The firebox especially the titanium version is the king 👑 of wood stoves 🤗
Everyone always advertises those butane and propane stoves. This is the real deal. Not always gonna have corporate distributed gas canisters around in a survival/camp scenario. Much more realistic and useful for long term. Unlimited uses
Glad I'm not the only one with a stove addiction ;)
I’ve just found your channel . I loved watching your reviews, especially when you explained some of the drawbacks. Especially those needing a lot of fuel. Years ago in a moment of clarity, I bought the original firebox nano 1st generation ( the one without the tray) and it saved my bacon. I had no access to my bank account for 2 weeks and I was wild camping on a beach in Tenerife until my flight. I ran out of money and couldn’t buy gas for my burner. All I had was the Nano. Because I was on a beach, with other people camping nearby, there was no firewood available but the Nano ran on twigs! So I was able to cook my food and make coffee. I love that little thing. I still take it with me today. It folds up so small, you don’t even know you’re carrying it. I just wanted to big up the Nano. I also just subscribed to your channel because I like your style and your honest , proper reviews. Thanks for this.
Original Firebox all day every day. Love it long time!
The Firebox can use wood, pellets, propane, sterno, solid fuel or charcoal. Not only do they have that baking system, there is an option for the Billy can to be a steamer and there is also a pizza stone and they’ve just come out with a rotisserie system. There is an upgrade to a leather case. Those hooked rods can also hang the grill grates on the side like a shelf to keep things warm. I haven’t seen a compact camp stove that is as versatile. I watched a video explaining the hole pattern on the side which had to do with the physics of the design, heat direction, etc. I’ve ben looking at camp stoves and reading reviews and I haven’t seen a stove that offers me the choices the Firebox does. At this point that is my number one contender as I won’t be hiking so I don’t need something light.
Fantastic review. You explain all of these well and I've seen the bush box on your channel looks great
Every time you greet us with your smile it brings such joy!!! Love your channel! Learning so much lately! Love from Seattle, USA.
Thank you very much for this comprehensive overview! I immediately ordered the PICOGRILL 239 🙂
Fan of Firebox Stove. Only manufacturer I know of that takes his designs out and uses them on their channel. Haven't gone wrong with any that I've purchased and I'll definitely be in this upcoming Kickstarter.
The firebox are so reliable and total bomb proof. love mine. and they are a local company for me so its great to support a local business
07:01 If you stack the wood nice and tight, standing it up vertically in the stove, you'll get a longer burn. That means you can cook up whatever you want without the constant hassle of refueling.
Try the gasifier stove with wood pellets it works great. Smashing video by the way
What stove you have for wood pellets
Awesome vid - I was fully expecting to be convinced to buy a Firebox but then you demo'd the Pico Grill ... soooooo thin and light :)
Ad I saw first on this video was from Solo Stove... which make camping stoves that I have used with a carbon steel wok and the pots and tripod and so on. I can use about any dry biofuel
Hands down the Winnerwell and Pico stove are what I'm looking at. Not even close
Kent, I didn’t know you before this video, but I have watched more and I have grown found of you. Anyway, I watched this one year ago, and you convinced me to try the picogrill. I actually got a really good knock-off from Amazon Japan called Huanbush, and I am overjoyed. Truly, thank you for showing me this kind of stove! I’d never have the cash for a real picogrill and got both 85 and 239 knock-offs for 30€, incl shipping AND some skewers for the bigger one. I am in love with these. Got a cheap titanium pot as well, and my wood stove cookset weighs less than some backpacker’s kits, And I do actual cooking with these! I’d buy you a pint if I could
I have a Solo Titan which is perfect for me. It's like having a single burner gas stove out in the field.
A good and informative video, thanks. Embarrassingly I have 60% of those and a few more you didn't show. I think I may have gotten carried away.
Thank you for a very thorough comparison of several options; it will surely help for people who are considering each of the options. Hike well and happily!
