Bushbox XL Combination Kit

This is hands down my favourite stove todate. I purchased this stove to enable me to have a small contained fire when I was camping and where open fires were not permitted. This allowed me to cook my food and boil my water when and where necessary. The stove has many cool features but the one feature that stands out to me is its ability to pack down flat for easy packing inside my kit. This stove literally packs flat!!! It comes in a rugged, hard wearing canvas type envelope with a velcro seal to keep the contents secure. The stove then slides out with ease and in less than 20 seconds you have a fully assembled stove ready for action! Assembly is a simple affair, all you do is open the stove apart, drop the 2 internal flaps down inside "which is helped by gravity anyway!" And you are good to go! The stove is constructed of a high quality thick stainless steel and it feels VERY robust! The build quality feels bomb proof. From a design perspective it is near flawless. The stove features a large fuel window on the face of the stove which allows for fairly chunky pieces of wood to be used to fuel this stove which in turn means longer burn time and longer burning coals which are ideal for cooking on. Another design feature of this stove is the numerous slots in which you can position the two trivets you also get included in the package. These holes also aid in ventilation for the fuel to burn. The versatility of this stove is demonstrated further with the ability to use a alcohol stove with this setup, which is a great feature if you just want to get a quick brew on but can't be bothered with getting a fire going and just want to use the stove as a impromptu windscreen. To pack the stove away simply discard the ashes (when cool to the touch!) By tipping the stove upside down, which will then allow the ash pan and ventilation grill to fall out of place and then collapse the stove and pack away, simple!

This thing is the one. I havnt tried any other hobo stoves in fairness. But bought this to go in the bug out bag. Which it is rather weighty for. However it is to replace the trangia that I had in there. For which you cannot oporate without the weight of a bottle of meth also. So it does seem a logical trade off for me. I gave it a quick test in the garden. Thought I'd boil some water since that is the test that usually takes the longest. I chopped off 4 4" pieces of 2" diameter timber. Then used the kukri to split them into little thumb sized widths. So I probably had about 30 peices ready to go on as I wasnt sure how much fuel it would eat. I lit the fire with some wood chips, the laid about 7 of the peices of timer on top, which about filled the stove. I put a mess tin with water on. I didnt time it but it was really fast. So fast that there still wasnt enough space to add a new peice of timber before the water was roaring. The point being, not only was it incredibly fast, but also incredibly fuel efficient. In a bug out type situation while needing to be on the move for whatever reason. The ability to cook food or boil water in under 5 mins without much smoke and with literally a handful of sticks could be lifesaving. So I can more than justify the weight. The price? Well yeah that hurt a little but its done now. As a comparison I did see someone test this stoves boiling time and got 3 mins. When compared to the smaller pocket stove which the same person got 17 mins. So although the smaller of the two is a far more acceptable price and much lighter. I believe I would have regretted not spunking the extra on this one. Plus this one is self constructing, which is uber cool and again, fast.

I ordered this on late on a Monday afternoon and it arrived in the UK from Germany on Thursday morning via DHL standard (I think) delivery. The whole thing came packed in a neat little cardboard DHL/bushcraft essentials envelope, which makes a pleasant change from the usual box in a box, in a box situation often encountered when getting stuff delivered from the Amazon warehouses, which I find unnecessary. I haven't fired it up yet but I'm very impressed with the quality of the black pouch and the bushbox XL itself. The pouch is durable nylon, the sort of thing a good quality rucksack is made of, with good stitching and strong Velcro, there are two slots in the pouch, one for the box and one for the grill top. The finish of the box is great, and it feels reassuringly solid as you'd expect from stainless steel. It's not going to win any awards from the lightweight fraternity, although I believe there is a titanium option...? I was concerned that there may be sharp edges and burred metal from the manufacturing process, but not so, just nice crisp edges. It is very intuitive to assemble, I didn't read the instructions and had it all together in about five seconds, although admittedly I had watched several people do it on YouTube. I can't wait to get it fired up now, but having seen other reviews on here and on YouTube I have no reservations about it performing well. I may update this review later.

