Hallo Mark, i am really surprised. You are the first UA-camr who shows this. Nobody in germany made a video. Respect. I am a big friend von Bushcraft Essentials XL. And i need the new XXL. Thank you very much for showing. Best regards from germany. Sven.
Actually there are two persons in Germany whom we sent a preview version. We just give them the opportunity to be the first ones to make a review, it is up to them if they do a review or not.

It’s a beast for sure. I don’t have any need for something like this, at least not right now, but I can really see it being useful for some. Like there are a lot of places, a little out of town that you can bbq and stuff, but no real bonfires. I think you could get away with enjoying a little fire with one of these. Good for people who can’t really get away. And I would imagine for a car camping stove, because of its size, it would be the least finicky of all the stoves to keep going. Plus you could do two pots at once.
I sometimes use the Trangia gas stove inside the BushBox XL, mounted on round tent pegs with the connection hose going through the feeding hole . Works a treat.
I'm back from the Appalachian Trail. Like many (well, most), I didn't complete my thruhike, but unlike most, an injury to my knee as a result of a slip and fall sent me home for medical evaluation. An MRI showed a meniscus torn in two places resulting in instability of the knee and likely furthering of the damage, or a potentially fatal fall if I returned to the Trail. So, at 1,075 miles, just shy of half way, I am back home, limping around with a sore knee despite a cortisone injection a month ago. I have some binge watching of your channel to do to catch up. Good to "see" you again, Mark! God bless you and your family! 🙏 P.s. my modified titanium tower stove went home around mile 550 to save weight, but it worked well whenever I decided to gather up sticks and light it up. The Firebox XXL would make a great car or canoe camping firepit! 👍
@MarkYoungBushcraft Thanks, Mark. I don't know what I expected when I set out to hike the AT in Georgia on March 31st. As I look back on the experience I am satisfied with what I accomplished, since I turned 70 in the process and managed to hike over 400 of the 1,075 with plantar fasciitis. An injury can happen to anyone. I did the best I could, and I didn't give up. This winter, I will sharpen my bushcraft skills, do some hot tent hammock camping in the local woods, and test some recipes. Maybe I can do a thruhike in a couple of years, if my general health holds up. Today, I think that a nice, quiet walk in the woods will suffice. Take care. ✌️
Actually this is precisely one of the uses we had in mind when we developed the stove - so many people (among them many vanlifers) had been asking for something bigger than our other stoves which can also be used as a firepit.
When the XL titanium was launched I thought it had all the attributes that i'd ever wanted, so I ordered one direct from Germany. It wasn't cheap and it has warped a bit but it is, without doubt my favourite woodstove and still works perfectly. This XXL, on the other hand, just doesn't appeal. Ease of deployment and stowage, weight, delay for correct cooking conditions, almost certainly cost, are all not as good as the XL Ti. If I want a campfire I'll build a natural one, especially as a campfire will need the same prerequisites as the XXL, ie availability of fuel, no open fire ban in place, suitable ground. I don't think I'd enjoy putting one together in the dark, particularly if I only had a torch, although I suppose I could use a car's headlights. The XL Ti was and remains, a true masterpiece and worth the money. It's the goldilocks size stove for me. Versatility, speed of set up from bag to burning in easily less than a minute. XXL? OK in a niche market perhaps but raises too many doubts in my mind. I'll see how it goes but I won't be an early buyer. 10/10 to BE for the effort though.
Excellent video, as always a perfect explanation which will really help people to use the XXL Campfire. Thank you very much for the great video, your incredible expertise and your great way of explaining things!
@@NM-bs4ckwith this large of a stove, you likely wouldn't want a Ti model even if they made one. Too much surface area, you'd see some decent warping with Ti (Ti warps much more than Stainless), unless it was made twice as thick.
Thank you Mark, a very nice explanation of this campfire, i actually use the XL and the UL Version, that´s now what i am waiting for, a campfire version, using as a campfire at carcamping oder canoetouring maybe with the motorbike and also as a stove for my muurikka plate, it seems perfect, let´s wait for the price of this hellburner! It seems the right size for me and my uses! Greetings
It's not hinged anymore?...I kinda hoped for the non-fiddly hinge folddown style because it could still be used as a firepitt Keep up these informative uploads coming!
