Thank you!! It is a real cool little gadget this... the whole set I had here all fits into the 420ml pot and in my pocket too. So I can walk round my local woods still able to have a hot drink but don't need a rucksack 👌🏻😁 Thanks for watching and have a great weekend 😃👍🏻
That's a fun stove. A few months ago, I used my mini-EDC stove to bake cornbread to go with my dinner. Used the Snow Peak 750 pot with a Fat Daddio's 3"x3" anodized aluminum cake pan and one Esbit tablet. I placed the Snow Peak directly on the stove frame for stability and to concentrate heat and used the stove's crossbars as the spacer between the pot and the cake pan to avoid burning the bottom. I also used a Brien Green Esbit fuel tray to slow the burn of the fuel. I got 18 minutes of gentle burn and a perfectly cooked hefty cornbread muffin. Note -- this was indoors, so I wasn't dealing with wind or outside temperatures. The FireDragon fuel is quite expensive in the U.S. and not generally available. I've tested it before and found its spreading flame to be inefficient, much of it burning outside the stove instead of under the cooking vessel -- especially if a small pot or cup is used. I'm better able to concentrate the Esbit-cube flame and capture more of its heat. Perhaps a deeper vessel to hold the FireDragon fuel would allow similar concentration of the flame. I need to try that. I'm currently looking at key-chain alcohol burners that some have made from mini-flashlights or aluminum or stainless-steel pill containers. Some designs seem to achieve good results with a minimum of fuel, and such a burner should fit well in the mini-EDC. I'm thinking of doing a two- to three-day trip this summer using just the mini-EDC with Esbit and alcohol to see if I can make it work with just-add-hot-water dehydrated meals.
Hi Woz 👋🏻 It sure is pal... love this little stove and it technically can heat water with twigs using a little practice, but you have to be a patient person lol. Figured this way out and thought id share 😁👍🏻 Glad you liked it, hope you're well and have a great rest of your week 😊 ATB ... Chris ✌🏼
No worries Gus glad you enjoyed it and hope it may be of use at some point. Not to bad thanks getting there, had my MRI results so at least I know how to hopefully progress further now 👍🏻👍🏻 Thanks for watching as always mate 😃 🙏🏼 Oh and hope you are well yourself 😊👍🏻
Hi JP 👋🏻 Ahh THANKS SO MUCH mate!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼 Really glad you liked it and thank you very much for the kind words 😊😊👍🏻 Thanks for watching!! ATB... Chris ✌🏼 😁
Hi! 👋🏻 Thank you so much for clicking on my video 🙏🏼 It is a cool little stove and very light too, the whole set up (apart from the water) all fits into the cup and can fit in my pocket if I didnt fancy carrying a pack on a very local walk but still wanted to relax and use a stove. Glad you liked it... stay safe 😊 ATB... Chris
Great little workaround mate love these fire dragon gel blocks. That's a really efficient way of using this little baby instead of as a twig stove 👊🏽😎🙌🏽 Great Work! Keep it up
Thanks Rob!! Yeah me too 🔥 they work so good, was trying to figure out a way to use them in this stove without the flammable liquid just oozing out the bottom. Ended up coming up with this and thought id share. Whole set fits into the 420ml pot too and in my pocket so can have a wonder locally and dont need to bother with a rucksack 😁 Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching mate 🙏🏼😃😊 ATB... Chris ✌🏼
5 minute boil! What's not to like! I can't imagine using something that small as a twigstove. That said, I have a firebox nano, which is only a bit bigger than that, and I've successfully boiled water and cooked on it with wood. Fairly hard work but it does the job. Great vid mate! Good job working out best way to use this awesome little stove! 👍
Hi mate!! Yeah it is quite a small little thing... you can technically boil water with this using twigs, but takes a bit of practice like you said and does take a bit of time. Good to know it works though still as an actual 'survival stove'. Thanks so much!! Really glad you enjoyed it and hope the little tip may come into use one day 👍🏻👍🏻 ATB... Chris ✌🏼
It really is a cool little gadget this! Whole set fits in the 420ml pot too so can just have that in my pocket if I want a brew when on a little walk and dont need a rucksack 👌🏻👍🏻 Thanks for watching and leaving me a comment as always 😊😊
You should mate!! All links are in the description, NOT affiliate just simple links to the items 👍🏻👍🏻 Real cool little gadget I think and works wonders with the Firedragon fuel 🔥🔥 Thanks for watching dude 🙏🏼💯
haha funny. I also tried a tealight bowl, but from a large one. After that I got aluminum cans of different sizes and squeezed the Firedragon in there. Also works great. Great video, I have to try the refilling thing. Many greetings
