- Welcome to the "Firebox Freestyle Instructional Video". I've tried to cover everything from configurations and alternative fuels to how to manage a cooking fire.
Here's a list of what I covered and where it can be found within the video:
0:39 "Configuration Tips" These nuggets of information will help you set up your freestyle into different shapes and cooking configurations.
9:56 "Everything Kit" Here I show you what's included in the everything kit and how to organize it in it's Black D-Ring Case.
10:57 "Alternative Fuels" the Firebox Freestyle is capable of utilizing several fueling options. In this section I give you tips on the best way to use each.
16:00 "Wood Burning Basics" Every wood burning stove has unique wood burning characteristics. In this section I teach you how to build and maintain a cooking fire in the Firebox Freestyle. I also specific instructions on fueling the "Triangle Torch"
20:48 "Care & Maintenance" The extreme temperatures of a wood fire cause stainless steel to lose its corrosion resistance and it burns off lubricating oils. In this section I show you the easiest way to apply a light coat of oil to both your Freestyle Stove and the Fire Pan Tin. I also show you how I clean up my cooking pot after cooking over a wood fire.
28:22 "Bonus Information" Some extra information you'll be glad to know as well as how to use the "locking fire sticks" to get creative in making custom set ups with your Firebox Freestyle.
More Than Six Ways To Freestyle!
#1- 3" Tri Torch:
The ultralight (Ti-4.9oz) option that packs a punch! This little stove cranks out the BTU's! Its fuel loads vertically which creates a micro Swedish fire torch. The resulting thermal column pulls in more combustion air compensating for less oxygen at high elevations or other poor burning condition like wet, cold and or poor-quality wood. Once a bed of coals is established sticks can be fed through the side feed ports (Rocket Stove Style).
Designed to work perfectly with the high performance Toaks Siphon Jet alcohol burner (blooms in 5 seconds or less & provides very fast boil times, and only weighs 0.7oz)
#2- 4" Freestyle:
A state of the art, multi-fuel, high performance flat folding mid-sized stove that will satisfy your stoving needs with style!
Comes in its own "Fire Pan Tin" to conveniently adhere to a "Leave No Trace" ethic.
Burns wood which can be fed from the top or through the side feed port-which are offset-allowing sticks to cross inside the burn chamber, which creates flame turbulence, improving burn efficiency.
Freestyle has a hinged damper which can be opened to massively increase exhaust capacity allowing high flow burns like a (ever so fun) Swedish Fire Torch.
Designed specifically to accommodate both the Trangia alcohol burner or isobutane gas burner attachment, both with correct headspace for optimal performance.
#3- 7" Hexagon Storm:
A functional fire-pit/stove. Big enough and round enough to provide a authentic campfire experience.
Small enough to make perfect sense as a stove when cooking with a larger pot, fry-pan, or even a wok.
This configuration folds down to a single stack which fits neatly into a single Fire-Pan Tin for convenient storage and deployment.
#4- 8" Bushcrafter:
Bushcraft mode is all about cooking versatility and being able to "flat lay" longer sticks.
Every panel has a fuel feed port so regardless of how you set the stove up you will always have a convenient place to feed sticks in as they burn.
This configuration folds down to a single stack which fits neatly into a Fire-Pan Tin for convenient storage and deployment.
#5- 10" Octagon Fire Pit:
(shown in Titanium) Two "Stove Kits" and one "Mod Kit" are needed for this configuration. The large square grill is included in the "Mod Kit"
When it comes to traditional camping ambience the "Octagon Fire Pit" delivers!
Not only do you get a fantastic bonfire, the "Extra Long Firesticks" make this beauty very functional, supporting pots, pans or grills in a variety of arrangements over your wood fueled fire.
This configuration folds flat into two connected stacks which will fit into the front pocket of the "D-Ring Organizer Bag" making quick work of making and breaking camp.
#6- 12" Field Kitchen:
Versatility is the name of the game! You'll be able to pull off amazing meals with the "Field Kitchen".
Being nearly twelve inches long you'll be able to "Flat Lay" some serious lumber in this beauty, "Bushcraft Style!"
This configuration folds flat into two connected stacks which will fit into the front pocket of the "D-Ring Organizer Bag" making quick work of making and breaking camp,

Engineering masterpiece. Well thought out, and well explained instructional video.
Thank you Dan!
Steve, I’ve been a FireBox lover from day one, and this Freestyle is your most incredible invention yet! Outdoorsy people and DIYers unite!
Nice! Thanks Joseph!
