This is why I love firebox. This man actually goes out and tests the heck out of the stuff he sells. He’s thoroughly tested the different wood setups, the different alcohol setups and even what types of fuel work best. He (or fans) invent new ways to use existing products (warming shelf for example). He has many videos showing his stuff in actual use, no one else in this market does these things.
I HAVE RECEIVED MY FIREBOX AND AM LOVING IT. IT DOES ALL I HAVE SEEN IN YOUR VIDEOS. I FEEL IT IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT TOOLS I HAVE EVER PURCHASED.
Steve I've had my firebox for about two weeks now and have used it lots for bacon and eggs,pork chops,chicken,beef tenderloin,hot dogs, camp fires. If your thinking of a G3 all I can say is good luck because the G2 is perfect !!! Al
The Firebox stove is a great way to make an efficient fire out of kindling sized sticks (the diameter of your finger). If you tried to get the same heating out of an open campfire with kindling you would need many times more wood to accomplish the same thing. Going to popular camping spots all of the larger pieces of wood have already been scavanged but tinder and kindling is often ignored because it does not make big ripping campfires. Also, the impact upon a camping site is minimal with a Firebox and the site restoration at the end of your visit is quick.
I have tried all of these methods and have reached the same conclusion. The Swedish Fire Torch method is certainly longer lasting, although stick fires can be the hottest. Pellets can be little finicky. You just have to learn what works best (same as with any fire setup). Interesting video as usual Steve. (Oh, liked and shared on FB!)
daughter: "Hey dad, whatcha watching?" me: "A dude boiling water." daughter: "Heh, no really, what are you watching so intently?" me: "Sports." daughter: "I knew it!"
that was great! Just received my 5"G2 today. Beautiful stove, quality through out. You folks over there in Utah are genuine American heroes in my book.
I really have to say, you've got something really amazing with the firebox!! Quality, durability, and longevity! Totally solid stove at a great price!! I'm getting the 5" stove with the leather sheath!!! Two thumbs up!!! 👍👍🇺🇸.
Steve I'm not sure I've seen a more versatile cooking system. These things are awesome! I've watched these and studied them online for a couple years or so now and have really enjoyed seeing all they can do! Love how you can turn the zebra pot on its side and bake! That would be so much fun for a family camping trip this next winter here in Florida. Liked and shared! Thanks for the great product!
I've been getting to know my nano this summer. Absolutely love it! I can't wait to cook with it on my Algonquin Park trip in August. Thanks for such great products, Steve.
Nice Study. It seems that different methods work well for different cooking requirements. I like the Swedish fire torches for grilling my steaks once the flame dies down. The adding wood by top or side feed might boil water faster. I want to try the wood pellets, but it seems to defeat the not needing to bring fuel along with you feature, which is my main reason for stick burning stoves.
I have watched a few of your videos just today, what a great innovative product, and your videos are very well done. I bought the Firebox last year and love it! Good job!
Steve, I "liked" your video and since I don't have a FB account, I went next door, rang the doorbell and told my neighbor all about the Fireboxstove. Also, my wife and I have agreed that if we EVER have another baby boy; we are going to name him.......STEVE!
Really nice test. Helpful and informative. I brought a Bushcraft Titanium wood stove when I first started backpacking. That stove cost me like $200. Then I found out I couldn’t use it in a lot situation in California mountains. I believe I will do more overland camping. I just placed an order yesterday on 13 items from your website, which included the overlanding table. I couldn’t get myself to buy another stove since the concept are similar. Maybe one of these days I will win one 😂. I have white gas, canister, alcohol, and solid fuel stoves. I gas I will just use them all so that I can cook multiple dishes at the same time, like Steve does. By the way love your goats and dogs. Of course your children are super cute.
Steve, this video is great. Keep up the good work! I use a Gen 1 Firebox and most often find myself using a combination of the large wood + top feed of smaller stuff to control heat as needed. I am curious to grind out a side feed port but the top feed technique has never failed me yet. Sven saw makes short work of the endless fuel supply here in PA.
