Imagine a camp stove that can boil water, fry eggs, cook meals and still fold flat in to the size of a DVD case. Imagine a camp stove that you need not carry any fuel to use. Imagine a study, 18 gauge stainless steel camp stove that weighs less than 2 pounds and can produce heat as well as a cooking source. It’s available and it’s the Firebox Folding Stove.
This versatile camp stove can use many types of fuel to create a heat source and cooking source that is efficient and effective. It sets up in seconds (the flat steel panels open like a book) ready to produce fire for whatever your needs are.
Field testing:
The Firebox was easy to assemble, it literally unfolded into position and the steel sticks were inserted easily. We used several different types of available firestarters as fuel, what we found on the ground such as sticks, twigs (even though not fully dried), dried leaves, wood chips, pine cones, walnuts and paper. We also used homemade firestarters (cotton balls with petroleum jelly) and used trail debris as fuel. The fire started and caught quickly and due to the cut out vents and design of the panels, the air flow kept the fire engaged and effective. We were able to heat water to boiling in only minutes in a large (8-cup) metal container as well as dry eggs in a 12-inch steel skillet. Due to the small size of the Firebox, we were skeptical about using larger cooking receptacles, but because of the variable positions available using the firesticks, even the large skillets and pans heated fast and even enough to cook well.
