent your design!!
And, you can publish a Cookbook to go along with your pizza sauce stove!!
.... and, you'll be poor no more!😉🤗
The Girl Scouts made a tin can stove from a number 10 can. Turned can upside down and used the bottom to cook on, punched holes around the sides below the bottom, cut a hole from the open top down to feed wood into the stove and punched some more holes around the top for air. Cooked bacon and eggs and toasted bread on it. Worked great.
Always make me smile, these reviews for "debris" wood stoves, the demos in hot sun, on parched dust and often burning wood shavings and bits of nice dry timber. Greetings from the UK. ;)
I totally get you!! That's always the same thought I have watching the north American videos. It always seem like everything is warmer and drier!! I've got a friend from Alberta and she says despite it regularly being -30 there it feels colder here because the humidity is higher.
@Scuba Trooper ?
I quickly learned to always bring a backup stove or just only bring a gas stove for that reason! I can count on one hand the trips I've taken without rain. I live in Western NY and camp in the northeast. Western NY is 1 day less rainy than Seattle, for ref :) I agree, when there is rain it feels colder. Snow turns to sinking slush, sticking to everything, making pulk pulling, ski or snowshoe travel difficult. Snow insulated and doesn't soak everything. Making our warming Winters suckier. Might get a trangia burner for winter trips now, lmao.
I agree the Firebox is a great stove. In 2018 I cycle toured thro northern Europe for 3 months with this stove, despite it being on the heavy side. In Sweden and Norway I used it every day, fuel was abundant, readily at hand where ever I camped. A tip I'd like to pass on is, always carry a pair of leather work gloves, they save hands from burns and soot. I am still using this stove, its a must carry item when I camp , bike or canoe, worth the money and make sure u buy the genuine item, the guy who developed it, should be the one to reap the reward, not the knockoff industry.
That would be difficult, they were an invention of the travelling hobo's back in the dirty 30's . Made out of any large tin can they got,their hands on.
Steve is just name. I have his firebox stove 1st gen. Modified it to have side ports
For ultra cheap and ultralight, I use a disposable aluminum pie plate (eat a pie), with three tent pegs pierced through it to form a tripod. You reuse the same holes each time. It weights a next to nothing and is essentially free if you have some spare pegs or just let them cool then use for your shelter. I used some leftover silk after sewing sleeping bag lines to make a stuff sack for the plate, pegs, and pot. Used the same aluminum pegs and pie plate for a 2 person 1 month hike and used the same ones for years after that. The plate contains the fire and reflects the heat to the pot and keeps the heat off the ground. It's Leave No Trace. You can put some flat rocks under the plate to raise up the coals, when you get to that point. If you're not using a gasifier, I say you might as well use this method.
Oh, and a bit of tin foil for windy days, though we almost never used it and eventually didn't both with one.
Thank you for a wonderfully thorough review. Please note that our stoves are made completely in the USA. It has always been our intent to keep everything domestic and support the American worker. This is something we take a great amount of pride in. Plus, to address the issue of heat retention, you can simply pour water over our stove to help the cooling process. Our stoves are overbuilt, hence the added weight, to ensure that they won’t warp from high heat or a quick cooling process.
I bought my pack stove based on his review videos, I think he just misspoke accidentally. I love everything about it and I enjoy supporting a company that makes their products here in the USA.
@@adamknight2838 Adam, I just wanted to thank you for the amazing support. It truly means more to us than you know! Regards,
Mac
Thanks so much for including us in this video! This is some great stove coverage.
I'd just like to point out that we make all of our stoves and ovens in the USA! None of our rocket stoves are made in China.
Awesome content, I'll look forward to seeing more of it!
He did great!
yall should come out with a gassifier. even better a titanium gassifier. id buy 3 just because made in USA
@@domusdebellum3042 We may have something up our sleeves this year... ;)
@@HotAshStovelike i said, if you come out with a titanium gassifier, i will buy 3. i subbed to keep informed. looking forward to what you have in store.
