- This is a review of my new purchase of the Kings premium pot belly stove. I've had it for a few weeks now but haven't had a chance to get out and use it due to lockdown #5 but got out for a 3 night camp and use it right through the camp.
Hope you enjoy and hopefully it helps you out if your thinking of getting one

I have a Wooshka, yeah I know much more expensive, but same concept. With the lid on and the door closed relying on the door vent only, make sure you place the fire closer to the front of the door where the vent is otherwise it will not burn as well and smoke heaps. Having the fire more to the front of the fire box (more toward the door) allows the fire box to exhaust the smoke properly and the fire to breath. Also means that you can't over pack it. Have a go, but that is what I have found has worked to have it burn well with the door closed and just using the door vent with it open.
Thanks I will give it a try.
Ppl on
Thanks for doing this review I didn't even know they had a new one out very informative see you inthe next video
Love the beanie mate! Good review, I can see myself tripping over those legs sticking out like that. Just subbed anyway ,nice channel
Yeah you might but can't say I've done it. Thanks for subscribing, greatly appreciated, new video coming out soon.
Just ordered myself one , cant wait to get it , how is yours holding up , great vid ty :)
Yep still going great, had it out on the weekend. Cooked my steak on it, boiled my water for cuppa and shower and kept me warm when it cooled down later in the evening.
Just love it.
Cant go past an OZpig. Ozzi made and has lots as addons. Not cheap though but very high quality. I have not had a good run with Kings products in the past.
I've had trouble with only one kings product and that was a fridge. I've had three of their firepits/stoves and still own two of them and they are still going strong.
Think you'll find Ozpig have been made in Thailand for some years. I'm all for Aussie made, but mine rusted real quick. Going for this Kings one soon...
Great review thanks
Good review mate. I am still not convinced there is any advantage to this over an open fire. Or even a standard firepit. But maybe that's another video for you. Catch ya soon.
Yeah I didn't buy it to replace an open fire as I also had that at this camp too, I just find it easier to cook on than the open fire. The big plus for me is some places I go don't allow open fires so this is perfect, it fits in my camper trailer and can be used when needed.
@@Gunnadoo So do you actually get away with using these somewhere like a caravan park?
Yes as it an enclosed fire.
@@Gunnadoo Ahh. Definitely would have been handy on my last trip then. 😀
Apart from the fact an open fire pit is banned in all national parks, and a lot of other camp areas, its a brilliant way to be portable, has sufficient heat, and an excelant variety to gas,
Add the water can to it and its done, but remember water continually boiled makes crap coffee,
Great vid thanks. When you mentioned Australian made stoves, which ones were you referring to? I was thinking OzPig but dunno if they’re still made here. Also do you have an option of the Wooshka sold at the big green shed?
No I've not heard of the Wooshka and the ozpig is available at bcf at the moment
Ozpig are made offshore, but still owned by an Australian Family business
Hey mate, would adjusting the flu vent help with the smoke?
As in the vents that adjust in the front door ?
Hmmm yeah they can help but really getting a good hot fire, keeping your wood small and at the front help the most.
Hi mate, where did you buy this in NZ? Enjoyed the vid, thanks heaps!
It's an Australian company mate, not sure if you can get it in NZ
@@Gunnadoo ah sweet as. Justlooking atthe price it's about $300nzd, yeah nah. Thanks again. Cheers

Try Kings website
@@Gunnadoo yeah I have that's the I got from their site. Might just save up and get a winnerwell one.
@@Gunnadoo just ordered myself one, your video convinced me. In terms of price, Kings is still better than other brands. Thanks again mate! Keep up the good vids, cheers.
Attach a 12v or battery powered bulge fan to the chimney and that will fire it up and will pull the smoke up the chimney🔥💨
.
Does this let off a lot of heat? If I had it under an awning would it be enough to keep me warm?
Yes absolutely, I cook on it, boil water on it and yes keep myself warm, it all depends on what kind of fire is in it, use good quality wood and keep the pieces small.
The grate inside fire box is to light and bend in time, make your own out of rep an come up a bit high stop smoking and breathe easier
Thanks, so far it hasn't been a problem for me yet.
Just bought one
Hope it works great for you.
How many cm high from ground mate ? And the bottom of the legs get hot ?
About 80/90cm to the top of the stove plate, no the legs don't get hot.
@@Gunnadoo thank you
So, that one would smoke-out a tent. That might be why it's so much cheaper
Well maybe, if you shut up the front it doesn't smoke at all. It really depends on the wood, where you place it inside the box and keep your wood small and it's not a problem.
@@Gunnadoo I'm wanting one for a little weekend shack, so it needs to seal out smoke and embers while I sleep.
Hmmm I'm not going to say absolutely yes cause if you buy 1 on that recommendation and it doesn't work then you'd be pisse off.
If like I said keep your wood small and the door shut it should work, if your wanting it to heat a cabin all night then that might be asking a bit, it will heat it but you will have to get up a fair bit to keep feeding wood into it that's all
@@Gunnadoo Yes, hopefully the initial warmth puts me out for the whole night, haha. They're so tiny, hey.
Flimsy looking things.They will rust out real quick
And yet it hasn't, still going strong. If you've only seen it on this video then your opinion is based on nothing.
Far too much wood in that fire, its choking. Your wood splits are far too big and theres not enough airflow, which is why its smoking too much
Possibly, but thats your opinion and I've got mine.
@@Gunnadoo my opinion is based on fact and many years of running an offset smoker.
Go back to my first reply.
@@Gunnadoo congratulations on your arrogance. It seems to have taken years of practice. I wont be following you.
Jesus's mate you've had your say what more do you want, I wasn't rude but you just wanted to keep commenting, honestly do you have one of these products.
Honestly if you don't want to follow me it really is your decision, I'm not really bothered.
My mate has one useless just smokes no matter what you do, has bad air flow design
Yep well mine worked fine so I think that your mate didn't know how to operate it properly.
Well my mate ended up buying a Winnerrwel nomad large sized camping stove and it is fantastic absolutely no smoke comming out the front and you can shut the front door and after 5 min of start up no smoke out of the flue. this unit burns kleen, i even put green lemmon tree leaves in and no smoke . And the burn intensity is so controlable He gave me the kings and i played around with it all afternoon with a wellder and a plasma cutter and the conclusion the flue is way to small in diameter , as in your video it smokes out of the top plate edges ,out the front and in every youtube review i have watched they all have the front door open because they are trying to reduce the smoke but it will still give everyone sitting around it streaming tears .And its failing to be an inclosed unit if you have to have the front door open or the lid off it for it to burn and it still produces too much smoke.@@Gunnadoo
Well good for him, hope he likes it, as I said I had no problem with mine.
You should have burnt it off before cooking on it 😳😖