BE has a few stoves in their lineup that are not hinged. Takes a minute to assemble. I would think the manufacturing cost would go up a lot on a hinged model. Maybe they will come up with a large hinged on in the future. Thanks for commenting
Thank you for this review, Sir !! It is not available on the link you provided in the description. I would love to have it to do a small campfire in our "urban setting" (we live in Chicago) in our backyard. It helps teach the kids about campfire safety, preparation, maintenance, etc. We have even used it for a "Parking Lot Campout" with our Boy Scouts, (due to our limited budgets of the families, and the lack of popcorn and pizza sales, due to inflation and other social issues), where we improvise to give the kids (and their family members) a chance to have a different experience than the urban issues of gangs, crime, violence, etc. I have used the Firebox G2 (Stainless Steel version), but it is small, built for no more than just a few meals or a pot of water, at a time. Obviously, depending on the size of the pot, I can get about 3 - 6 cups of hot chocolate for the kids, and a few 500-700ml cups of coffee (or tea) for the adults. If there is a way that we could get one, we would love to get it to use it in the fall and winter of Chicago, to test it before taking it out with the Scouts. Thank you in advance. Keep up the great work !!!
Job well done Mark! I would perhaps take the dive for one of those stoves, but it is still a wee bit pricey! If you were to try and break the cost down, it would be around 25 bucks per panel and yet somehow, I think that BushCraft Essentials will eventually get the cost of manufacturing down some. The laser cutting process machinery as I am sure is rather costly to own, operate and maintain. I just hope that they do get some of the cost down, because I would surely like to own one someday
I know they struggled with this stove trying to get it right. They ended up with thicker (heavier) steel to lessen the warping. That added to the cost as well. Thanks for commenting
Thank you for the very extensive review as always of this new stove. I like very much my BushBox XL, it is VERY WELL made but a bit small for a campfire compare to the interesting size of this one. It will be great to compare it with the Petromax FB1 and/or FB2 «plug in» stoves. Did you made review of those ones? They look great! What a strange name for these wood stoves, the french name is a bit more convenient (enfichable), they seem easier to assemble (XL is perfect for that) and they seem lighters (!). As you mention clearly, both are not for the backpack... but may be for the pulka! In winter, it is not bad to have a bit more heat ;-)
Thanks for sharing the video, and very well explained, the details you provide also helps with buying.i have the xl, but will probably buy one for car camping. Enjoyed the video.
G'day Mark, absolutely outstanding IMO !!!!!!!. It's the do everything job in a flat pack. Plenty of room and hose access for the Blade 2, as a remote example; BIG + for my MO !!!!! So many height adjustment options, feed in or enclosed front, facilitates just about any sized pot/pan, (and yep why not a dutch oven), legs to keep it off the bare ground, air flow, ash tray, the list goes on. Love the ability, should you need to move it hot, ......... and just for the sake of a coupla 45 deg notches 👍👍👍👍👍 I dont think its too fiddly to assemble and reversal of the panels is a fantastic tip to combat warpage, if in fact it does actually become troublesome. And of course, if a ground/pit fire is undesirable, or perhaps out of the question, .......the "bush telly" is still in play ; ) We'll see how we go price wise, but I dont mind paying a fair dollar for such a compelling piece of kit. Many thanks for the benefit of your experience with it mate and great design job Detlef !!!!!. Cheers Duke. P.S. Detlef, if you're watching. Not sure if its economically/tooling viable, but with the open front feed in panel ..... a hinged or sliding door would be good ..... so you dont need to change, or even need the extra panel at all, to close it up,...... especially when already hot. ....... just a thought. Cheers Duke.
Hi Duke, as you already mentioned, it's a question of economic viability. We are making all our stoves in Germany to high quality and environmental standards - starting a new product with a 6-digit investment is not an option for a relatively small company like us. However, if the XXL sells well, we might be able to offer such a variant. Cheers Detlev
@@bushcraftessentials Reply much appreciated Detlev, so good when designers listen and take the time to respond to feedback. And fair enough mate, it would be quite a significant production change/addition I'd imagine, not to mention R&D activity. In any case, I'm sure you got the message, I'm totally enamored with it as is. I sincerely hope business goes well for you into the future and I reckon you, (and Mark), have sold one more unit at the very least ; ) Cheers Duke.
Could they add a closed lid with an adapter for chimney pipe? It would be great to use it as a small stove for a hot tent! Perhaps you may suggest this to them.
I don't think it would be safe enough if the chimney was directly attached as the airflow would be affected. Having said that, if you could make something that looks a range hood that sits up off the stove may work. Thanks for commenting
I think Mark is right here. As much as we would love to have such a nice accessory, we don't think it is safe enough (plus there'd be a diameter issue). The hood solution may be dangerous as well... We'd rather make a tent stove at some point.
That's definitely a beast. Every once and a while at work, I come across window screens that are metal not nylon. If it can handle the heat, a piece of the metal screen might work for the pellets. ✌️🇺🇸🇨🇦✌️
I will likely see what I can do with pellets. The issue will be getting them closer to the top. I may be able to place a screen across the the trivets through the side slots. Thanks for commenting
