Portable Folding Camping Wood Stove for Outdoor Cooking, Lightweight Stainless Steel Wood Burning Camp Stove with Grill for Backpacking BBQ Picnic, Large

The media could not be loaded. Recently we were without power for a number of hours, and decided to give our newly purchased stove a go, it did not disappoint.We were looking for a light, compact, easily packable stove that would burn common branches that could be found anywhere, campmax was chosen over other stoves because of it's one piece construction.It was easy to light with just the minimal amount of tinder (newspaper/small twigs), once started we just needed to supply the sticks. The construction is solid, and steady once the base grate was emplaced in its brackets. As the fire matured, it burned very clean, and created a nice bed of coals. We used a 8" iron skillet weighting about 12 lbs, and a steel pot at roughly the same weight, and experienced no rocking or bending of the stove. After use and cooled I didn't notice any warpage of the stove and it went right back into the provided pouch. We were also delighted at how quickly the heat dissipated and allowed me to pack it up in short order. If you are looking to cook a 3 course meal on a camp stove, campmax isn't for you. This stove is strictly a packable stove, that will not take up room in your backpack, or your get home bag, and it worked as advertised. I think my next test will be how it can handle a cast iron dutch oven.

This is perfect for my bug-out kit. It's lightweight enough that if you keep everything else as small as possible, you won't notice it in your bag. And the physical size is ideal, both for storing and for using. Can't beat it.You'll be able to either boil some water in a kettle, or grill two hotdogs, or grill one hamburger, at a time with this stove. So this may not be the best "grill" for multiple people. But it would do for making coffee for a group from a kettle.It's a survival tool, not a luxury item, but it does have quality build in my opinion.

The media could not be loaded. Sturdy, (door handle is a little flimsy), easy set up, easy clean up. Makes a great compact fire pit too. I would suggest modifying the grill so there is height for air flow between a pan and stove. I had to lift the pan several times to keep it from smothering the fire. Opening the door on a windy day wasn’t a good option to keep the flames going. This is best used to grill directly on the grates, yet a grease fire would be my concern with hamburgers. Hot dogs would be ok… maybe veggies in a tin foil. This six inch pan was too large to cook on without raising the pan. All in all I really like this little stove and made metal risers to accommodate my pan that fit nicely inside the stove when I put it away in its carrying case. Keep something with it to open and close the door and remove the grates when adding to your twigs, sticks, etc… obviously this gets very hot with refilling.

A FOLDING WOOD STOVE

I like this simplicity of setting it up and the ease of cleaning just wipe it off and put it back in the zipper carrier pack nice looking too

Perfect for making some breakfast when the power goes out. Quick set up don't forget to take off all the plastic

This was a great choice. It's got a large size grill for your pans and or food to rest. It came perfectly clean after our first outing. Even the Scoutmaster praised us for our choice.

I have always cooked over the fire at the ring on the grate. This stove brings you up off the ground while cooking. It cooks really well. Does better if wood fits in stove instead of hanging out. Little smokies and French toast was for breakfast that morning at camp. This is now, a favorite camping tool!
