With so many pots, pans and stoves being produced by manufacturers around the world exclusively for their own systems, the end user is often left frustrated at having to buy a certain cooker to work with a certain stove which is fired by a certain fuel… The Honey Stove has been designed to act as a link between them all, being the only multi-fuel, multi-cooker, multi-pot stove in the world, designed and manufactured right here in the UK.

The Honey Stove allows you to use the cooking pot and fuel of your choice, while giving you the additional option of a simple wood-burning stove, thus making it flexible enough to match the time of year and the activity you are undertaking.

Though it works primarily as a wood-burning stove, it is flexible enough to work with other cooking fuels, such as esbit/hexamine tablets, night light candles, any make of meths stove, Greenheat Fuel Cells and even the Trangia gas burner.

Any pot can be used with this stove, whether circular, like our Zebra Billy Cans, rectangular or even kidney-shaped, like the popular Crusader Cup. You also have the option to cook directly on the grills, making bannock, toast, croissants, grilled meat/fish, sausages and bacon a one-cooking system process.

The stove system can be completely disassembled and packed flat, making it easy to store in your rucksack. It will also fit flat inside the traditional military-style mess tin.

The stove pack consists of 9 pieces, made up of side panels, a fire door, a base grill, a mid grill and a top grill. There are a number of different ways to configure the setup of the stove, and you do not need to use all of the parts all of the time! Just select the multi-grill arrangement that best suits your chosen cooking method.

The Honey Stove works best with small pieces of dried wood no thicker than a pencil; two fistfuls of these twigs will boil 500 ml of water in around 8-10 minutes. This is an impressive statistic, one that Ray put to the test and was very pleased to see ring true.

Details:

  • Made from 0.7 mm Stainless Steel
  • Supplied in Velcro-sealed bag, large enough to also hold your tinder
  • Dimensions when packed flat: 15 cm x 15 cm x 1 cm
  • Total weight: 340 g

In an hexagonal configuration using a Trangia meths burner and the middle grill (the one with the hole designed for this type of burner) it took 11 (eleven) minutes to produce a rolling boil for 1/2 litre of water in a crusader cup. This was slightly disappointing. Weather was windy (14mph) so I put it down to that. Otherwise, the very small pack size and the fact this can be used as a wood burning stove were my reasons for purchase. Can't wait to use it for the Camp Craft course later this year and will be trying various other pans on it to make sure I have a set-up suitable for providing a good meal. The panels do warp, like it states in the instructions and this will increase your pack size by a few millimetres.

Just used it. It's really easy to setup, light weight. The different setup configurations are really handy. Once setup it is a very strong structure. Most convenient is the flat pack configuration ideal for expeditions, takes no space at all. Works extremely well with both wood and fuel tabs. For me this is the best kit in its category I every bought. I would recommend it to any one. It's a MUST HAVE!

Makes your fire enclosed - therefore ok to have a fire where it would otherwise be frowned upon. As it is quite small you need to feed it fuel regularly and cannot leave it alone. Which may or may not be an issue. I love sitting there playing with it.

I put this piece of kit to use while camping in the New Forest last weekend and I have to say I fell in love with in straight away. It's small and compact when packed and slips nicely in to the lid pouch of the British Army Bergen or the Karrimor back packs. On the first night I used birch bark and a magnesium fire stick to get the stove going and simply fed small thin twigs through the convenient fire door at the front to fuel the fire. It boiled a billy can of water in around 10 mins and kept me warm for a few more hours after. The second night heavy rain kept me inside my tent so I switched to petrol tabs to fuel the stove. Though wood would have done, I didn't fancy a tent full of smoke. This is a superb piece of kit, one which I will carry with me on any journey. If you're looking for a camping / hiking stove, spend the money and get this one!

A very handy little device. Slightly tricky to assemble once the pieces have warped slightly after it's initial use but still very good. I use it more for a small fire in the evenings and for this it's ideal.

This little stove is a godsend. A little tricky at first to assemble, but worth every penny. I managed to boil enough water to cook two pouches of wet army ration packs in one litre of water in just over 16 minutes without a lid on the pot.