Hahaha... Brilliant!!! 👏🏻👏🏻 I actually used the bottom of a RedBull can for a larger version of this stove and put the whole Firedragon cube in. Great we had similar ideas 👍🏻 Thank you kindly for watching 🙏🏼 Enjoy the rest of your weekend 😁
Thats my trusty titanium foldable spoon that goes everywhere, real light weight and folds up small top 😁👌🏻 Thank you for clicking on the video and watching 🙏🏼🙏🏼
very cool !! Thanks i'm going to try the tabs to see if it boils my espresso faster on my next adventure!! i'll let you know !! there will be. video go sho !! thanks brother for the tips
Cool!! I really hope it works for you... if you do use the FireDragon cubes then make sure you have that tealight candle base (or similar) to catch the liquid. Definitely let me know I really hope it works out for you! 🙏🏼🙏🏼 Thanks so much for watching I appreciate it very much 👊🏻 Take care 👍🏻👍🏻 Chris 😊

@@DaveCollierCamping Yeah they're awesome!! I have 4 other wood burner stoves too, bigger sizes than this obviously haha. Love them! Cook a great steak on there 🤤
When I saw you holding the little stove I thought it would not be very useful. I'm happy you proved me wrong. That stove & fuel is awesome. Now I have to buy one soon. Great video.
Hi! 👋🏻 Thanks for watching 🙏🏼😃 It really is a deceiving little stove, small but when used the right way it can be very effective and very reliable when using the Firedragon fuel. You can physically heat water with sticks but it takes a long time and some practice compared to a larger wood burner stove. There are links for it and the fuel cubes in the description if you wanted to have a look 😃👍🏻👍🏻 Thank you for clicking on the video I am happy you enjoyed it 😊😊👍🏻👍🏻 ATB... Chris ✌🏼
Good evening Chris, what a little beauty! Big thumbs up from us on anything than can help knock up a brew in a pinch, what a top bit of kit and great words of advise and tips. Thanks for this one Chris, loved the Punisher patch on your rucksack too. Have a great evening, Ceri and Kat ☕ ❤ 🗺 🎄 😀
Hi Ceri & Kat 👋🏻 Haha yeah it is a cool little gadget and especially using it with the Firedragon fuel works a wonder! Haha yeah I love the Punisher 😝 had space for a patch, saw it and was like ohhhh yeahhh I gotta get that 😆😂 Thanks for watching as always both 💚💚😊😊👍🏻👍🏻 Chris ✌🏼
Hi Joe! Thanks for watching as always mate 🙏🏼 Yeah this is a cool little stove when used right and very reliable with the Firedragon fuel, whole set all fits into the 420ml pot too and in my pocket so I can have a brew when out if I dont have a rucksack 👌🏻 ATB mate enjoy your week... Chris ✌🏼
What an absolutely brilliant idea!!! Very well done to you for thinking of this, the company should give you something for showing people the stove can perform great if used right! Brilliant edit too loved it 👏🏻
Cheers mate!! Was pretty pleased with it to be fair haha performs very well indeed with the Firedragon cubes. That would be great if they did but dont think they will unfortunately. If I can help some people on here though and people enjoyed my video thats reward enough for me 😊😊💯 Thanks for watching as always really appreciate all your time taken 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Cheers pal... Ive actually got 7 wood burner stoves and always just use wood. But saw so many people on here 'moaning' about this EDC one saying its pointless etc so thought id do this as a bit of fun to show you can be inventive and easily get water boiled. Everything I had all fits into the mug and in my pocket so nice pocket sized brew maker. You can still get a boil using twigs if you have some experience in correct stacking and feed but it does take a bit of time. Anyway thank you for watching and hope you enjoyed it 😊👍🏻🍻
Hi Peter thanks mate!! Yes these Firedragon fuel blocks are superb in any weather, sun, rain, snow makes no difference. Top performance every time 👌🏻👌🏻 Thanks mate was great to be out even for only a short walk. This whole cookset all fits into the 420ml pot and in my pocket too so didnt even need a rucksack 😁👍🏻👍🏻
Hi Chris! That is such a cute little gadget! We want one!😊👍 Great tip on using the dragon fuel tablets, we just ordered some of those on amazon, as we already have a bush box mini, so think that tip would work in that too😊👍. Great to see you out in the woods again🥳 we really enjoyed this video, big like from us😊🤩👍 take care,Shell and Pete
Hi Shell & Pete!! Yeah it is an awesome little EDC stove this and the whole cookset there all fits into the 420ml pot and in my pocket so can still have a wonder round the woods without a rucksack but still have a brew or something if I want one. Firedragon fuel is absolutely awesome 👌🏻 👏🏻 would definitely work, just remember to control the cube as it melts or flammable liquid will come out the bottom if there are holes 👍🏻 Thanks for watching glad you enjoyed it 😁😁👍🏻👍🏻🍻 ATB...

