Hi Dan. In this video the pot is a cheap 1.2L from eBay - but it does a great job and is robust too. Latterly I have had great success with a 750mm titanium pot which cuts down on weight and space but it is still possible to cook a meal (for one). Thanks for the comment too 🙂👍

Hi Giles, I tried this easy feed fire today. I must admit I certainly made life easier in terms of processing fuel. And A little hotter as you say due to the frame. I think I'll have another go. Do you still do this or have you gone back to the normal size wood fuel? Neil

Hi Neil, sorry for such a late reply. I hope you’re finding the ‘easy feed fire’ useful. I certainly do - use it most of the time now. Have also found a cheaper style twig box stove in which longer sticks can be fed into - an even smaller version of the easy feed fire but requiring almost constant feeding unfortunately. Thanks for the comment and happy camping to you 🔥🏕️👍

Hi Neil - hoping you are well. Yeah, I have had some success with the Chinese ‘af artisan’ which is just a titanium exact copy of the Lixada stainless steel. (These are the 128mm square base X 162mm height). The stainless steel version seems better quality but is, of course, heavier. Sadly they do need a lot of tending/feeding like all ‘box stoves’ - but longish sticks can be fed into the rather large feeding holes. Cheers - happy camping 🏕️👍

@gilesbinyon
@gilesbinyon 3 ай бұрын
Hello again Neil. Yeah, the fire guard is just thin aluminium plate very similar the windshield/reflector. I made the 2 sheets approximately the same size as a windshield panel so they pack in the same little pouch. So about 25cm by 8cm. Cut them a little longer to allow to bend the ends around an M5 bolt or heavy nail. Then you can thread a cut-down barbecue skewer (20cm) through each end to secure to the ground. You can spray them green if you like too (stove paint for the heat). Cheers 🔥🏕️

Hey Neil thx for watching the vids. Yeah, the frame for the sticks is just a couple pcs of 28cm long, M5 threaded bar. One end of each is filed to a blunt point and also a couple of wing-nuts screwed on each too. The cross support pc is a 20cm bit of strap spring steel (any steel bar reasonably stiff would do). A couple of 6mm slots close to each end allows the threaded bar to attach and fix by tightening the wing-nuts 😊👍🔥🏕️