Thank you for your support Joseph, it is appreciated!
@@fireboxstove is it still possible to order the Freestyle? This is the first I’ve heard of it and it looks like the Kickstarter is over.
And a day with “Ash the sentry” in frame is absolutely epic 🤙
Just received my stove today and a can’t wait to use it 👍 I went for the “all inclusive” package so I have tons of stuff to try out. Workmanship looks and feels excellent and with all the different setups it will never be difficult to find the right solution for the task at hand. I think it will be with me on every motorcycle trip, even if it’s just for coffee 😁
Keep up the good work and those brilliant videos, they truly are an inspiration to all of us 👍
It will be fun for you to show your friends out on the trail 👍😎 Thanks!
Love everything just a lot to remember
It is amazing how many ways that the Freestyle can be configured. Thanks for putting this video together Steve. It will be the ultimate reference for years to come
Thank you for your support Mark!! Glad you enjoyed it.
Steve, you have outdone yourself, again. Not only is the design very versatile, but the quality of the workmanship on the stove is superb. I have all of your stoves and my family loves it when I cook a variety of things from hotdogs, steaks, whole chickens, etc. The list goes on. You have looked at supplementing campers cooking needs to the hikers' desires of ultra-low weight, with quality in both camps. Thanks, for your meticulous engineering approach to the design and manufacture of the stove and the other products you've designed and built.
Thank you Larry both for the kind words and for your support and encouragement over the years 🙏👍😎
Отличный конструктор 👍 поражаюсь простоте и гениальности, вашего продукта 🤩
Thank you Sanya!
just received my kit, and can't wait to use it! I was impressed by the quality of each piece of the kit. The different configurations are amazing, and your instructions are most appreciated. Thanks for sharing! :-)
Thanks for the feedback Gray! I'm so glad to hear that you're happy with your Firebox Freestyle👍😎
just got mine in the mail a few days ago. can't wait to use it.
Nice Myles, I hope you have a great time trying it out 👍😎
Just fantastic! Thanks Steve
I'm glad you liked it doug. Thank you!
Received my Everything Kit and 10" Cook kit yesterday. Great bundle, have some more goodies on order now that I have it in my paws. Love this video, thanks, Steve.
Probably keep my original in the pick-up, this kit in my Tahoe, and my mini for when on foot.
Perfect! Thanks so much for your feedback Rratdog!
I received mine today and despite it being a cold rainy day, I had to go out to use it. It is so interesting how thought out the different aspects are. There are lots of folding stoves out, but most of them are not nearly as well thought out for versatility. I love your stoves and can’t wait to use this one.
Thank you! We hope your have a great time out there with many great meals. Cheers to you!
I love my kit! used for a bbq sesh and a morning breakfast in my backyard ~ this video helps me understand how to use the long legs and notched pins~ I am gonna take my kit out and try it~ Thanks!!!
Thank you for your support. We are so glad this video was helpful!
Your mind must see the end product and all the uses of it first, to design and production second, an amazing stove from an amazing company got mine on May 6th and have been going through my mind of all the possibilities this video clears some things up for me thanks for making another great stove Steve
You bet, Thank you for your support!!
Thank you I just received my 5in firebox stove master kit today and tomorrow I should received my pan and plates set.....thank you so much and happy Father's day
Thank you for your support Mario and Happy Father's Day to you as well! 😁
GENIUS !!! 💥💥💥💥💥💥💥
Thanks!
Awesome stuff! 👌
Thanks Nathan!
My Kickstarter Order arrived and just looking for a clean, interruption free period to play with configurations! The keyhole setup looks to be extremely versatile. Thanks for video.
Awesome Greg! Thanks so much!
Frickin awesome man.
Thank you Dennis!
Got my full kit from the kickstarter, and I am very happy with it. Very well thought out system that I have no doubt will work as well as my 5” and nano have.
Just wanted to share an experience. I enjoy twig stoves for some reason, I like to look at all types and designs. So I ran across one I’m unfamiliar with so I checked out their web site. They categorize their stoves by how many people it can cook for, a 1 person, 2 person and 2-4 person which is what I will focus on since that’s the one I really looked at. It was carbon steel, and was a jigsaw puzzle that had to be put together (seriously, many pieces). It could only be put together one way. It weighed 17 friggin pounds…. And cost $350.00 . Needless to say that just made me appreciate my firebox’s even more!
Lol! I think I know what you're talking about. I remember having similar thoughts about it. Thanks for joining the conversation!