Hi Paul!! Yeah it is an awesome little stove, especially using it right. I mean you can heat water up using sticks but takes a bit of practice and dont expect to have a drink in a hurry lol. Firedragon fuel is awesome. Thanks for watching as always dude 😁🔥🔥🏕🏕👍🏻
Hey mate hope you are well and recovering quickly. Great video. I’ve not seen that stove before. Do you think it works better than the bcb stove? The flames certainly seem more controlled
Hi Kevin!! Yeah it is a cool little stove to be fair, there are some little holes in the top of the panels so although it tries to centralise the heat they do let parts of flame come out to hit all round the bottom of the pot. But certainly keeping it in more of a controlled manner. I wouldn't say better, I think they're both great (bcb stove usually boils fast too when not in those extra windy conditions like my other video) but its lighter, much smaller to pack and carry and really does the job well when used right, flames do seem a bit more controlled. You can physically heat water up with sticks but dont takes a bit of practice and dont expect it to do it quick lol. But with the Firedragon fuel then its brilliant I think. The whole cookset I had there all fits into that 420ml pot and in my pocket so didnt even need to carry a rucksack 👍🏻👍🏻 Links in description if you wanted one... NOT affiliate just simple links 😊 Thanks for watching mate 🙏🏼🍻
Wow that is a very small stove!! Great idea using the fuel cube, I’m going to have to order some of them I think! I love bushcraft essentials kit but I could imagine trying to boil water with just twigs in that tiny stove could be A LOT of effort 😂 great video, really informative and excellently put together. Congrats on 1000 subs as well!!! 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks Alex!! Yeah it is a tiny little stove lol, you can technically still boil water with twigs etc but takes a bit of practice and you have to be very patient for sure 😆 For the sake of carrying one of these Firedragon fuel cubes round and an empty tealight candle holder in your pot this way is much better 💯 Thanks so much again mate 🙏🏼🙏🏼 ATB buddy and I hope you and your loved ones have a wonderful Christmas 🎄 Chris 👍🏻

Been using the fire dragon gell for a while, its good but it definitely has a strong smell, and it is sooty, makes a lot of mess on pots although does clean off fairly easy.
Hey! Thanks for watching 😊😊 Sorry you have had bad experience with the DragonFuel gell leaving soot on your pots. The marks on my pot were from when I had used it over a wood fire before. Using the fuel blocks with this stove and pot or with my BCB stove there is never anything to wipe off. Even if my tissue is a bit damp from drying the inside of the pot and I wipe the outside ive not had any black marks. Very strange its sooty for you it shouldn't be doing that as there are no fumes or toxins to come from it. All 100% natural materials and the blocks are tested for and by the MoD so they shouldnt leave any smells or signatures. Is this the gell you're using and not the fuel blocks in this video? As that may be different to use I dont know, have never used the gell. But have used these fuel blocks for years and haven't had any soot marks 🤔 has stumped me that lol. Glad you can get it off easy in any case 👍🏻 ATB... Chris 😊
@@theheightoflife i still use them as they are good for gentle cooking opposed to my gas stove that can sometimes burn food because the heat is more concentrated in the middle. I use a full block if i want to boil water faster but if just warming something up or frying its better to use half a block at a time for a less intense flame. I didn't like the liquid gell as i was worried it might split in my bag so have been using the blocks a couple of years and they've always smelt strongly and messed up the pot. I put pots in a bag so they don't touch other gear. I use the gas for most things especially brews so i don't have to keep cleaning my crusader mug and the gell for woodland camp cooking.
