Thanks for the thorough review. Ended up purchasing this stove (latest version) over the BL 100 T4-A. The latter comes with a heat tube and ignition but after seeing your demo it seemed simplicity and more efficient design was the way to go, especially considering the fit of the Bulin 1.5 liter pot with heat exchanger and camping in a somewhat warmer climate.
I just received this set this past week - bought it on Aliexpress. Mine came with the piezo igniter. I haven't yet tried mine out. Wow; that boil time is impressive. I hope I get similar results. Enjoyed the demo; thanks!!!
@@AlexeyDnepr Original poster pointed out that air intake was on the bottom of stove, and advised caution to avoid betting dirt and debris from ground in the intake. He recommended some sort of base under the stove.
I have the older one and burnt the pipe. Replace it with a new one and fed it through one of the holes on the stand. Not a problem now and an easy fix.
@@charlesartificer2158 Sorry no. It doesn't have a pre-heat. The hose from the canister to the stove. Just fed it through one of the holes in the leg and problem solved / out of the stove and into the nearest leg.. But i have heard that they over heat. but i have never had that problem.
@@MrKeveo okay I guess that makes sense. When you said you burnt the pipe I was trying to figure out what the heck you were talking about man. Have a good night brother
About the older version: If you were'nt careful, you could melt the gas tube. PaleohikerMD talks about it. I'm waiting for my stove, that's on the way from China and looking reviews to confirm my decision. :D
I don't think you'll be disappointed. This stove works really well. Combine that with the pot that they specifically made for this. I can't find more efficient way to boil water quickly. Thanks for the comment and the views.
I have had no issues with it. I keep it in my truck with my other winter gear. Used it 5 or 6 times this last winter to make coffee from snow when I was out helping a buddy drop trees. It works well for me. I have not used it as much as my other stoves but as long as it is taken care of I see no reason it wont last for many years to come.
At least you put Fahrenheit and Celsius hate when people don’t don’t that as British I only really watch American and Canadian camping gear reviews and allways have to convert f to c
Very good detailed review. Thank you. I was tempted by this, but in the end I've stuck with the Bulin T4, very popular with fisher folk. It has a piezo igniter, (although I see from other comments, this may have been added to the BL100-B15). The main thing on the T4 is that it has a heat pipe running across the burner, allowing gas to be heated slightly. Really important in the colder weather using gas. Still tempted tho...😉
I hear you David, I've seen the Boolean T4. And being a fine connoisseur of camping cooking gear and stoves I have been very tempted. I am just holding off on buying more camping gear and stoves right now cuz I'm in the middle of working on my camper. And updating the truck. But I do love this stove and pot combo it really works very well. If it had some kind of a preheat tube like the T4 it would just be perfect but then again this thing gets stupid hot stupid fast so. Maybe after I get all this camper done I'll look at maybe getting another stove or three or four LOL. Thanks for the comment and views brother.
@@davidf4897 I have a theory about the stoves, see with out door guys it's usually stoves or some of their outdoor thing. With women nine times out of 10 its shoes. I just think this is one aspect of God's sense of humor. Thanks brother have a good one!
I love their products, I have same stove and pot, the kettle too and I’m not sure they still make it but there’s a canister insert for the Trangia system that is a fraction of cost of the Trangia insert and works just the same.
Nice! I have eyeballed their catalog few times but normally I don't use a Kettle so I can't justify buying one. I'll have to look into that trangia system, sounds interesting thanks for the info.
@@charlesartificer2158 I love cowboy coffee and I make it at home with their kettle, about 2+ minutes to boil all that water, the way the kettle is I don’t have to use any filter as long as I’m careful pouring, the grinds stay at the bottom.
@@carmenmartinez2882 nice, in the past when I've made Cowboy Coffee I usually do it in one of my outdoor pots. And as long as I'm very careful with the poor I can keep the grinds in the bottom. I can see the advantages using the kettle for that it's probably a lot easier to keep the grinds down there. Thanks for the reply brother you have a great night.
@@charlesartificer2158 lol, just for the record I’m a sister not a brother. One of the rare ones that mostly tent camp by herself for the last 40+ years, in fact I’m leaving today for 2 weeks with my dogs dry camping in the mountains. No problem though. Keep up the good reviews and the enthusiasm I enjoy it.
@charlesartificer2158 hahah i mean the chinese letters read bulin :) taking steps to form a forest would be its meaning. This stove is my absolute favorite. I think its the most versatile, practical stove ive used. Low, flat, extremely stable. 0 need for windscreen. Heat up those heat exchange pots blazing fast. i can use it for much larger cooking pots or pans, and i can even use this as a mini heater if necessary. Wish there was a screw-on iso butain canister version like msr reactor

It is a very impressive system for sure, shocked me. Its now part of my automotive emergency kit. Thanks for the view and comment!
Sorry no. It doesn't have a preheat. The input for the gas. i.e the hose.
I just (Jan 2024) picked up the stove AND pot for $32 from Amazon. It looks great. Thanks for the tip about air intakes
Nice. Glad you found the video helpful. Have a great night.
Any advice on air intakes?

My go to stove up mountains in winter , beats building stone supports for your tumbling jetboils any day ,
@joekelly9369 right on

so how is the condition of the stove now? any leaks or problem?

What can you say about their 2.1 liter saucepan? Will it fit this burner?
Nothing. I have never used or owned that saucepan.

@@charlesartificer2158 maybe eight inch pathfinder outdoor skillet
