Good (if relatively) expensive idea.

Quite like the idea of this, even if it is a tad pricey for what it is

[Neil]

Pricey, yes but it does look well thought out and isn't the kind of thing that would wear out in twelve months.

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

I'm actually quite tempted to get one before summer

[nuphoria]

I've seen a few similar ideas online which have been hand made and pack down flat.

The principal is certainly a good one

This one is nice - Woodland Edge Fire Box

Ooh, that's nice too

No she shouldn't, as I've no back bone where omen are concerned

That does look like a fine set up though

Very nice that, but at 2kg it's not a system I'm going backpacking with.

It does look good although I'm always slightly wary of the idea of having to rely on a wood burning stove for hot food/drink, and if I'm taking a burner then I'll take the rest of the trangia too.  I can see it being backed up with some hexi bits though, that makes more sense to me.

You could always make you own kit for next to nothing - Hobo Cooker

[Hedge Kid]

Surely you could make that honey stove pretty cheaply yourself out of some sheet metal? It's not a complicated set up....but the price is a little outlandish! Gwaaan get all Blue Peter on it Mike 

Am I missing the point of the second one?  Without a stack pipe it's useless indoors (by which I mean in a shelter of some kind) and outside it does all the same things as a firepit 

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

I have made a similar set up before, but no where near as polished

[Spork, Lord of Lime Jello!]

Are you planning to do real cooking or just pot-noodle and beans sort of stuff?

Yeah just basic trail type food, as I'm a crap cook!

[Hedge Kid]

Then polish it

But then I'll not be able to use it on phillips screws

[Hedge Kid]

oh dear

[Neil]

But at least it won't rust

I have one of these - Clikstand

Apparently some users have successfully used them with twig fires.

[Mike, Lord of the Spammers!]

Not a bad price either

[Spork, Lord of Lime Jello!]

The one gripe I have about the Clikstand is that it is limited to a narrow range of pot sizes. I had to make an adapter to be able to use a smaller diameter pot than the stand could hold. Also if your pot is too large, you won't be able to use the windscreen.

I ended up buying a new .9L pot just because I didn't really have anything suitable to use with it.

[Pacu]

Thing i hate about stick fires is all the soot when you gotta pack up the stove, pots and pans. 

[Spork, Lord of Lime Jello!]

I hear that...but all that soot is handy when Ninjas attack and I have to go commando.

It's not my first reaction when faced with guys dressed in black trying to kill me.

But the soot cuts down on the shine while you sneak up behind them...

This is the stove i used to heat my lunch the last two years i worked. I still use it at the shooting range and on fishing trips. http://www.backpacking.net/makegear/stove2/index.html