@@HotAshStove I too, am in the market for a titanium gasifier. Not the smallest version, but something I can use for pancakes and drawn out dinners during summer without worrying about fuel. I have the Solo Stove Titan, but the wires beneath the fuel is rusting to pieces. And if it wasn’t for weight I would want it larger rather than smaller, as I always want to add larger pieces of wood.
A fire proof bottom is key, and the double (or triple) bottom of the Solo Stove is the only thing I can trust, so far. As we mostly camp in blueberry pinewood and the ground can be a real fire hazard in the summer.
So my question is, can you beat that?
Firebox Nano is what I use, gen 2 titanium. It’s a brilliant little kit, and good bang for buck. With the X case it’s perfect.
Just bought the same including the X case.. Cost me $220 Australian though.
One thing to mention, the Ohuhu stove works pretty amazing with an alcohol burner as well. I was able to get 2 cups of water to a rolling boil at exactly 5 minutes (6000ft elevation). I’d imagine the Solo stove would work similarly.
I love the Ohuhu-Stove, ich use it for 2 Years now, never leave me alone, and ich use two of them in my Fireplace in intermediat Seassion with Woodpellets in my Fireplace, workd perfect
I have all Firebox models in stainless steel and almost every single other item on the site besides the car-attaching table and the multi-hundred $ knives.
I use the Firebox almost every day, sometimes both for breakfast and dinner. It saves me so much money compared to eating out on the road as a trucker, and people always come by to ask what it is.
I've spent close to 10k on survival gear and preps during 2022, and without a doubt the Firebox is my favorite piece of gear. I've purchased several G2 5" stainless steel models to gift to family and friends. Can't beat it.
I love your channel, but go to the dollar store buy a large can of beans or fruit(32oz). Open and eat. Clean can or not, poke holes in side with nail or punch. Fill with wood fuel. you can wire rack on top. Cost 1 dollar. For larger stove use larger can maybe Coffee or fruit juicy. When done you can cool with water and take to recycle or scrape yard. As with all of these stoves don't use in a confined space.
Firebox - I have both, the 5” stainless resides in my truck and the titanium nano x in my pack. Outstanding product!!
Me too, I would not change them. Started with a cheaply and nothing compares. Outstanding company.
I have the stainless 5” and thoroughly enjoy using it when I’m in an area where I can pick up small twigs.... not always the case in southern Arizona.
A stove for every option. Some good for backpacking, some for camping and some for emergencies. Good to see a massive comparison like this
And some for the scrap yard 😂
Today I'm the proud owner of a Firebox..
It's a great design. And so many possibilities to use it in so many different ways...
Firebox is the best by far. I also have the Ti Nano with the X-case and the Ti Gen2. Great video Ernie!!
I love the firebox stoves as well. I find that I use them very often. That says it all.
Thank you, your video was easy to watch, gave all the info I needed to make a choice and most important, saved me a ton of time researching and reading reviews on the many stoves out there. Great job and thanks again!
Nice video! So great to have all the stoves lining up side by side - thank you!
Thanks for sharing Ernie, great vid and I agree about the Firebox 5” G2 TI version,already almost 3 years going strong and definitely my best outdoor purchase because I can’t take another one with me every time I go into the woods 🤘🏻
Nice approach Ernie! I really enjoyed this video, looking forward to the next.
I have converted my alcohol stove to your wood burner. I thank you. It took just seconds. Now I have flexible alcohol burner. Either wood or alcohol.
I thank you so much.
Thank you my brother
I agree on the folding firebox. I got my first one a few years ago, the first generation and liked I so much that I immediately bought another. Used them many times and they are still going. I also bought two of the gen. 2s. Love them all. I figure the extra weight is worth it for the way they set up, and versatility. If I find myself in a real bad survival situation, no matter what the weather, day or night, I know I can count on the folding firebox even with cold numb fingers because it simply sets itself up without the complicated assembly.
Agree, love Firebox. Both of them. In fact all 3 as I have a titanium as well.
Thanks for taking the time to share all of this info! Much Appreciated.
Excellent video. Thanks for obvious effort that went into this production. I actually have 4 of the stoves you reviewed. These things are a ton of fun to use and very efficient and effective.
