Any of you guys tried one of these less than 20 quid. FC174D7F-B3BD-482A-B626-B129BF8299B1.jpeg
 
I was tempted a while ago, but then I remembered I had something I could already use and couldn't justify the purchase, although that doesn't stop me looking now and again. I'm sure someone here bought one and is equally happy with it.
 
Not tried one but it looks and sounds like it would do a good job.
Having a set of pocket bellows with it as well.....very handy.
Might pay to run over it with a file in places before use.....going by what is pointed out in the description :thumbsup:

A good clean and squirt of WD40 after use would help it along.

Well worth a punt:)
 



Here we go...…. :thumbsup:

Ok, again as per instructions.....
1/boils bloody fast...like the old uranium trick!! Way faster than gas or Trangia, but you can get enough wood in there to compare with the centre of the sun, when lit!
2/will need pliers for the door gets hot, surprise, surprise, but focusses the heat well
3/ the Dremel allowed fitting of the bottom plate, but why would you?
4/ for £20 it's a doer, and I think I'll use this...... 👍
Right...piccies.....

I knew someone had one! I did look the other day, but my googlefu was weak :oopsy: :rofl:
Thanks for digging it out lol. I'm looking again;)
 
:thumbsup: No worries

What I like, apart from it being cheap, was a larger firebox, and easy to feed whilst cooking. It's stable and packs away nicely, but a little bulkier than a honey stove. Comes with a bag. The bottom tray that I initially queried, keeps hot ash off the ground but also pushes more heat upwards.
