The Pocket Stove - Stainless Steel

  1 of 10

  Nice, simple, works well. I do suggest that you get used to assembling a few times before trying to use it.

  Bought as a present for my daughter who is 24 years old. In her words she said when used with the addition of a Trangia meths burner, it Works so well and you could cook a whole meal on this. It's better than any Scout gas stove I've ever used. Easy to assemble, very robust with good grade steel making it a very stable platform even with a large saucepan on it. So in summary, fantastic. For something so compact it works brilliantly and being used to using a Kelly Kettle I can imagine it being equally great when used with twigs as fuel. That's next on the list to try.

  So compact to pack away. Very easy to assemble and use for quick small fire to heat food or more importantly to get the kettle on.

  A good little stove, like the fact the tin it comes in is large enough for a ferro stick and some kindling/tinder too. Only negative is that because it slots together, rather than a hinged construction, it can be fiddly with wet/cold hands and can come apart if not sited properly.

  This was a present for my 6yr old granddaughter. She thought it was a toy till we were supping hot tea and eating bacon sarnies. A wee girl chuffed to bits.

  This is a good choice for lightweight camping.

  A great bit of kit - about as small as can be - I think it works best with a hexamine-wood combination for fuel. Actually, I bought it to work with a Trangia burner -and this works really well in the higher setting, but the front plate will not fit when the burner is placed in the lower postion - not much of a problem...It's a bugger to extinguish the flame as the simmering ring will not easily fit through the upper aperture - I have been able to utilize some small forceps to effect this but still a bit of a fiddle. Definitely a good bit of light-weight gear best used with hexy. Thanks.

  This stove is great. It makes having a fresh cuppa so easy, I use it with a Crusader cup, and it can boil water very quickly. Also because I am using twigs and other dry materials, I don't think it will take to long to save me the cost of the stove by saving on the fuel costs.

  A great little stove; fits together great and comes in its own little tin with enough room for two hexamine tablets and a fire steel. I bought this to use with my trangia burner and the burner fits into the stove like a glove. There are only two down sides I have come across so far: The first is that if you carry your Trangia with fuel already in it, it slops around a bit as you put it into the stove, easy enough to carry your burner empty and fill up just before you brew up though. The second problem is that once you start the burner you can't use the snuffer on the trangia as you don't have enough room to get it on the burner while it's in the stove. I intend to make a snuffer cap from tin foil and see if that will work. All in all I still think the pocket stove is a great bit of kit even with the problems I have found I would still recommend it. The makers of the stove have come up with a great idea and they would just have to go that little bit further to have the perfect Pocket stove.

  The Pocket Stove was well packaged and arrived promptly. It has been used three times, twice with the Trangia stove and once with a penny stove. It is a sturdy pot stand and good windshield used this way. It does have one con, it is fiddly to assemble in the cold or with gloves on. I like the size of it; it is perfect for a short hike or day trip, great for a quick brew on the trail. I expect it to work well with wood and am looking forward to trying it soon. Good product, reasonable price. Kevin, Ontario Canada.