My Tomshoo titanium works great as a windscreen for my Trangia stove and a back up twig stove in case I run out of alcohol. Then I take a pint of whiskey in case I run out of food.
I've used that baking kit and it's the business. Freshly baked cake and bread in camp!! 😉
My favorite design is the licksada like a tour of a castle.
I have one of those gasifiers, Ouhuhu branded but looks 100% the same you can use meths, twigs, solid fuel tabs, lots of options out the box but I've drilled through the ash pan to let me feed my gas stoves line through, using the gasifier as a windbreak and pot support for those times actual fire isn't a clever optiom.
I love the concept of baking with the fire box! That is genius
Big smile when I saw all your stoves lined up and operating 🔥🔥🔥🔥 interesting stuff Andy. I am not a camper but after becoming hooked on your videos I feel like I could survive out there if I had to 😃 Thanks again! 🪵🪓🇨🇦
I loved this video. Thank you! Lots of extra credit for you filming them all burning at once!
Hi my name is Andy and I have a stove collecting addiction. 😁 That Swiss lightweight one looks cool, although I can also see the advantage of the cube (kickstarter) one. That is also a neat idea. Regards Al.
Wowsers, so many options....
Ghillie kettle for me, all the way..:)
Awesome. I have the same addiction, glad I’m not alone !
Love seeing a solid review on one of my favorite tools in your camping arsenal 👌
Have the gasifier stove for a few years now. It is very efficient. Like all the stoves you mentioned, you must control the fuel input to set the cooking temperature. Cooking on coals is the best way to cook but none of these are great at producing even cooking coals (wood fuel, sticks) to cook on without some modification...ie. limiting the size of the air holes in the coal tray w/ aluminum foil...for example. Using just one or two charcoal briquettes is an easy way to control heat w/o too much flame or on the flip side having the flames go out. Hot briquettes is an easy and lightweight way to reestablish a flame with no effort. This method keeps hot coals always available. For an indestructible stove, it's light weight and cost....still around $22. usd, this is an amazing stove which can be used with a Trangia stove, too. Much more than just a "boil water stove" imho. Thanks Andy
THANKS FOR SHARING the charcoal hack. Using hardwood briquettes is the best way to control top and bottom heat on cast iron ovens as well.
Thanks for this comment^^, was looking into getting one of these combined with the 775ml MSR alpine stowaway pot, since it should fit inside.
Great comparison Kent! Usefull information here, it has nicelly confirmed my opinion on chosing firebox as my go-to stoves, G2 is awesome, now the firebox freestyle is my favourite one, when i am all alone, as a weight reduction from the fact the G2 weights about a kilogram (I dont need the titanium ones, i thing the extra 0,5kg is nothing, I am not an UL hiker or something like that). Thank you!
The Bushbox LF looks peeerfect! Wish they made quality products like this in the states........
Nice review. I like the gasifiers with less smoke. Handy if family members have asthma and such plus it is nice if doing any sort of "low presence" camping.
Exactly. The gasifier is perfect for a quick brew on a woodland walk. Undetectable once it's going.
Lots of great options. I have a folding one I got with a cheap cook kit that I have never used. Maybe one day. Thanks for sharing!
Andy, you DONT have enough stoves mate, you can never have enough lol. I just bought the Firebox stove and that is defo my favourite now, the most technical one to use I reckon. I actually didn't know there was so many, nice to see some I didn't know about, maybe i'll be nice to the wife today and mention I might need a new one👍Yet to get a Bushbox. Cheers.
I agree with your comment..
He could fire them all up and just invite us for breakfast, I'm on the wrong continent though.
@@markfish8403 I could defiantly enjoy an andy cooked breakfast
Hells yeah! That mixed breakfast on the slab of slate, he needs a helper! Are hatchets left-handed in England?
Good job I enjoyed watching .
you turned me on to a new product the Pico. I looked it up 2 stores / 3 charcoal grill !!
Great collection you got there Andy! I have the baking kit too but still use my bushbox with it with a extra pair of trivets. It is a little bit wobbly but I prefer the bigger feeding hole in the bushbox.
