Kombuis 2.0 Rocket Stove By Arnuad 

Yes, it is heavy for its size so having a conveyance would be almost essential. It is very efficient though. Thanks for commenting Lonnie

Yes, a bit heavy to carry very far. Thanks for commenting

Right on. It should last many lifetimes. Thanks for commenting

Glad you liked it. Thanks for commenting

Yes, car camping or other conveyance but not a hiking stove. Thanks for commenting

Yes, better than a lot of smaller stoves. Thanks for commenting

I have wanted to try an EcoZoom or similar for a while. Thanks for commenting

Right on. Compact and lightweight. Thanks for commenting

Thanks for commenting

I agree. Arnaud's FireTower is more of a backpacking stove. If he gets to make it tin titanium, it will be even better. Thanks for commenting

I appreciate the help. Thanks for commenting

Most welcome. Thanks for commenting

Most welcome. Thanks for commenting

LOL...the hobo is still a fun stove to make and use. Thanks for commenting

Glad you liked it. Thanks for commenting

I agree. The insulation makes it easy to maintain and control the heat. Thanks for commenting

Most welcome. Thanks for commenting Terry

So many factors in answering your question. Wood type, diameter, length and dryness are a few variables. I can say it does not require as much feeding of firewood as many other stoves of a similar size. Plus, keeping a hot fire going is easier due to the insulated walls. Thanks for commenting

Thanks for commenting my friend

I understand what you are saying. Arnaud is considering a titanium stove at some point. Thanks for commenting

I have not had an issue with it functioning properly but it is heavy. I love the Picogrills but see them as something very different. Thanks for commenting

@@MarkYoungBushcraft for me the HOBO's Pico 85 and 239 offer anything the Kombius does, but on a cheaper, faster, lighter way. Tested a lot of wood rocket, hobo's and after burner stoves, in the end, the simple and reliable picogrill's did offer the best. I love the 239 and use it in winter times (summer we have most of time fire bans) or spring. They ignite fast, burn clean and the 239 is also a good source of heat in the winter.

I am sure it would cool in 20 minutes or less. Especially if it is cold outside. Thanks for commenting

I don't see it as being more weight efficient than a titanium Bushbuddy. It is quite heavy. What I do think is that it would be much easier to use in cold weather and maybe with damper wood. Also, not as much feeding of sticks. Thanks for commenting

You are right on Jim with relation to small rocket stoves. From my understanding, they work best when they are much larger, taller, well insulated and have larger cooking vessels on top. It is hard to transfer all that to a compact stove. Thanks for commenting

I have considered that before. I am not an engineer (I know one I will ask), but I am thinking the higher velocity created by the chimney effect might work against the gasification and secondary combustion principle. Thanks for commenting

Sorry to hear about this. I have had no word from the company that it is having issues

The Kombuis would be good but the Kelly Kettle would be better. Thanks for commenting

Yes, as long as you can get a fire going in it and protect it from a lot of rain. Thanks for commenting

I'm not hearing that on my end. Thanks for commenting

thank you

You are likely correct. Thanks for commenting

Kombuis is a Dutch word, meaning a ship's kitchen (galley), so I imagine it's pronounced the Dutch way with a Flemish accent. In Dutch, "ui" is a diphthong, meaning it's a sound that changes as you're pronouncing it. Within "kombuis" specifically, you'd use the pronunciation from "buis" (tube). Wiktionary has a decent rendition of "buis" in Dutch, and if you want to replicate it, what you could try as a native English speaker, is starting with the "u" from "underground", then pursing your lips like you're about to kiss someone, whilst maintaining the pitch of your vocal chords. It's a little different in Dutch and (presumably) many Flemish dialects (we don't actually purse our lips as it combines badly with the "s" that follows, causing a weird whistling sound), but this should get you pretty close.

why do you say that?

I could be wrong. I googled it for the correct pronunciation but I may not have copied it correctly. Thanks for commenting

It something to do with the ear...some people are just way better at it than i am
