Firebox Nano
on: June 10, 2017, 12:06:03 AM
Thought I'd test my firebox nano with wood burning and also go for my fire badge as well.

Mora knife for making the feather sticks, ferro rod and striker to light them


Wood all ready to go as well

Small sticks to get it going after the feather sticks are lit


And the main pile to burn which is old bits of fence wood


I used the ferro rod to light a feather stick with a bit of fatwood dust to help it as I'm not to good at doing fine feather yet, then dropped it onto the feathers in the stove, and added the small sticks straight away.



Once it got going I fed it the main wood from both the top and side slots




Once it was going properly I put the kettle on for a brew


While it was heating I processed the remaining wood down smaller to feed it easier


10 mins later a nice fruit tea for me to settle my stomach and a coffee for me mum


Seeing as I had plenty of wood left I just fed it until I ran out




The coals didn't last long. 30 mins after this and they had burnt away and the stove was cool enough to handle


Not bad for my first go with it using wood. I learned a few things I need to do for next time. Sharpen my crappy axe for one.

 :tu: I was quite impressed by the Nano stove when I saw it. A very well thought out bit of kit.

It's turned out to be a great little stove. I just need the trangia gas burner and I'll have all heating methods covered.  I already have the esbit fuel tablet plate so I need a few of those to.

The heat has given the stainless steel a lovely colour now. I couldn't get it glowing though.

I guess the wood was pine because I just found the bottom of my kettle is coated in sticky tar. It's soaking in a degreaser to remove it at the mo.

I wonder if a trangia will produce enough heat to make char cloth  :think: I'll find out when it stops raining

Nice piece of kit you got there, I was afraid for the table(?) there for a bit but it seems to have survived.

Best way of removing pine tar is the opposite of degreaser, wipe it of with cooking oil or other kind of fat. Works wonders, old housewives' trick.

Thank you  :tu:

The creator of the firebox stove uses the same table in quite a few of his videos so I figured it would be OK.

Thanks for the tip  :tu: I'll try that next time.