Good video! So many lol. Will be my next addition to gear. Cheers, from Dutch newbie outdoorsy woman😊
Great video, and cheers from across the pond. I’ve bought a handful of these stoves testing options for myself and students on courses. With increasing fire regulations finding methods that are approved and safe for the majority has taken precedence here.
What an assortment of wood burners. I spied some I have but missed the top three for my use. The Titanium Firebox Nano Gen 2 , The Solo Stove lite and last but not lease the Vargo Hexagon titanium stove. The Vargo I drilled three holes ( 3/8 Th inch ) In a Diamond configuration , in ever other panels base area to increase ventilation.
Thank you for this fine video. I’m in need of one that’s good and light.
Dang quite a collection of stoves! I have one, Keith titanium it packs flat and is pretty easy to set up. Great when your out and it’s really to dry and breezy to have an open fire. Thanks for sharing brother! 😎
absolutely fantastic overview of the stoves offered. I think I am going to get a pico and a firebox.
Andy you got a great collection of fire boxes thanks for a awesome video always enjoyin your review videos.👍
Awesome video Firebox is coming out with a new stove in early March on Kickstarter called the Freestyle many different configuration’s -4 inch box, fire trough, triangle, etc.
I have the scout . I got it through the Kickstarter program too . I have a few lixada stoves as well . They make a hinged corner ones but I haven't got one yet . Great video as always Andy!! Take care and stay safe my friend !!!
I have a folding stove with the 12 Survivors brand on it, the sides are hinged and only need to lock in one corner and comes with an ash pan for the bottom and a grill for the top which stabilizes the stove. I added a couple tent stakes to give me a few more options. I have used it as a wind screen for my homemade alcohol stove. not sure if you have heard of 12 Survivors but thought you might be interested in looking it up
This was very good and I found it helpful and interesting. Thank You.
Thanks for that dude - lovely little presentation, concise but perfectly informative... Right, time for an upgrade for me as I only have the Wild Camping International titanium at present which is exactly like your first stove the Lixada.
Great reviews Andy, I’ve just found your new review channel 👍🏼. I’ve just purchased one of those cheap Chinese folding stove’s so waiting on it to arrive. I have seen a video on how to do a couple of fine adjustments to make it more solid, hopefully it will work out to be ok. Thanks for your reviews.
Thats a great selection of stoves Andy. I've been using the Folding Firebox for years and have both stainless steel and Titanium versions.
Is either better? Why?
Some of them look like good options to keep at home in the garage for an emergency power outage! Thanks for sharing Andy! Oh and hey, I won't make any comment about how many stoves you have. Haha! I'm a painter. I use two or three brushes to do a painting usually. I have dozens of paint brushes. It's what we do, isn't it?
Hi Andy, greetings from suny Malaysia 🇲🇾. Great review of numerous wood burning stoves. I have a couple of them in my collection already but having bought a Firebox stove a few months back, this is now my go to as it is so flexible with wood, wood pellets, soild fuel tablets and an alcohol burner inside on the firesticks. Yes the steel one is a bit heavy with all the accessories but it's definitely my favourite 👍. ATVB and stay safe 😷
Thank you very much for the video. I have two of the stoves that you showed. I use lump charcoal in mine 🔥🔥🔥
I really like my PicoGrill. Expensive but ridiculously light and gives a great burn. I have a few other stoves, but this is a permanent fixture in my backpack now. Nice succinct, informative vid mate, atb, Andy
Thanks for sharing Andy. I love my pico stove, burns really well and just doesn’t take up any room or add weight 👍🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Cheers
Dean
Hi great video, the cheap SS folding stove at 5.11, a simple mod is to remove the 2 centre hinge pins, make another 2 longer hinge (L shaped) pins from a metal coat hanger, drill 2 holes in the ash pan. push the pins through into the ash pan. Also cut some mesh / grill to a tight size to fit on top of the existing internal grill, the result is a very sturdy stove. EWM as you might have seen also reviewed a very cheap stove + table recently which you might want to take a look at. Cheers barneey
Thanks for the review! The PicoGrill looks like a good design. Good point about gasify stoves, that they burn through wood too fast and hard to maintain fire.
