The Firebox Scout consists of a box that measures 4.5 x 4.5 x 5 inches (width x depth x height), with strategic holes all across its body for airflow and a larger cutout right above the base for feeding fuel to the fire when burning small pieces of wood. The size should make it compact enough for packing in various bags and cases, while being big enough to adequately heat up the kind of smaller pots and pans people tend to carry when camping. It has a lid that allows you to use it as case for smaller items during transport to save room in your pack, all while snapping to the bottom of the box during cooking to elevate the fire chamber off the ground.
According to the outfit, the upper hole pattern is meant to exhaust air flow to control the heat when the cooking vessel is placed right on the mouth opening, so if you want to cook in higher temperatures, you should use the optional Accelerator Cross Bars to create an exhaust gap around the top of the stove. Other optional cooking accessories include a Multi-Fuel Fire Grate for raising the fuel tray’s height, Positioning Pins, and a Small Grill.
If burning sticks and twigs aren’t enough to give you the high heat levels you want, the Firebox Scout can also fit a small log up to 4 x 4 inches (length x diameter), although the outfit recommends that you split the log into fourths before inserting into the fuel chamber. From there, you can lodge the Accelerator Cross Bars accessory at the top of the log and start the fire using whatever means you want. For best results, though, they suggest shoving a fuel tablet in the cross section of the log all the way to the bottom to quickly get it going.
It can also use just fuel tablets on its own as fuel, although when doing that, they suggest using the lid to cover the bottom two rows of holes to restrict air flow and make the fuel last much longer. Additionally, when using fuel tablets, wood pellets, or charcoal, you can use the multi-fuel fire grate accessory to raise the fuel tray higher, so it’s a lot closer to your cooking vessel. Lastly, the box is sized to house many types of canned fuels, alcohol burners, and gas burners that you can set in place using the Positioning Pins, in case you want to use them as fuel, with the Scout essentially serving as an external housing.

Was looking for an update for your next fish bake. Probably was too long cooking but thanks for showing your "fail". I have the scout and was looking for some recipes for our camping next week. My husband loves fish so I’ll definitely try this out too.

Been eager to try some coal on my firebox scout. Looks like it’ll work quite well. 👍🏻

Well done mate! Good on ya for owning the fail - how else do we learn? I'm getting a Scout this week and am keen to try some billy can cooking. I think if you put a few coals on top of the can, you can cut the overall cooking time down, which should reduce the chance burning.

Thanks for taking time to comment we love the feedback. It’s a very useful setup. I’ve enjoyed cooking with it.

Thanks for learning, so I didn't have to... I think the rule of thumb one layer of is 8 briquets. something like that you may only need 4 ? I haven't tried it yet, but i will.

Honestly my biggest mistake was just cooking to long. But I’ve done it with a single stack of 4. You can always add more for longer burn time. Thanks for taking time to comment. Have a great weekend
Cheers