Great review. Thanks for taking the time to put it out.
I enjoyed this video. Good job. I have a lot of the stoves you used in this video. They're just fun and relaxing to use. I appreciate what you do for the stove community. Keep'm coming. Thanks
Really enjoyed this video. Thanks so much for all the good information. I purchased an emberlit titanium a couple years ago and really enjoy it, but I do think I'll spring for a Firebox stove thanks to your reviews. I'll also put the Hot Ash rocket stove on my list - will probably wait for the titanium version. Love all your videos. Thanks so much!
Loving this Ultimate Series!!! Thanks Ernie
Being a "stove addict" myself, I got a kick out of watching this video! I have many of the same stoves in my stash, and I have to agree I like the Firebox stoves, (the Nano in particular), the best of the lot. Thanks for sharing! :-)
Really enjoyed the video. Thank you for that. My only gripe with alot of these twig stoves are assembling them. Reason why the firebox stove is my favorite.
Great video, love my Fireboxes, I have both and they’ve never let me down. Originally I started with a cheaper brand and didn’t take much to warp, not these and I’ve had them for a few years and camp a lot. I’ve used them with twigs, pellets, charcoal or Trangia.
I throughly enjoy your channel, all the effort and excellence you put into it and especially this wood stove video. I am 63 years old and my first solo backpacking trip at age 15 saw me cooking over an open fire. I graduated to a Sterno stove, it was gold in color and folded flat like the Firebox. With the Sterno can gel fuel I though it was the coolest thing, lol. I own a number of alcohol, gas, canister and propane stoves now. I bought a Bushbox LF this spring and as has been said it is the “funnest” way to cook. Next purchase will be the Firebox G5 titanium, thank you for all your effort and keep up the great work
Wonderful content and production. This will be my recommended video for others to watch who are looking for a stick stove. Thanks for all your hard work.
Good video and series!
I have the full size Firebox Titanium stove and really enjoy cooking with it!
This should be THE most watched wood stove video out there. Perfect
I really liked this video, I'm looking forward to more in the Ultimate series! Thanks for a great channel!
Great and honest review!👍🏼 I love the firebox nano, but the bushbox LF titanium is also a great stove not to small and not to big, the perfect midsize stove! Manny greetings from Germany, Mark
I like the Bush Box XL Titanium best.
Ernie, great comparison on a number of stoves. Thanks for providing this. One quick story: I received a stainless stove as a part of a "surprise box" and could not figure out how to use it. After watching the above video, I realise that it's a knock off of the Toaks. Thanks for demonstrating how my surprise works!
I live here in LA also. I’ve been Seeing other bush people from all over. I’m not a bushwhacker. I just started out with a question on what is a rocket stove. Watching people like you have given me an interest in it all. I’ve made stoves and figure out what makes them work. Keep up the honesty in your reviews.
just received my Firebox SS this morning, glad to hear i picked the right stove to buy. thanks for the round-up.
You won’t regret it I have both for several years now and just love both the 5” and the nano.
@@carmenmartinez2882 Couldn't agree more, Carmen....great products and a lot of ingenuity went into both.
Excellent reviews , well done! thanks for sharing!
Hiram cook would give you two thumbs up on your videos my friend. I've watched him for many of years. Your doing his memory justice. I've heard that he past on ,he had a passion to educate many on outdoor stoves. Thanks my friend for your new videos.
I totally agree, Firebox Stoves are THE Ultimate! Absolutely worth the money. Y'all have to check them out.They have detailed how to videos showing everything the system can do. By the way your channel is the ultimate at what you do.
The Firebox is great! I recently bought both the nano and full size in stainless steel. The weight of the full size is substantial enough to keep it out of most backpacks, so if cost and weight are issues, I don't think there's a better option than the stainless nano. It's only 2 oz more than the titanium, but half the price. Both are great and highly recommended!
By the way, thank you so much for taking the time and effort to put this video together, it's fantastic!
Totally agree. I also have both the Nano and the 5 inch Firebox Stoves and they are fantastic bits of kit. I'm in England so we probably pay a bit more because of tax from the US but they are worth every penny. Great video as always.