I got the unigear wood stove and I got it for a bugout scenario i figured people that use a propane stove will run out and with wood burning stove you can use the elements around you. When we had that coronavirus pandemic I hurried up and bought my bugout gear items 😀 great video mate..
IMO the best camp stove is a rock fire ring, with a fire inside it. nothing beats what we find on the earth. :)
You clearly car camp.
Thank you for the review Kent.
For me, the bushbox seems the best choice by far. I own the XL titanium, and the only drawback is the price.
The pico might be a fallback for emergencies, or as you said, you got it in the backpack all the time because it is so lightweight. GOOD!
Anyway, cooking is more than fiddling a pan on a razorblade like clashing steel sheet. No way! My 4ct.
Great reviews. I bought the Wild Stoves Woodgas Campstove - it's brilliant. And yes, I do need to feed it about every10 mins but its sturdy, easy to put together and gives out amazing heat. cheers
Great review Andy.
I bought myself a ‘slot together’ Lixada stove to,as my first stove.
Proper pita!
In the end,I cut all the tabs off and hinged it all together with a length of cut up piano hinge.
It’s not bad now.
Regards.
So many stoves.....so much to cook! Love it.
Really like the look of the Pico stove & will defo get one at some point. Hopefully there will be a UK importer soon that may bring its cost down.Great video, thanks for sharing. Atb Andy.
I think you would love the Qiwiz Firefly. This stove is insanely light (76g) and you can shut the hole for the sticks, what I really like.
Nice review video Andy 👍.I'm a eby. I make my own stoves, re-cycling coffee cans. The same as the wood stove, made a millaty amo boxes, Thank you Simon.
Hey take a look at seige stoves they have a set of titanium cross bars for the top and bottom of any can. These cross bars turn any size can into a stove.
I got onto a stove buying kick a few years back and the one I like the most is the Emberlit FireAnt. I have one in all my kits now.
Small enough to store anywhere, will use wood, solid fuel tabs, or accepts an alcohol stove.
I thought I was over my stove obsession, but your video has made me want to try a couple more.
Not a bad thing, I guess. 😉
Thanks for this video. 👍🏼👍🏼
Back when Emberlit just came out, I got 1 of the original Emberlit stoves. I have never gotten around to using it. Guess I need to dig it out and give it a shot.
I got it because the guy who designed snd sales them was on z survival forum I was on, so I got 1 of his stoves.
Well-paced presentation of a lot of product and information!
Thank you James
My Pico stove came today quickly from Switzerland and it's as good as you say. Thanks for the recommendation 👍
that pico stove is interesting but I would be afraid of it breaking with how thin that metal is.
Would also be pretty fun with that brew kit if you were stuck on a highway in the winter due to traffic or whatever and while everyone else is just stuck in their cars you get out set up a little wood stove and make yourself coffee.
And I thought I had a stove addiction! Lol. I have 5” Firebox, the nano and the Scout, great stoves, however lately I’ve been drawn to the Picogrill because is so light weight, I have the 85, but I suggest you try the other models that you can use as fire pits as well, you won’t regret it. I have the 320 and the 760. The 760 I use mainly as a fire pit, I have put fairly good size pieces of wood, including Ash and Oak and haven’t had any warping issues. Thanks for the video.👍🏻
Stovetastic 👍 Nice selection there Andy... loving the pico
The inventor of the firebox stove thought of everything
Thanks for all informations and share
This is a great comparison video. I ever saw.
Great stove reviews Andy. this was a enjoyable and informative video. I prefer my Firebox i own quite a few and found them the best i have done everything from big dinners, to breakfast to a quick hot meal and tea on the side of a mountain deep in backcountry and the firebox has held up. I have baked alot from peach cobbler to a 3 layer cake. I have burned wood, pellets and even briquets and had a 14" dutch oven on it and never had any issues. Cheers.