The media could not be loaded. I've started collecting some different gear so that I do some overlanding in my KRX 1000 side by side. I had my eye on the very popular Firebox but happened to come across a video on Youtube where someone was using a small Bushcraft Essentials stove. I poked around some more and came across the Bushbox XL.It didn't take me long to decide I had to have one! lol I did a small test burn on my deck and boiled some water in my Stanley Boil and Brew pot. The craftsmanship, attention to detail and the ease of use all make this a killer stove. I absolutely love it! Yes, it's a little pricey, but you'll know why when you see it up close and put your hands on it. The thing is beautiful!It also comes with the 2 bars and cooking grate that allow you to use it in many different ways. I ordered a Trangia stove to test with it later this week. It folds up quickly and into a very thin package and goes back into the nice case very easily. Highly recommend it for anyone car camping or overlanding.Do keep in mind it's not meant to be a "fire pit". While you can burn a lot of wood in it, you'll want to let the wood die down and create coals for cooking. Extended high heat can damage and warp the stainless steel. Hard to believe as beefy as this thing is.No regrets on this purchase and looking forward to using this excellent stove for years to come!

Die Bushbox XL ist ein Hobo, der bis ins kleinste Detail durchdacht ist.Pro: Hohe Funktionalität, hochwertige Verarbeitung, gelungenes Design. Toll ist das Scharniersystem, es ist kein fummeliges Zusammensetzen erforderlich, was mit kalten Händen oder bei Dunkelheit problematisch sein kann. Einfach ausklappen, fertig.Geliefert wird das Setup mit einer robusten, praktischen Kunststofftasche. So bleibt alles beisammen und kann für Trekking oder Bushcraft einfach verstaut werden.Praxistest: Mit dem Hobo wurde jetzt schon dutzendfach gekocht. Kaffee, Tee, Kakao sind ein Klacks, aber auch vollwertige Essen für 4 Personen sind zügig gemacht. Dann sollte aber genug Holz vorbereitet sein, denn der Kocher will ständig gefüttert werden. Der Zug ist klasse, auch feuchtes Holz wird anstandslos genommen, wenn er erst einmal läuft. Bisher hat sich nichts verzogen, die Scharniere funktionieren immer noch einwandfrei. Ich behandele das Teil gelegentlich mit Ballistol, um eine lange Lebensdauer zu gewährleisten.Neutral: Ich habe die Stahlvariante gekauft, um das Ding leichter bei meiner Frau durchzubringen („Was, so teuer? Muss es unbedingt das sein?“). Das wiegt natürlich einiges, was für Trekking durchaus relevant ist. Mittlerweile hätte meine Holde sicher auch die Titanvariante akzeptiert, weil sie erkannt hat, dass das Ding einfach der beste Hobo auf dem Markt und jeden Cent wert ist. Hohe Qualität hat eben ihren Preis.Kontra: Gibt es einfach nicht.Fazit: In meiner Ausrüstung ist das ein absolutes Lieblingsteil, vielleicht vergleichbar z.B. mit meiner Silky Bigboy. Es gibt viele gute Werkzeuge und Ausrüstungsteile, aber manchmal gibt es Teile, die sind so überzeugend herausragend, dass man nie wieder etwas anderes benutzen möchte. So etwas ist diese Bushbox!Empfehlung: Trekker investieren vielleicht besser gleich in die Titanvariante, ihr ärgert euch sonst später wie ich. Für den gelegentlichen Gebrauch oder bei Dauergebrauch, wo es auf Gewicht nicht unbedingt ankommt, ist die Stahlvariante aber absolut ausreichend und eben auch deutlich preiswerter.PS: Nebenbei unterstützt ihr deutsche Qualitätsprodukte und sichert Arbeitsplätze.

Il Kit bushbox XL è un oggetto davvero utilissimo da portare nelle nostre uscite outdoor o bushcraft. Il tutto realizzato in acciaio, molto semplice da aprire in quanto è già assemblato e grazie alle cerniere laterali si chiude/apre in un attimo. Sono già montate anche la base raccogli-cenere e la griglia su cui si poggerà la legna da bruciare. La bushbox XL pesa poco meno di 1 Kg (circa 800 gr). Il tutto custodito dentro una comoda sacca molto resistente dotata anche di sistema molle. L'ho utilizzata già molte volte, insieme ai modelli intermedio e piccolo e devo dire che in ogni situazione mi sono trovato benissimo.

livraison rapide, bien emballer .se met en oeuvre et se range tres facilement et rapidement .une fois vider des braises il refroidit en environ 5 a 8 minutes .lors de la premiere utilisation , il faut le laisser "bruler" pour detruire les residuts d'asinage eventuel.sinon rien a redire je le recomande sans aucune reserve .

Love it! Works great, exceptionally well made and definitely saved a lot of room in my pack. Keep in mind if you dont over fill it to the point that its a campfire it will last you with very minimal warp. Dont be one of those types in the videos!
