I’ve recently bought a fire box gen 1 with a great leather pouch (top notch bill) from the gentleman we all know as @1 shot willie.
The leather work is spot on. Craftsmanship at its finest
I have to admit I never fancied the idea of one...can’t see past an open fire and am a sticker with things I like. Creature of habit if you will.... so when bill was selling his I thought to myself let’s see what all the hype is about so I okay’d it with the boss and stuck a bid on it and as it happens bill offered me a deal I couldn’t refuse ( must have been my birthday ) thanks again mucker. Right am rambling... to the point when it got here (quickly by the ways) I couldn’t resist taking it out for a burn.
And I have to admit I agree with all the hype! Cracking little thing. Easy to light, directs the heat to where it should be
also I like how compact it is. But what impressed me the most is how easy it was to use ie put together. I wanted to test myself so I didn’t watch any vids on how to assemble. It’s as simple as socks and to be honest it would need to be with me lol. When I like something I like it and I like it there was a little worry when the rain came down and me and the kids run under the nearest tree that it would go out. Happily it didn’t! And we still got a cup of tea.
The cup in the middle is mine
Didn’t time the boil but it was quick! All in all it’s its braw and I like my new toy
if I had to say something negative about it then I would say it could be a little bigger but it’s not! an issue.
Till the next outing lol
