What a great little stove. Thanks for sharing with us, liking your presentation style, very laid-back and informative. Looking forward to the following videos.
This was a brilliant review. Im looking forward to your installation one because i have no idea of how to install it through our shed roof and know your video is going to be the bees knees!
Thanks for watching and commenting Claire. We are busy with shows and events at the minute but I hope to have the installation done in the next couple of weeks :)
Yes very useful video as I have been looking at this stove, and you have cleared up a few points for me. I rang them up and said have you got a shop I can see them in. They haven’t. So thanks again.
Just bought one of these myself. Have to agree they are fabulous little ovens, even if you do have to play the turning game to make sure the food is evenly cooked 😂 The water heater that clips to the flue is a nice addition for making tea or having hot water when camping in a wilder location.
Thanks for the comment Romy. Yes, I had thought about getting one of the clip on water heaters but we already had the kettle. I can see that being a good accessory though (even though it is something else to carry ;)
@@nv200camper4 Luckily I already had a water tank that came bundled with the previous wood stove I bought and now have installed in my summer house. I have my tetsubin to use in there, and it's easy enough to chuck the water tank in my roof box for when I end up in places that are of the "here is a field, have fun!" sort :D
Really looking forward to making good use of this little stove/oven. Anyone else like to share tips about these little stoves? EDIT: I didnt mention the cost in the film as prices can vary over time. Please check out the product link in the decription which will lead you to the current availability and price. Thanks
Good to see you back Andy. Good review - I got excited about this stove but looking up the price dampened my enthusiasm. I'll have to stick to my faithful trangia for now :)
I put a little coal in mine on the kindling, then I throw in some logs (not seasoned). I will have to clean the flue regularly. I’m not paying for wood and coal will make unseasoned wood burn. It doesn’t smoke much as long as you keep it burning hot.
I am in agreement with you. Yes you get less heat so you need more wood to keep it hot so no smoke as you say. If that wood is free and available you can’t lose. Seasoned wool is dry wood as you know, it doesn’t matter how quickly you dry it out if you are going to burn it. People tell me you can’t burn chipboard. I say to them yes I can just watch.
i found out it still dribbles out on top of your oven cuz the bottom flu pipe goes round the outside of the first bit on your oven top. it happened on my one.
I understand how that would happen but we haven't had this issue as yet. I wonder if it's because of the type of fuel we are burning as it seems to produce very little creosote residue in the flue.
That is a very nice stove. My only problem with it, is it has no stovepipe damper, which is hugely important for shutting down a stovepipe fire. The front air intake damper will take a very long time to affect the fire. My mother has a wood stove, and keeps fire extinguishing logs at the ready, just in case. They came in handy once. I do like that this stove has an oven. I'd highly recommend seeing if it's possible to replace the doorlatch handles with the coil type handles that don't get as hot. Thanks for sharing this. :)
Thanks for commenting Thomas. I find that the vent on the door is very effective at shutting off the air to close down the fire. I will have a look at the door latch idea, thanks
Excellent review 👏👏 I'm curious about the difference between the eco pro and the standard, i know you touched on it but practically, would know what it actually means in how it benefits paying the extra money. Kind Regards Mark.
Hi Mark. I am no expert so I have found this link which provides a good explanation www.stoveworlduk.co.uk/what-is-secondary-burn-on-a-wood-burning-stove
Enjoyed watching that Andy, I think every man is a caveman at heart and creating fire is a basic primeval instinct. Pizzas ?, perhaps if you’re an Italian caveman. 😏
Thank for watching and commenting Peter. Yes, we all like a good fire and to smell wood smoke don't we? Pizzas are quick and simple, looking forward to trying different menus next ;)
Hi, thanks for the question. Yes the whole stove is coated in that paint. Once you get it too a reasonable temp it only takes about 5 minutes to "burn off". You will notice the smoke stopping from the metal.
Nice stove - but there's one HUGE issue. It does NOT have a stove pipe damper, and it NEEDS one. This will not only prevent the flames from reaching up into the stove pipe - which is VERY dangerous, but it will also cut down drastically on your wood usage.
@@nv200camper4 if making it large enough to cook a pizza makes this SMALL unit to big to be considered portable ? And if I am mistaken by the fact this unit would be used in a basecamp situation and not someone putting it in a backpack to saunter into the forest well hell I should never look upon this unit ever again
Going by the Outbacker website this is classed as a Tent Stove so it has to be sort of portable (hence the folding legs and the travel bag with handles). We regularly cook pizzas in it. I suppose it depends on how big you like your pizzas :) There are probably other stoves out there with bigger ovens, this happens to be the one I reviewed.
it's a very small firebox and that makes it almost impractical to keep it in overnight without adding more fuel. In addition, due to the risk of carbonmonoxide poisioning I wouldn't keep any small stove like this going unattended.
@@foodparadise5792 the cut out on the top is part of the intended design and is great if you are cooking something that needs high heat- like a stir fry in a wok. On any stove, if air can find a way in then carbon monoxide can find a way out (through the door gaps/vents etc). On any wood burning stove carbon monoxide poisoning is potentially a serious hazard, play it safe and invest in an alarm.
I don’t understand your comment regarding carbon monoxide and shutting the fire down before bedtime. If the stove is allowing carbon monoxide to escape then it is dangerous whether awake or asleep. I would personally have a carbon monoxide alarm in close proximity to the stove just to be safe.
all woodburning stoves put out Carbon Monoxide when burning and if air can get in then CO can get out. As I mention in the film at 36:48 having a CO alarm is essential. Better to be safe than sorry.
I use a piece of 5 bar Aluminium plate for this stove in my tent.
I assume you mean to lift off the top plate?
What a great little stove. Thanks for sharing with us, liking your presentation style, very laid-back and informative. Looking forward to the following videos.
Thanks for the kind comment Matt and for taking time to watch.
Good review and unboxing. Thank you!!! 🔥