I 'found' all those positions BUT this video is AWESOME as you really show how EASY it is to swap out the configurations without doing some of the things I did to figure them out. THANK YOU for this video it is absolutely a must for saving time on the learning curve for me. Steve this Freestyle may just put the other firesbox stoves out of the use business, not really😁.
I have a nano in my pocket, backpack, daily take along constantly. I have the G5 in my Hiking setup when not using it on the patio and the Scout hanging where I can grab it in a hurry on my way anywhere. Now I can pack everything that comes with the freestyle in it's pouch and grab whatever I need from it for what I am planning to do - from a single daily hike to campfire for marshmellows on the patio with the grandkids. Great engineering and a product that is not only very useful but very simple to use whichever/however I need to. As I said I am going to post some video of my usage(here or insta) in the next couple months as I get a chance - I'll let you know when I do get to it.
That will be awesome Ken I look forward to seeing them! Cheers!
Mind Blown!....not sure how I missed this stove but have one on the way, The options seem endless here...Well done.
I'm like you in that I love my fire patina on my cookware but for those interested an old timers trick was to rub soap on the pot bottoms and sides before going on the fire and any clean up is easier. We just used regular old bar soap(unscented preferably in predator country).
That's great!! You'll have to let us know what you think of the Freestyle when you get to try this stove out.
Yes, the soap method works great! Sure appreciate your comment.
Awesome video Steve! Thank you bring your dreams to life and providing us with great outdoor products. 👍🏻🇺🇸
Thank your for your kind words, your support is appreciated!
Super informative Steve. Thank you!
Thank you for watching as always!
Just ordered it finally with a bunch of other things very inspiring man thank you for your videos and ur craftsmanship! Keep the videos coming man and keep showing us ideas and tips and tricks man I can’t wait to use this thing.
Thank you so much for your support! Let us know what your think when you get to try it out.
Steve, from a longtime fan, always enjoy your products and videos. This new project is going to be fun to use for sure. Looking forward to get out on the trails. Take care.
Thanks james! I hope you get lots of time available to enjoy your new freestyle 👍😎
Приятно рядом с Впми путешествовать.С собаками' летом с козлами. Эти пейзажи удивительные.
Just got my freestyle today. Very cool stove! Very innovative and unique. The quality, just like everything else I’ve gotten from firebox is extremely good!! Thanks also for the video You explained how to do all the setups really well. Everything is very well thought out Thank you very much!!
Thank you so much Mark! I appreciate the feedback and endorsement 👍😎
Outstanding Information Brother Steve, Thank you for Sharing your Time, That was A awesome experience. Sincerely your freind from Mo Rick and God Bless you 🙏 and your family and God Bless America 🙏 🇺🇸 and God Bless all of the Great Veterans and First Responders 🙏 🇺🇸
Genius!!
Thanks so much!
Awww, the sizzle of that steak. And cooked to perfection 👍🏼✝️. Nice job, and the Firebox is very nice..lots of thought you have put into all of your products 👍🏼. Excellent work. ✝️
As always, thank you so much Tony z! 👍😎🙏
Thank you so much for watching and your comment!
The legendary engineering and wizardry assigned 🔥 continues
Bravo
Lol thanks so much!
Thanks Steve I received my single titanium freestyle and now had several burns. It starts up really fast and burns hot, though I have managed to create a lower temperature for cooking by just adding larger pieces of wood to the fire. So far it’s exceeded my expectations and will be part of my kit on a 7 day backpacking trip I have planned. Only downside so far is that the tin when acting as an ash pan can get very hot as small coals can drop through the fire grate so I will probably use some carbon felt underneath to protect the ground or table a bit more.
Thank you for your support and feedback Peter, it is truly appreciated. Have fun out there!
Hi Steve,
I just would like to say that you have a very great mind for creating these stoves. I am a long-time fan and hopefully, the world will recognize your creativity in overlanding/camping. You are THE GOAT on stoves! (no pun intended) say hi to Bill, Levi, Ash, Junie, and the fam!
Thanks for your kind comment Lauren 👍😎🙏
JUST GOT MINE IN. CANT WAIT FOR MY NEXT TRIP TO USE IT
You'll have to let us know what you think once you get to try it out! Thanks for watching!!
While making coffee this morning on my FreeStyle stove & playing with my new Toaks burner, I also ordered a Ti wind guard for my Ti Nano. I was using a 750 pot with a bail, most people probably know that pot. So I literally just got the burner & guard & while the water was on I was looking at the guard thinking I wonder if it would fit the FreeStyle, well it’s a great fit on the stove & for that pot. It really helps keep the pot handle from getting hot 🔥🇨🇦
Awesome!
