Description
I purchased this stove to enable me to have a small contained fire when I was camping and where open fires were not permitted. The placement of slots to put the provided trivets in for adjusting height on spirit burners as well as metal containers for cooking/brewing is more than sufficient for any desired use. I have used metal Nalgene bottles,canteen cups, other brands of metal conatiners, Billy pot(Zebra) and pans. Honestly there wasn't much to dump out--the stove burns very thoroughly and leaves very little ash).
Also the first time I used the extended grill plate it warped so badly it made fitting the grill as described above impossible. It’s primarily a wood-burning stove but can also be used with gas, alcohol and as a multi-fuel burner. Boils 1ltr water in under 5 min, if proper bed of coals has been achieved and new fuel occasionally added. As with most things in life, there has to be a flipside and with the Bushbox, here’s what we’ve found.
But if you overdo it, then the extra barbeque plate that follows the set will be bent, the bottom (the legs) will be bent and possibly the walls themselves, this 'needs' to be fixed in future designs if Bushcraft-Essentials are interested in remaining masters in outdoor stove designs.
Likewise, a carabiner would have been better than a D-ring, although this can of course be easily added by yourself. I purchased the combination kit the bag is top quality cordura and the small grill plate is a really good addition, using the grill plate in the base of the stove allows you to use a stove full of wood pellet cat litter giving enough time to make a curry, this is great for car camping if you decide to carry some cat litter with you. If you overload it with fire or tinder, and by that i mean with wood that goes above its surface and does not match the size that keeps itself below its walls; Then chances are the stove will warp in the seemingly all too powerful heat.But most of our clients do not clean the XL at all - if operated according to the instructions it will not develop soot and will stay relatively clean. All in all, this is just a fantastic field kitchen that should suit everyone but the ultralight hikers. If you have overheated your box and the “legs” have warped too much, you can carefully bend them back. Apart from the weight the XL is an excellent product that would benefit from a second set of trivets as standard.
I enjoy going out at night and having a drink at the fire and listening to the peepers that surround me. The titanium Multifunctional Case offers robust and compact storage for your Bushbox XL, saving space in your pack while ensuring your outdoor kit stays perfectly clean. I am rarely in need of fast and furious cooking (except the initial brew up) so this presses all the buttons for me. Gladly gloves you use in the garden to soil in the dirt, or those that construction workers use, these are fodder for damage and will go into the fire for you, saving you the expensive outdoor gloves for you for their safer purpose.They said it was a manufacturing fault and sent out a new one which was received in a matter of days.