This is just genius. Pure and simple. You know, I’ve been looking for great bushcraft options for staying warm and keeping a safer/LNT type fire, and this is just absolutely the ticket. I can’t think of any cons. You have to wait for it to cool to pack it. Wow. That’s the only con. That’s nothing. Perfect product.
@@fireboxstove how long is that sale going to last if you had to guess? I’m about to get a little extra money, and this is the first thing on my list to get. I have some buddies that are excited about it too. 👍🏻
Liked and Shared! As always another awesome demo of just how great these work! Keep the awesome content coming. I love that your the only person who will show and create videos of your own product and show that time and time and time again there is a reason your product should be ( and frankly is IMO ) the best product on the market. PS. The beard is looking quite great these days Steve! Keep the awesome content coming!
Look into the Winnerwell fire pits. They come in several sizes, fold flat and are a heavy gauge SS. I got the large one for use at home or car camping and I got the raised stand that is designed for their fire pits. I also got their SS backpacking stove. Both are well worth a look. I’m happy with my Firebox and the Winnerwell also. I think many of us have a bunch of various stoves, including our home made hobo stoves and IKEA stoves.
As a Canadian, I say this is the best backcountry setup I've seen. If I don't win, where can I buy this setup in Canada? Especially your modified Zebra Pot? Our 2016 resolution this year is to only buy high quality gear because you never regret it. Your Firebox Stove/Zebra Pot cooking/baking system is the best ! The bonus is your informative videos that never disappoint. A true fan!!!
I think the pellets are too dense dont have eniugh air in between. I dont use pellet heaters but the ones I've seen use a strong fan to move air through the unit.
I usually use pellets but i have a fire can that pulls the air through the pellets stronger. That makes all the difference, this stove designe ist just nur ideal for pellets. But you can make it work too with a few tricks
Saw this on Expedition Jonny's channel being used. I'm going to shake him down for his old one to make Promotional video's as we cook every night over a big dangerous fire on the off grid property. This stove looks amazing! Compact, small travel size, light weight, durable, easy to set up and use plus there's attachments for those that use Bottled LP. My wife wants me to build a brick fire stove for outside. Who's got time for that? 😁 Are these being sold on Bespoke?
Thanks! Yes it's a lot of fun! If you hurry you can get a good deal on it via Kickstarter here's a link www.kickstarter.com/projects/foldingfirebox/firebox-folding-chefs-knife?ref=3aoh9p&token=acaeb444
I just bought my first Firebox stove + accessories. I'll be trying it out for the first time this weekend. BTW, the stove isn't just practical, it's rugged, too. Liked & shared!
It's well deserved. Asking an off-topic question, I'd like to know what motivated you to make the Firebox? I haven't seen a video about your inspiration, but I'd like learn.
LOL...no problem, we've all been there. What I've done recently is mix the wood pellets with hamster wood bedding. The shavings of the hamster bedding keep the flame on the wood pellets. That might be a good test for you!!
I enjoyed this comparison. The side feed and top feed method work the best for a controlled and consistent fire. Good use of fuel too. Both methods will allow me time to cook a few meal items. However, the Swedish fire method is a much more long lasting fire for cooking. It will allow me time to toast a few marshmallows for s'mores! Thanks, Steve.
The Folding Firebox stove is, in my opinion, the best all around stove available. Quality and performance are the hallmarks of this exceptional design. Video liked and shared, Steve.
Awesome lil Video . I told The Wife " look Hun, Steve doesn't do videos like this" was good to see a Firebox used in a Tough Situation so to say. I still Have My Titanium Nano!! My Favorite stove and last, but I lost My Billy Can when We lost everything.....would love to Have another one. We are getting a 95 land cruiser in 4 Days and I been waiting so long to finally be able to do some of what You do 👍. God Bless ❤️🇺🇲
I love these tests :) I'm looking forward to my new purchase and many outings of fun with the g2 Firebox and the Nano - should be arriving MONDAY. So stoked - thanks again, Steve!!!
thanks for sharing the different fuel loads.It appears that the side load and the fire torch method are the safest way of maintaing an even fire and hearty coals
I have the Gen 1 and make up excuses to use it all the time because... (controlled) fire is fun! Took it camping up in Maine Memorial Day weekend and it worked flawlessly when cooking -- using fire torches, sticks, charcoal and an alcohol stove. You videos inspire me to try different techniques and meals. Thanks!