Really enjoyed this video.
I’ve just come off a “stove obsession” that lasted over six months.
About ten years ago, I got away from the gas stoves (I did keep my pocket rocket as it was my first) and went to alcohol stoves. Bought many styles over the years, from tiny ultralight stoves, to regular Trangia types. I even made about 30 stoves from soda cans.
Over the last six months or so, I’ve been buying wood stoves (multi-fuel). Have a dozen or so of them now. Right now my favorite is the Emberlit FireAnt. It works with solid fuel tabs, alcohol, or wood. Packs up very small, and fits in my canteen carrier.
But now, just when I thought I was finished....
I think I need to get a Firebox Nano!
Just subscribed to your channel. 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks for a great vid. I can only agree - the Firebox stoves are so useful and versatile. I have both the big one and the Nano and both fill my needs. The Nano is in my bugoutbag all the time.
Excellent video demonstration / review. Thanks...
I really appreciate your comparisons. Thankyou for this video.
This is one of the best review videos on any subject that I have ever seen. Absolutely excellent in presentation, information provided, and sheer pleasantness in viewing (listening!). Subscribed & looking forward to watching all your past (& future) work. Well done & thank you.
i agree.
Great video review, Buddy !!!
I have several of those stoves, so I could relate.
Keep up the great work !
Well done, thank you for putting this together! I will be checking out the individual reviews too.
Super effort made it look simple, thanks for the video, appreciate it was smart demo.
Thanks for showing us. Very good information. Take care.
Awesome Awesome Awesome review, first time viewer and now subscriber. No bs no obvious bias just a solid side by beside pro and con list with function display. 👍your into description is perfect for this channel
excellent video thank you for all the hard work on this
Thank you for this review, very informative and helpful
Once stepped on my Firebox Nano SS,
crushing it flatunder my Wellie.
Used my multi tool to straighten it out,
and it was as good as new.
Love my Nano.
Great bit of kit.
Fun, too!
Great review. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the great information. I will definitely be taking all that information in as i aquire various stoves. Once again thank you for the great information and the great video. Brightest Blessings to you.
Great information. The Christmas tree ornament was a nice touch. :)
Well done! And succeeded in eliminating much confusion!
Thanks for this video! So much useful information. 🙏
I've been watching your videos for some time now. I just now subscribed. Thanks for all the helpful videos. Keep them coming. I also just purchased a firebox Nano titanium off your recommendation. Looks like it will be a good one.
Thanks again
Jere P.
This is one video I have been waiting for!!
Excellent video man, super informative! Thank you very much!
i'm australian. usually we don't need a stove because everything is on fire here. however before he died my grandfather showed me how to make a stove out of a couple of tin cans that i kind of use most of the time. i just make another whenever the old one burns out, takes about 30 minutes. it's literally a rocket stove and one can nests into the other when it packs away.
I picked up the Firebox 5" in stainless. It is a solid piece of gear.
Very informative. Thank you!
Excellent, informative video! The music was a nice touch, too!
Thanks sincerely! Great video. I'm a newbie, so your opinion is very valuable to me!
So glad I ran across your video,I've been wanting a wood stove. Thanks to you I can shop for the right one to suit me needs. Thank you so much Ive subscribed and look forward to more informative info.
Great video and info!
Got me leaning towards the firebox 🔥
Fantastic review and great video, loved the music really compliments the video, Thank you
@3:45 FUEL option: Wood Pellets - I have a couple of these, one is in a family bug out kit with a few cups of Wood Pellets. I think I figured cost about 10¢/Cup - It burns for 15-25 minutes on 1C.
Personally my bug out bag just has a gril and I use some rocks to suspend it above the fire
The pellets are harder to light, but do burn longer and is inexpensive.
The Fire box Nano looks like a winner to me. In 2007 I thru-hiked the AT using an alcohol stove and a wind screen.
The Nano would make a good wind screen and the option to burn wood allows for cooking spam and other high calorie tasty trail food. Wood as an alternative fuel option the a luxury. With my alcohol stove making hot drinks and extra warm meals was not always possible due the the limited fuel supply. Excellent work with the video. THANK YOU!
