Talking about cooking in the tents section ,,,,,,,, bring back the spammer, all is forgiven.


I'm off to the general chat to bring "Guess the Film Image" and "Guess the film Quote" back. Time for some fun on the forum

I'm wondering about getting a small stove for when I go with my little boy in a little tent. Our trailer tent has a kitchen thing on the back and we have a campingsz camp chef but it seems a bit OTT for a 'simpler' camping experience.

So any ideas for a small stable funky stove for use on standard uk campsites so not wild camping.

just get the cheap suitcase ones, they can be picked up dirt cheap, or even those folding ones that have recently influxed the camping stores

We had one of those flat square ones with the aerosol sized gas cartridge inside but it was a bit wussy and not very cool.

I really like the look of that Bushbuddy.

But Donnelly you called it a Bushbuddy Wood Burning gas stove

Is the Gas bit a slip or was you checking if we was paying attention ????

Hi Wayne,

I should have wrote - Wood-Gas burning stove, so a bit of both!

The stove is probably the best wood burning stove I have ever come across, and I've tried a few. I've copied a bit of text from elsewhere to try and explain it in better words than I could -

The basic Bushbuddy design is very clever, you will see a series of holes around the base of the stove. Air is sucked in through these holes and drawn up between the walls of the stove and the inner chamber which heats during use. As the stove warms the air flow becomes hotter and this hot air is then expelled through a second set of holes which sit on the inside of the top section of the stove. Warm air is then blown across the top of the fire. This almost seems to turbo charge the fire, indeed, on several occasions – when using the stove in warm weather – I’ve heard a kind of turbo woosh as the air being sucked through the stove reaches its optimum temperature.

The first photo shows the holes, internally and externally. Also, you only need about half the amount of wood shown to boil a kettle of fry sausages.

Photo 2 shows the stove in full flow, you may be able to just make out the lit gas in the two middle holes. Not the best shot to describe it, I must try next time I out to capture it properly.

And the last photo shows the end result Note how much of the wood pile is still available.

Oi . they are not wussy & they are very cool ! I've had mine for 6 years now, i use about one cannister for the weekend, and it fits nicely under the car seat. I'm thinking of getting another one so that i can do a bit more serious cooking.

Someone mentioned not so long ago that B&M are doing them at discount at min.... About £6! . Those bushbuddies are great and you can also make them too. Here's how.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1J_fc8Z6UpM. I can understand why the guy had to make one coz looks like he spent all his cash on tattoo's!!! . And then theres a Hobo stove which is much the same but just use a bigger can.

Pretty cool if your on a budget or concerned about weight (like me... )