How does the Bush Box look to you?
@@idanceforpennies281 I havent tried it as of yet but it looks like a really solid stove and could stand up to my adventures. I feel its compares very favorably to the firebox. Its something i will try out very soon.
You should check out the new firebox modular, looks so neat, just expensive
That picogrill fire pit one does look very good. Might be one I'll be looking at over the popup pit once I see you review it
I believe it's the Bushcraft Essentials bushbox LF (Large folding) , not XF. The bushbox XL (steel version) is great, very robust, both are easy to set up and fold away, but the XL a bit heavy
great review though.

I have one of the Chinese box stoves. Got it recently. Used it a handful of times with a kerosene jet coil burner inside (haven’t used it with wood yet). They do seem rickety. The top grate can be slid off if you aren’t careful moving the pot. Mine came completely wrapped in blue protective membrane, but the membrane was placed before they built the stove. So the membrane was under the rivets, latches, and hinges and was impossible to entirely removed before use. The stove works, but I really don’t like the top grate. It’s not fastened down in any way and just sits atop.
I didn’t get any extra pins for the Trangia burner.
My recommendation is to buy the stove because it’s cheap, but then modify it to suit you.
Thanks for your info i was just about to buy the wrong stove
I've just bought a Temu stove - the "budget" one that is more "rickety" than the Firebox. You've been spoiled, you snob! Lol.
Some of us have to do this on a budget, and for me, it will do what I need it to do. It's also a step up from a tiny snap open solid fuel block army stove, but a step down from the larger and heavier butane single ring camping stove, which I use when I'm with my car. I'm a disabled, so I struggle to walk far now anyway, but this wood burning one is more sustainable than a gas stove.
The pico is so light and puts out some serious heat. It’s hard to argue against it being the best backpacking UL stove. And I use one all the time. But if I’m in a canoe, boat or truck, the titanium firebox, the king of stoves, is my favorite. The most versatile stove on the market.
Nice stove addiction as I have one too.I noticed you didn't have the Wils Stove as a comparison 😉
nice video, well presented and informative. well done.
Great collection
Excellent Andy!
Very nice brother.
Peace from Texas
So I have four questions. Which one would you pick to work well 99% of the time? Which one produces the least smoke? Which one is the most quiet? And which one is the easiest to use (least work with feeding and lighting)?
You should have a stove museum in your house haha 🤣
"We Need to talk about wood stoves" ... by the thumbnail it seems that they are Taking Over 😂
Good comparison video, I have three wood burners so far, a SS angry eyes from onetigris which I really love, a SS gasification stove and my favorite is the boundless voyage gasification stove. The boundless voyage Ti folding stove is on the way and I'm guessing it will become my new favorite, addictive little stoves that are fun to use.
@@andrelaschet3957 German descent here, and over here it's abbreviation is ss, my grandfather and my dad had to live through mistrust because of their blood and my dad often had to defend himself. The abbreviation didn't bother him so I'm sorry it bothers you but no.
Nice collection 🔥. Looking forward to some FireBox Baking videos. I’ve had my FireBox stove’s for a few years & picked up the 16 cm pot & bake set around Christmas time. Still haven’t tried it because it’s still very much winter here 🇨🇦. But I have tried the bread pans in the kitchen oven, tip bake with them at home a few times because they will stick. I did season the pans but still had trouble getting the bread out.
Try this; butter the pan - _real_ butter. Then flour it.
Интересует все облегченное для походов с детьми семьями.
Thanks for sharing 👍🙋🏻♀️
The Quesha Decathlon stove is a secondary burn gasifier type stove BTW
Great video.
I've just got the Evil Eye in titanium. Not used it yet but looking forward to doing so. It's replacing a cheap Chinese micro wood burner of similar design but to small.
Giving that one to my daughter to use on summer garden camps.
I also use a Kelly Kettle with the Hobo stove. Cracking bit of kit
Love my twig stoves!!