Cheers to a great vid! Very nicely put together! Your style is very informative but somehow relaxing/calming at the same time. I think you hit the nail on the head, wood burning stoves are fun! I have friends who have switched to a Firebox wood burning stove from gas. When I ask why they say "it's just funner" it's a little bit challenging which makes the process more fulfilling. It becomes a skill, a feather in your cap👍😎
You're products all out of these world and I'm so happy and grateful to have them thank you so much Steve
Didn't remember this as your channel Steve. Glad to see you here
Firebox makes the absolute best stoves on the market. Period. I only have the steel versions of both the 5" and the nano. I will someday get titanium in both.
Great to hear from ya Steve! Can’t wait to pick ip the scout!!
Steve I love your products! Like I mentioned in one one your latest video promoting your new Stove, your products are super great quality even years later
I'm no expert, but the Bushcraft Essentials stove looks great. The only thing I would add to it would be a "feed ramp"; that is, a small, light weight, square piece of metal to clip onto the feed hole, so that you can insert longer twigs and let them rest on the "ramp", so that you can feed them in as needed and thus avoid embers spilling out as much, making the feed process less laborious
Love the comparisons, love the music
Absolutely! Firebox Stoves for the win!
Love the Firebox stoves! My sentimental favorite is the Bushbuddy. I have an original Fitz version as well as one of the newer ones made by his apprentice in Alaska. Great stove! I completely agree with the flexiblity of the Firebox G2 though. You can even bake on the thing!
Cool 😎 Thank you for sharing!
Sierra Zip Stove is my favorite. Yes it takes a single AA battery to run. I reworked mine to a solar charged battery. Always assembled, weighs a bit more but boils water in 4 minutes.
New Subscriber, over from Van Vita's Live Stream! Great videos! Thanks for the info!
Great video! Thank you!
I do agree, I have two ss Nano and one ss 5" FireBox, and they are awsome!
Very nice comparison. The airflow can vary with a pot set on the stove. Windscreens help. I’m cheap and really like my Lixada $15 SS stove. I made cross bars to raise the pot and this helps.
Just purchased the Nana based on this video. Thanks for great reviews.
Thanks! Great review. I have 2 Firebox (Ti and ss) and love them. Also bought the solostove campfire to keep in my car :)
Your presentation is all-pro, and your descriptions were articulated eloquently. You would make an awesome teacher. Thanks for the help, now I know what I want.
P.S. The thumbs down are from your jealous peers!
Thanks for your reviews. I have been watching Steve and his Firebox stoves for some time now. I don't have one yet but I am starting to lean that way. It does look like the best all around do everything stove.
Thank you Doctor, I really in joyed this video... small Toaks Titanium stove....
Hi Ernie. I’ve only just managed to get to this video due to work commitments in December. So, on Christmas morning I’ve enjoyed watching this with a cup of tea😁
Your content has been amazing this year. I’m not sure if viewers realise how much time and effort go in to making videos as professional as yours. Different camera angles, so many takes due to mistakes, changing light, planes etc. Then the editing process that can take hours.
Perhaps when people have no comments other than “ you should have tried this stove or that stove” they should think about what great content you produce and be grateful.
Finally, on the subject of wood stoves, when people ask for boil times I think they are missing the point. A wood stove is an experience to be savoured and gives the ability to boil water, cook a decent meal and provide warmth when required. I, personally, am a Trangia user principally. So to cook a reasonable meal you really need two Trangias going, due to relatively short burn times. With a wood stove you do not have this issue. If you just want to boil water quickly, use a small gas burner.
Awesome video, thank you
I’ve been wondering where you’ve been lately. Glad your family wasn’t hit by Covid or something serious. Nice to have you back
You got my sub. Awesome information. Can't wait to watch your other videos. I'm trying to become a one and done gear head to start my adventures.
excellent review, easy to follow without the usual chat that is boring, watched and enjoyed, now i will take time to watch your channel...thank you....
Nice video! Thank you.