How much?

unseasoned wood contains a lot more water and burns inefficiently. Seasoned wood will produce less creosote and more heat.
@@nv200camper4yeah but I’ve got enough unseasoned wood for free to heat my shed for about 2 years. Some of it will be dry by then
I am in agreement with you.

@@nv200camper4thank you.
I can see that you found it impossible to put the longer flue pipes back in the way they came, just like I did.
haha, I actually forgot which way I took them out :)

does the paint smoke off inside the oven chamber also??? how long should you burn it in so its safe?

Quite an excellent review of this oven/stove. Wonder if it is available in Canada?
Thank you for the comment Stephen. Not sure if you can get it over there.

Put a little bit of water in Ash on a rag and should clean that glass right up
Печь неплохая. Но ей явно не хватает двух полок для посуды, слева и справа.
did you fit it in your summer house.
by pure chance I have fitted it in this week and I have just added the film to my channel. :)
I wish it was just a bit larger in the oven
Well I suppose there is a balance in making the overall size of the stove larger against portability.
@@nv200camper4 if making it large enough to cook a pizza makes this SMALL unit to big to be considered portable ?

@@nv200camper4 cool you have set me straight you have told me how it is guess you showed me who is the boss who is in charge YOU THE NAM IN IT
Are there any company that sell this stove and are they in any catalog I can send for and thank u
How much is it ?
currently 339 GBP. This price can vary, check out the link to the product in the description.
They put a damper in the pipe somewhere
no, on this stove the flue is a straightforward pipe. The vent on the firebox door acts as a damper.
The cost is 260 GBP for this one on their website.
actually the current cost is 340 GBP for the version shown.
Ummm if you cannot keep this running overnight than this stove is completely useless, I would say?? 🙂
it's a very small firebox and that makes it almost impractical to keep it in overnight without adding more fuel. In addition, due to the risk of carbonmonoxide poisioning I wouldn't keep any small stove like this going unattended.
Like i said useless also the chimney on those is too small and will require daily cleaning 😞@@nv200camper4
A carbon monoxide alarm is essential.
@@nv200camper4 I don't like the cut out on top. Without that, carbonmonoxide poisioning won't be an issue.
