Thinnest Lightest Wood Stove - Pico Grill 85 / 239 

I have been using the 239 for a number of years. Works great and accommodates quite decent size pieces of wood ( bigger than most other wood/ twigstoves) .This means there is no need to feed the fire every few minutes. So after cooking my meal, I throw some big chunks of wood in it and keep using it as my campfire . Very happy with the 239 on canoe trips. For backpacking, I have recently purchased the picogrill 85. It performs well and is indeed very light but still quite a bit bigger than the Firebox Nano which I also also have. I still like my Firebox stoves but I find myself using my Picogrill 85 or 239 most of the time.

I’ve had mine for a few months and took it on a 3 weeks camping trip. I love it, very efficient.

Nice bit of kit, thanks for the review Andy. Having just bought a hot tent and stove, this purchase will have to go on to the ‘back burner’ for now. 🤭👍🏻. Paul

Thanks for sharing Andy , it is always nice to see new things* Such a clever design* As with all Swiss & Norwegian products , they are expensive.

I thought the price seemed very high until I went on ebay to cost up the stainless foil sheet to make one myself. Its about £30 for a 300x1000mm 0.3mm thick sheet. Once you account for the price of lazer cutting, or the cost of materials to acid etch it, plus the time to design it on CAD, it works out about the same to just buy one!

They are excellent for ultralite hiking and as emergency stoves

good review. nice to see them compared side-by-side. TBH though i bought the 239 a few weeks ago and have no second thoughts about it: large enough for a good sized fire, tough enough to stack a pile of bricks on (literally!), and wonderfully lightweight. i totally understand that it's not some people's cup of tea but i got tired of lugging my 1kg firebox around and this ticked all the boxes so ... ca-ching! "buy once, cry once" eh? 👍 👍

Really great piece of kit when all you need is a small fire!

Looks a great item Andy. Now on my Christmas list. Thanks.

Just ordered the 239 and the pot stand! Great review, thx!!

Looks like a cracking twig stove for bikecamping/hiking, but seems rather costly like you say for very thin gauge steel. Obviously paying a premium for it being lightweight.

got mine, used it once so far... loving it.

Hi Andy, thanks for the great video as always. Be well.

That’s a neat stove. Spam and eggs is a classic. Been eating that breakfast since I was a kid

Great review. They look amazing. A bit pricey for me at the moment but who knows what the future holds. Thank you. Keep them coming. 👍

Great video Andy very informative keep up the good work. X

Great review Andy. Looks like a good piece of kit

i am sold on this, this is bloody amazing.

What a great bit of kit, great review. I have a Bushbox Pocket which is great to use as well.

Little worried about cutting my hand on those things

Thank you for your reviews. This one and the comparaison of different wood stove make me decide to buy the 239. Most of the other stoves have a smaller surface and the equipment to heat the water is often less than 20 cm intended to heat the water for one or two people. As a family, it's interesting to directly heat 1.5 liters of water for tea and to make pasta in a 3 litres pot. The kettles, pots are often narrow: designed for narrow gas stoves. For this wide-hearth wood-burning stove, I think we should use wide pots and pans to go much faster and cook for many people. I see you are using a GSI 1l kettle on it. Which is the best for you to boil water on the 239 by optimizing the very large surface area.

Another excellent piece of equipment. Also another great review.

Genius little things! Thanks Andy 😁

I love these! I will be purchasing the bigger one!

Another great video Andy.

Awesome review Andy on the stove I'll put it on my Christmas list or ask the Mrs, thanks Andy for a fantastic review video and info cheers Andy and keep those amazing reviews videos coming cheers 👍👌

Thats incredibly thin and light weight Andy, being stainless it should last too. I like the idea Sandy

Just when I thought I didn't need another stove... 🤣 Cheers mate!

Very cool ! Lookin into them.

Very nice, Andy. 🙂👍

Their website also has a thin metal tray that can go underneath to catch stray embers. Could also be used as a mini chopping board I guess. Smart kit.

Great video, great stoves

Pricey but looks like a neat little stove Greetings from a Belgian bushcrafter

What a great little stove 👍

Two videos in a week! Hooray!

Very cool. Contemplating one. Likely get one and the bush box or whatever it's called, would be cool in titanium I agree. I am a bit worried about it longevity thou... probably nothing to worry about as long as it's cared for.

I'd like to see a titanium one too! I'm not sure if it'd warp after too long though. £60! They need a UK manufacturer/supplier please!

Fogão muito bom Parabéns 👍

Pretty slick!

Looks a really nice piece of kit Andy but it is rather expensive!!

Ótimo vídeo Parabéns muito bom isso 👍

Good stuff

Andy they look awesome, do you think they would be ok to keep a fire going in like a little fire pit not a huge fire just a small fire ticking over. Also have you tried it with charcoal for a bbq, really impressed. Price could be a factor but as you say if your packing a lot of gear for a canoe trip that could be ideal.

Hey Andy, try making a loco moco one day for breakfast. Hawaii's finest gift to world cuisine!

wonder if there's a ti version of the same stove outthere somewhere...

Deciding on camp stoves gets more difficult 'by the minute.'🙄 It IS a matter of 'HORSES FOR COURSES.' I am drawn to your new, slightly larger model for its increased heating capacity and for its ability to support heavier cookware. On the other hand, a Bushbox or similar twig stove will support a small fry pan, tea kettle, and so on.

As you Brits say, 'Crackin' vid!'

Would both with stand charoal bricks for long stand heat Andy?

Does anyone have a link where one of these can be bought in the UK?

Like those tiny condiment containers, what's their source?

Lightweight and sturdy, but also costly, but if it's your only wee burner and you use it a lot then you could potentially get your moneys worth, wonder how long they would last, cheers.

Long shot but where can you buy them from?

Are the edges sharp?

Unbelievably simple.

This is another of those "this design is *so* simple and obvious now I've seen it. Why didn't I think of this?" :D I'd like to see a smaller version - maybe 6" x 8". How thick is the steel? 1/2 mm?

When you say free are you meaning three?

I like the smaller one, what's the edges like? A cut finger waiting to happen or is it pretty good? 85g is nothing 👍

Super design, went to buy but it's waaaaaaaaaaay overpriced.

I’d really love to watch him cook eggs 🍳 🥚 on a Grill and not in a Frypan 😂

Really like it but the cost is just a bit too much for me, brilliant idea though.

Really good instructional video on the product - shame, like you say, it isn't in titanium! Thanks for putting the prices up - lots of youtubers never do that! The price compares pretty well with, say, a Honey Stove.

I love spam but cannot think why it is so expensive

👍👍👍

Piss take price point, 💯🤔

Batteries are not included 🤣 hahaha 😉

$25.99 on Amazon.

This thing costs almost 70 dollars in amazon...

Was it Spam or Bacon Grill , if Spam try the Bacon Grill its way much better

They are swiss made, no need to say they are expensive, that's a default

🎶SPAM SPAM SPAM SPAM!

Extortionate .way over priced

Sorry had spam recently is awful stuff bacons better and I'm not that picky with what I eat
