We are delighted to be stocking this superb new high-quality, lightweight, compact - and ingenious - woodgas stove. Wood-gas stoves create conditions where primary air partially combusts wood gas, then inject pre-heated air into the top of the combustion chamber to mix with the remaining smoke, resulting in a very hot, clean burn and quick and easy lighting. This high-performance woodgas stove offers all the benefits you would expect: easy to light, very economical and clean-burning. Its three-part design means that you benefit from the stability of a footprint as large as some larger models (like the WoodGas LE and XL), as well as the space-saving compactness of its slightly smaller brothers (like the Bushbuddy and Bushcooker). This is a 'passive-flow' woodgas stove, meaning the secondary air holes are powered by convection rather than batteries and a fan - using the principle that hot air rises. The images clearly show the hot wood gases meeting the pre-heated air, appear

Sleek but low efficiency
This stove was originally designed and sold by a company in UK. But this particular seller is in US so that shipping time is 2-3 days.pro:The design of this stove is sleek. You can definitely put all the stove parts into a msr stowaway pot 775ml with rooms to spare for a foldable spork, matches, kindlings, a lighter and a Swedish fire steel.Comparing with other wood gas stoves, it is significantly lighter.con:The heat/BTU is low. I bought a bag of wood pellet for heating from homedepot. The flame is magnificent, with swirls looks like a small tornado. Without a pot on top, the flame could easily reach 10 inches high. However, it could only bring 700ml water to boil in 10-15 minutes, much slower than those models with a battery fan which costs a mere 6-8 munites.The other side of the coin is that with a full load of wood pellet, you are looking at 1 full hour of flame. At exactly 1 hour time, the flame's gone, with roughly 1-2 oz of charcoal glowing. With other fan powered models, you will have to add fuel constantly.With ambient temperature 60 F, you can make 2 pot (700ml) of rice in 1 load of fuel within 1 hour.You will see the soot from this stove on the bottom of your pot, unlike those battery fan models. The cleaning is still a pain.

Worth the money
A fantastic little stove, lights easy, burns hot, and cools quickly. The new pot stand could use some redesign as you cannot put anything that is skinny and to top heavy on the stove, like a 40oz Kleen Kanteen bottle. But the recommended 775ml MSR pot works quite nicely. The burn chamber is huge compared to other stove in its class which for me is a big plus. You can feed good sized material into it for longer cook times. Clean up is pretty easy, just tap, wipe, and go. You also have the added bonus of using a Alcohol stove, which works very well in opinion. I have found that if you leave the stove in its packed state and just flip over the pot stand to its correct position the alcohol stove works quite nicely, and it packs directly into the stove. Remember if you are the “love the nature” type, this stove will char the ground below so you may want to remove the sod and/or debris from below it before you start it up. if you are on the fence about this stove, go for it, you will not be disappointed in the performance.

not terrible, but definitely overpriced
This is a woodgas stove, not a gas stove like an MSR, so expect to spend a lot of time feeding the stove instead of preparing your food. Also, there's no simmer option. This stove in particular would be a good deal at around $20, but at the MSRP it's not worth your money. Go buy a cheaper tin can stove like the Bushwacker instead.Pros:- Collapses to fit inside an 750 mL MSR Stowaway pot.- Uses small sticks you can find nearby your campsite for fuel.- Cool woodgas flame jets.Cons:- The metal pot supports can't hold more than the weight of about 1 L of water without warping. You'll need to bring a trivet with you to support larger pots. Be aware of the additional weight this will add to your pack.- The bottom of the tinder box has holes in it for air circulation, but these clog after about 15 minutes of use. After this you need to constantly take the pot off the top of the stove and blow on it to keep the flame going.- Needs to be constantly fed fuel through the gap between the top of the stove and the bottom of the pot -- does not hold enough fuel to boil water without you adding more fuel.- Doesn't burn sticks much thicker than your pinkie finger into woodgas.

Nice!
Perfect for what I need (and want!). Packs inside an MSR 1.1 Liter Seagull cooking pot to create a very compact and easily packable cooking kit for day hikes or even overnight camping trips. The "purists" won't like the weight but I don't mind since I don't plan on hiking the Appalachian Trail from start to finish (Sadly, some of us have to hold down jobs... :) ). I also plan to use it for longer bike rides on the Silver Comet Trail and it's perfect for the bike bag. With this stove there's no reason to carry fuel, propane, butane or batteries - it uses biomatter from on site - dead limbs, pine cones, etc. So the bit of extra weight is more than offset by not carrying fuel.Regarding the seller - very fast shipping, arrived quickly, reasonably priced. Shipping at the present time was $4.87 so it is definitely NOT artificially inflated to create another profit center. I recommend Wild Stoves and the Wild Woodgas stove...Update: Three day camping trip over Labor Day weekend and used this little stove every day - Tried variations of wood pellets, dead-wood from around the campsite and apple wood (grilling supplies). Worked great with all three! Definitely a 5-star product for my kind of camping.

awesome stove!
This is a great little compact stove that can fit inside a pot to save space... plus you don't have to bring along fuel.. just find fuel.. unlimited supply when yer camping! You can bring some drier lint or some wax soaked cotton balls if you want some fuel starter to make sure fire starts on damp/wet wood on crappy days. But you will never run out of fuel in the forest! Brings water to a boil in less than 8 minutes - depending on size of pot of water and how much water is in it of course! Perhaps not as fast as some other fuel lightweight stoves.. but more dependable!! Can use it anywhere and for long periods of time. I bought a life sports aluminum wind screen w/ carrier for those windy days to assist with keeping heat around pot! (it's a bit on heavy side, but worth it if it is really windy). The wind would have a hard time putting out the fire in this baby, but the wind screen will help to heat pot up faster! overall great stove.. bigger than Solo woodgas stove by a bit... but this one will hold bigger pots and more wood... I own both! :) both are great.. this one is just bigger...