Awesome and ty Steve I can’t wait till mine gets shipped
Won't be long now. Thanks so much Trent!
The best bro👋🏼👋🏼🇲🇾🇲🇾
Thanks!
Nice !
Thanks!
My stoves made it, naturally right after I finished making my backyard coffee yesterday. So today is First Burn 🔥 Friday….. Coffee & some FireBox videos on the iPad, watching Steve cook some trout 👍🇨🇦. Might even fry up some breakfast Bannock, about 100 grams of bannock mix, 1 pack apple cinnamon oatmeal & some blueberries.
That sounds delicious!!! Thank you for the support, we sure appreciate it.
Thank you so much for such a quick response to our question. 🙂👍👍
My pleasure Juanita 👌👍😎
What a great system, mine just arrived!
Gonna use it this weekend, can't wait. Thank you so much.

Awesome Rick! Sounds like a good system 👍😎
Much success amigo!
Great product made better 😊
Thanks so much!
Все компактное' все для легкого путешествия.
Very Versatile and helpful!
Thank you for making this upgraded stove system and these helpful videos to show how to use and show what is possible!:-)
My pleasure! Thank you for checking it out!
Now this is an invention I want to be apart of supporting. What a smart, simple and intelligent design. I can't wait to own one. Great job! 👌💯
Thank you for your support, we truly appreciate it!!
I have a G2 5" with all of the grills and cup plate - I was thinking of adding a freestyle everything - I may just buy 2 separate freestyles, one to supplement my G2 5, and one for a gift... the stove versatility is incredible 👍
Thanks! Now's a good time since we are in the middle of our best Black Friday sale ever. But best of all the everything kit is discounted even more than everything else.
👍🎥love it🔥👍👍
Thank you!
Good Work
Thanks 😊
Good video. I think I will stick with my good old 5" stove. And my nano.
That works! Thanks for your support.
May seem like a under use of parts, but my plan is to leave mine set up for the six sided configuration. I have a couple of 5” and 4” so I can now I no longer have to take into account how many different things I plan on doing. Just my six configuration and a Nano when it is coffee time! Golden! ✌️
Nice!👍😎 Thanks Jay!
Very Very good sharing my love frand
Thank you for watching!
Wow❤
😁 thanks for watching!
You should have call this The Firebox Houdini Stove ..all these combinations switch like magic!
Nice! Thanks!😎👍
Very interesting this stove...!💙💙💙 Here in Brazil there is wood that produces heat as much as mineral coal...! small sticks could be used...!🇧🇷
Sounds perfect! Thanks 👍😎
It yeah baby I’m headed to “camp cody” aka my backyard to practice some more with mine!
Nice! Thanks Cody!
Yep, youre a genius...
Just obsessed 👍👌😎
I watched the video like I own one 🤣🤷♂️ great videos
Thanks!
You deserve so much love for such great engineering/innovation. Keeping my fingers crossed for your commercial success. For me: just a bit complicated. 👍😘
I am the proud owner of a G1 and a G2 Firebox, and very happy! You rule, Steve.
Thanks so much for your kind words and encouragement 🙏
Hallo hab heute mein Firebox freestyle Set bekommen viel grüße aus Deutschland Lg Mike
Awesome Mike I hope you have a great time with your new Firebox Freestyle Stove!
Awesome video! Thanks for taking the time to put that together. My "Everything" kit is in the mail....HURRY UP USPS :)
Nice! 👍😎🙏
💚
I thought the G2 was versatil but this is awesome.
Thank you, it's a great versatile stove!! 😊
Oh how I wish I hadn’t bought the 5’ firebox last year,this would have suited me so much better.I have made my bed though so going to lie in it 👍
We appreciate your support!
Dude, excellent video and your steak looked great
Thanks so much!
I am addicted to firebox stoves having a gen5, a Nano and a scout so maybe for next Christmas Santa might put the freestyle under the tree😉
Lol we hope you get what you want. Thank you for your support!
구독과 좋아요 꾹 ~ 누릅니다^ㅡ^
Thank you!!
servus aus Vorarlberg 🇦🇹
das schaut aber echt schön aus und ich bin mir sicher es strahlt auch sehr viel Wärme aus 😄👍
LG Leopold 🤗
Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much Leopold!
I absolutely love everything you make I want one of each!!
Well thank you, your support is appreciated!!