@@robmartin4927 Cool and yeah I would normally be using gas too if I were on a normal day hike or a wildcamp, or even an open fire when im at permission camps. These are just cool to have sometimes for something different or for example this whole set fit into the 420ml pot and in my pocket so didnt need a rucksack for a local brew in the woods. I have cooked with their BCB foldable multi fuel stove using these cubes too 👍🏻 Yeah I dont think id fancy carrying the liquid about. At home on a bbq or firepit is different but you wouldnt want that spilling in your bag for sure. Thanks again for watching, leaving me a comment and giving me your feedback 😃🙏🏼👍🏻👍🏻 Have a great rest of your week... Chris
Do the same with my cheap lixada stove small even easier to put together but if yo stack virtical twigs tight for a top down burn can get 500ml to boil without adding mor wood
Wow that's great!! I have 9 bushboxes altogether and 3 of them are Lixada. They make some really cool kit. I've never used anything but wood in them and can get water to boil using twigs with this key chain stove if you have experience with correct loading etc. It does take a while though as this is the smallest Bushbox stove I've got by far haha. Did this video as I was fed up of seeing people moaning about it on reviews saying they can't get water to boiling point as its 'too small' and 'not possible' etc. But they way they were attempting it didnt help. Thought this may make people's lives easier 😂😂 Thanks so much for watching and keep enjoying your stoves and the great outdoors 😃🙏🏼👍🏻💚 ATB.... Chris
No as shown and mentioned, this is a Bushcraft Essentials EDC Key chain stove. A 'mini version' of their firebox. It can be used as a 'twig stove' and feed twigs in the same as you would feed wood into a normal Bush box but too many people here on TH-cam saying it takes too long and they couldn't get a rolling boil with it. I just showed this little 'trick' using the Firedragon fuel of how you can use the EDC stove to get a rolling boil in under 5 mins. Everything used all fits inside the mug and into my pocket so a great EDC pocket cookset. Thank you for watching! 🙏🏼👍🏻😊
@@theheightoflife Yeah mate I saw your trick which was class..exactly why I'm a subscriber. I don't know how I missed the description first time around...thanks though great videos. 👍
@@theronin365 Haha no worries it's all good! Bushcraft Essentials do some really cool stoves if you were after a fire box. Their larger ones can be a little more expensive than some of the others like Lixada for example, but they are super quality and the bigger ones are much easier to 'build'. THANK YOU for being a loyal subscriber I honestly do appreciate it very much 🤜🏻💓🤛🏻 Hope you enjoy your weekend whatever you may do 🙏🏼😊 ATB... Chris ✌🏼

You can physically heat water up with sticks but dont takes a bit of practice and dont expect it to do it quick lol. But with the Firedragon fuel then its brilliant I think.
The whole cookset I had there all fits into that 420ml pot and in my pocket so didnt even need to carry a rucksack 👍🏻👍🏻

Thanks for watching mate 🙏🏼🍻
Wow that is a very small stove!! Great idea using the fuel cube, I’m going to have to order some of them I think! I love bushcraft essentials kit but I could imagine trying to boil water with just twigs in that tiny stove could be A LOT of effort 😂 great video, really informative and excellently put together. Congrats on 1000 subs as well!!! 🎉🎉🎉
Thanks Alex!! Yeah it is a tiny little stove lol, you can technically still boil water with twigs etc but takes a bit of practice and you have to be very patient for sure 😆
For the sake of carrying one of these Firedragon fuel cubes round and an empty tealight candle holder in your pot this way is much better 💯
Thanks so much again mate 🙏🏼🙏🏼
ATB buddy and I hope you and your loved ones have a wonderful Christmas 🎄
Chris 👍🏻
Very cool bushcraft stove! Have you tried the BRS 3000? Very ultralight and most hikers use that here in the US! Now following #968
Hi!! 👋🏻
Thanks mate! Yeah ive had one of those a few years haha pretty decent little thing and a very good piece of kit when you're trying to save some weight on multi day hikes especially.
Ahh awesome 🤜🏻💯🤛🏻 THANK YOU so much!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Really appreciate it... Ill have s browse at your channel too 😁
ATB... Chris 🇬🇧🤝🏼🇺🇲
@@theheightoflife I take with me on every hike! You are almost to 1K!! Congrats my friend and look forward to more videos ahead in 2022! Happy Holidays my friend!
@@MetroOnTheMove Sweet! Ive got about 8 or 9 stoves lol so end up taking different ones out all the time 😆
Ahh thanks so much man! Really appreciate the support.. I know you are new to my channel but had a very bad back injury on 1st Nov so my content has been a little scattered since then as ive not been able to get out on any hikes or wildcamps since my last Peak District camp.
I am making some decent progress now though so I should be able to resume very soon.