"Fire is fun!" Me too! I'm glad to hear you're using the firebox several different ways all on the same trip and I'm very glad to hear that you're having fun!
Wood pellets seem very susceptible to gaining moisture from damp air. Once a bit damp, they burn with noticeably less heat being produced. That makes them "finicky." It's also a bit tougher to get air flowing thru a dense pile of pellets.
Great demonstration of great products. I start with top feed twigs and when that's going, I side feed. Still want to try the Swedish torch method. I love this stuff! 👍
Thanks hog driver 88, once you learn how the fire responds to different methods you can to match your method to what you're trying to accomplish. An example would be the swedish torch would be awesome for a long boil. Makes it a lot of fun 👍👌😎
Heya Steve, Awesome example of how to keep a fire going efficiently with five different methods. I personally like tending a fire so I perfer the side feed method. Perfer the Swedish method for long burns, great for baking and long cooking times. My kids will enjoy your stoves for years to come. Steve DeLaTorre Retired USAF
Your video's are always very entertaining. It is very clear that you really care about your business and family! I would also say too that you stove looks to be very convenient to use!
A Swede here.. ;) Might be ordering your stove.. Seems like a nifty thing. I already have a Triangia kitchen and a gas stove but this one seems cool and easy to find fuel for since if i walk 5 meters outside my door i have a whole forest with sticks and trees ;)
That whole forest of trees will definitely come in handy with this stove! I am glad you like what you see, you will not be disappointed with your stove. Thank you for commenting and watching!
I'm always surprised by how many people use their fireboxes in their backyards, but I guess it makes sense, it's a fun new way to cook and sometimes it's hard to get away with busy schedules.
I do like this video that demonstrates the effort required to feed the stick fires as opposed to the Swedish stick method which looks like set and forget, handy to know so you can do other camp things while waiting for the water to boil.
Yes! The only drawback to the Fire torch is that it runs hot for a while, but that doesn't matter if you're boiling water! When cooking, you can just take your pan off and on the heat till it settles. Thanks!
My wife and I enjoy your vids, keep them coming. You caught our attention with your camping video where you made chocolate chip cookies. We're probably late on your contest, maybe nextime.
Happy New Year. I just ordered and paid for one. I have been checking all of the different small wood combo stoves. This Firebox setup is just what I need. I will be doing some motorcycle trips this upcoming year and this will be used and I am sure will provide me with a needed way to cook on the trips.
I got a Firebox G2 5" (stainless steel) finally. It's made in USA, very much well-thought, sturdy, charming, versatile and wind proof. I love it ! Usually I can carry only one stove with my motorcycle. I am sure this is the one for me especially for a long trip, because it's so versatile and wind proof. I will bring it to my next long camp touring. I liked how Swedish fire torch is good for grilling, so I will challenge split lumber Swedish torch with Firebox, although I have a concern whether my Japanese nata axe will make it. Greetings from Japan.
@@fireboxstove Hello, I used Firebox G2 in two camp sites already. I used it to keep warm, cook and make coffee with Bialetti Moka Express 3cup. I enjoyed camping night time with the Firebox in front of me so much !! I tried top feed, side feed and Swedish fire torch at night, and Trangia alcohol burner in the morning. I like its versatility, flexibility, adjustable intake air volume functionality with ash pan, stress-free and no-warping very much. It suits my camping use. Truely great gear !!!!
Would love to try and demo the Zebra pot. I'm still testing the Firebox G2 for longevity. So far I love it! Small aluminum table is amazing and very useful as well.