92 degrees here and now I want to go outside, collect sticks, and start fires in all of these positions. haha
Oh wow! We are still pretty cool here in Utah. Sounds like it's time to head to the mountains 👍😎
👍
Hey Steve you ever look into making an adjustable grate option for the grates on the freestyle where you could have a simple adjustment to open and close the grate to make holes smaller to burn slower if needed.
That's a great suggestion, thanks for passing it along my friend. 😁
I was really enjoying watching the different configurations of these great stoves, lost interest when I saw that awesome steak, that was a beauty..
Lol thanks for watching Ben!
Yes! One of the best steaks I've had. 🙏
Lots of comments on the quality of the build. As soon as I unpacked mine the first thing I noticed was the greats are much more robust! Maybe it is just me but I really noticed a difference.
You are correct Jay the fire grates are quite robust. That's because they endure the highest temperatures. The cool thing is that the wire fire grates are about half the weight of sheet metal fire grates👍😎
Awesome! just got back from a trip... was planning a catch and cook to break in the new stove but I didn't catch any fish Ha ha ha ha.
Ugh that's disappointing. Better luck next time!
Lol! I hate when that happens! Oh well, good excuse to try again tomorrow 👍😎🙏
👍👍❤❤👌👌
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Great job, I liked it. I also recently started making videos about hiking and bushcraft and it's pretty good. Greetings from Belarus!
Thank you for your support. We wish you the best of luck with your videos.
My Everything Ti is on its way 🔥👍.Mister Postman says I won’t get it until Monday now, it was listed as Friday. I hope you will have extra pin-legs available on the website because you know people will loose them.
That's a very good point. I will get some on order right away.
This is a great overview of the freestyle 👍. Just wondering if you could do a torture test like you did with the green 2 5"with heat and dutch ovens with the titanium 5" and freestyle kit so we know the safe limits for each stoves operation? Thanks 🏕️ 🔥
Will you ever go back to the Firebox Gen 2 after the freestyle? I just got my freestyle and watched the instruction video and it really helped with learning different positions and uses for the freestyle. Amazing stoves all by firebox. I’ve always been a fan
I don't feel like the Freestyle replaces the original G2 5-in Firebox. Each system brings unique features to the table. As with the Nano each stove appeals to different people based on their use case, camping style and taste. All four of my stove designs are very different from each other and appeal to different people for a variety of reasons.
So awesome! When might we see them on the website?
They are on our website right now, you can get one here: www.fireboxstove.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=501&search=Freestyle+. Thank you for your support!
Absolutely loving it Steve. When can I buy the full kit in uk 🇬🇧 Hopefully from one of our Bushcraft shops soon
Paul
👍 thanks foxy
Here's a link to our dealer list if you can ask them to include what you would like in their next order www.fireboxstove.com/Dealer
Great tutorial. Be great if the bag was a dark colour that would hide dirt and grime. Do we need to worry about hot fires over time wearing out the grates and grills especially with campfires ? 🔥
The grills and grates are overbuilt and will last a long time. Heat will lessen their ability to resist corrosion so a light coat of oil maybe needed occasionally to keep the parts properly maintained.
I’m going out on a limb here predicting one of the best tent 🏕 stoves on the market will come to pass soon.
Lol you never know what the future holds.
I really like the folding firepan for the freestyle and the nano. Is there a folding firepan that will fit my standard firebox?
So far we only have them for the Freestyle and the Nano. Thanks Richard!
Another configuration is the “Double Triangle”
Put both stoves together stretch it out as the “Bushcraft 8” after it’s in the bushcraft 8, the side closest to yourself make the 2 an 3 panels touch each other by pushing it into the rectangle of the stove.
Than pull the 2 an 3 panels on the other side into the stove as you did with the other side until there touching. An have the folded 2 an 3 panels from each side overlap each other about half way.
The 8 panel stove than will basically look like a single 4” freestyle stove. But will than have a divider from each sides 2 an 3 panels diagonally through the inside of a 4” stove.
Now the left an right side of that single stove should have the fold down damper for exhaust. Than you can run double Swedish fires in each side of the 4” stove in one.
Looks just as if you made the triangles singly. But it’s connected into one an each side had a damper. Than you’ll have the stability of a single stove vs putting two triangles side by side and the an the added stability of a square base for the pan/pot to sit on
Sounds pretty dang cool! I knew my customers would find ways to utilize the freestyles modularity in all sorts of fashions. This setup sounds especially creative. Thank you aqua boss!