Thank you for your patience during my set back 🙏🏼
Happy holidays to you too dude I wish you a great festive season 😊😊👍🏻

Been using the fire dragon gell for a while, its good but it definitely has a strong smell, and it is sooty, makes a lot of mess on pots although does clean off fairly easy.
Hey! Thanks for watching 😊😊
Sorry you have had bad experience with the DragonFuel gell leaving soot on your pots. The marks on my pot were from when I had used it over a wood fire before. Using the fuel blocks with this stove and pot or with my BCB stove there is never anything to wipe off. Even if my tissue is a bit damp from drying the inside of the pot and I wipe the outside ive not had any black marks.
Very strange its sooty for you it shouldn't be doing that as there are no fumes or toxins to come from it. All 100% natural materials and the blocks are tested for and by the MoD so they shouldnt leave any smells or signatures.
Is this the gell you're using and not the fuel blocks in this video? As that may be different to use I dont know, have never used the gell. But have used these fuel blocks for years and haven't had any soot marks 🤔 has stumped me that lol.
Glad you can get it off easy in any case 👍🏻
ATB... Chris 😊
@@theheightoflife i still use them as they are good for gentle cooking opposed to my gas stove that can sometimes burn food because the heat is more concentrated in the middle. I use a full block if i want to boil water faster but if just warming something up or frying its better to use half a block at a time for a less intense flame. I didn't like the liquid gell as i was worried it might split in my bag so have been using the blocks a couple of years and they've always smelt strongly and messed up the pot. I put pots in a bag so they don't touch other gear. I use the gas for most things especially brews so i don't have to keep cleaning my crusader mug and the gell for woodland camp cooking.
@@robmartin4927 Cool and yeah I would normally be using gas too if I were on a normal day hike or a wildcamp, or even an open fire when im at permission camps. These are just cool to have sometimes for something different or for example this whole set fit into the 420ml pot and in my pocket so didnt need a rucksack for a local brew in the woods.
I have cooked with their BCB foldable multi fuel stove using these cubes too 👍🏻
Yeah I dont think id fancy carrying the liquid about. At home on a bbq or firepit is different but you wouldnt want that spilling in your bag for sure.
Thanks again for watching, leaving me a comment and giving me your feedback 😃🙏🏼👍🏻👍🏻
Have a great rest of your week...
Chris
@@theheightoflife 🙂🙂🙂
Do the same with my cheap lixada stove small even easier to put together but if yo stack virtical twigs tight for a top down burn can get 500ml to boil without adding mor wood
Wow that's great!! I have 9 bushboxes altogether and 3 of them are Lixada. They make some really cool kit. I've never used anything but wood in them and can get water to boil using twigs with this key chain stove if you have experience with correct loading etc. It does take a while though as this is the smallest Bushbox stove I've got by far haha.
Did this video as I was fed up of seeing people moaning about it on reviews saying they can't get water to boiling point as its 'too small' and 'not possible' etc. But they way they were attempting it didnt help. Thought this may make people's lives easier 😂😂
Thanks so much for watching and keep enjoying your stoves and the great outdoors 😃🙏🏼👍🏻💚
ATB.... Chris
Is it a Firedragon stove?
No as shown and mentioned, this is a Bushcraft Essentials EDC Key chain stove. A 'mini version' of their firebox.
It can be used as a 'twig stove' and feed twigs in the same as you would feed wood into a normal Bush box but too many people here on TH-cam saying it takes too long and they couldn't get a rolling boil with it.
I just showed this little 'trick' using the Firedragon fuel of how you can use the EDC stove to get a rolling boil in under 5 mins. Everything used all fits inside the mug and into my pocket so a great EDC pocket cookset.
Thank you for watching! 🙏🏼👍🏻😊
@@theheightoflife Yeah mate I saw your trick which was class..exactly why I'm a subscriber.
I don't know how I missed the description first time around...thanks though great videos. 👍
@@theronin365 Haha no worries it's all good! Bushcraft Essentials do some really cool stoves if you were after a fire box. Their larger ones can be a little more expensive than some of the others like Lixada for example, but they are super quality and the bigger ones are much easier to 'build'.
THANK YOU for being a loyal subscriber I honestly do appreciate it very much 🤜🏻💓🤛🏻
Hope you enjoy your weekend whatever you may do 🙏🏼😊
ATB... Chris ✌🏼
Germans know what they are doing from beer to stoves
Yes!! They do indeed 🔥🍻🔥😉
Hope you have had a good weekend pal 🙏🏼🙏🏼👍🏻
