The pouch and organization for your spices is awesome.
You have the best git'r'done reviews I have yet seen. Your personal experience with item, no b.s.
Love the weight comparison printed on the screen thanks!
Great honest review fella, I use the firebox stove and it's excellent comes with a few more attachments than the bush box, wished I had got it in titanium as like the bush box stainless steel comes in a nearly at 1kg. Loved the breakfast needed a nice runny fried egg on top for me 👍😁
Great review. Have to admit, I’m still biased towards the elegant and functional design of the Firebox stoves.
If I had anything to do with Bushbox, I'd hire you as a spokesman. Great review, Andy. 🙂👍🔥
I do struggle with the £100 price tag when you can get a foldable titanium Lixada model for £20. Glad you have got loads of use from yours.
Good review Andy! The firebox’s are hinged too, I have the nano and love how easy and quick it is to set up. I went and bought a titanium Honey Stove recently and I love it to cook on but OMG! what a faff to clip it all together! 😄
Thanks for the detailed review - ATB, Mark 👍
we have both of those too but would love to have one of the bush boxes
You do really good reviews Andy! Thorough and more importantly, honest! If you don't like something you say so and say why. Thanks for sharing. Cheers!
Good explanation and use of the stoves. The best for myself is the Folding Firebox Nano Gen 2 in titanium. Along with the X stand for it to sit on and even as a case for it. All of it fits inside a stuff sack to keep everything clean. I like the fact it's a nice size for a solo hiker , will take triple fuel ( Alcohol burner , Wood or fuel tabs ). Best of all it will take long sticks as well as short ones. The beauty of it is the assortment of different stoves on the market for campers to choose from.
I have both the LF and the XL in titanium I know they are pretty expensive but I love em both
The XL is perfect if you want a small bon-fire in the evening but without spending the time to
make a propper fire place.
Did you burn pine wood in them? I want to know if they get really dirty and sticky from burning pine wood.
@@bobafett8732 yeah i have burned pinewood in them and i havent had any problems with pine resin at all
but my cooking pots tents to become really dirty with sod
Based on your review, I’ve just ordered the LF. Could you please assure my wife I’ve done the right thing? Great review by the way, obviously 😁
haha, show her the vid! :) youll love it
Nice video Andy, I’ve had a play at making my own stove using a coffee tin to some success, downside is that it doesn’t pack away. Christmas is all but 17 weeks away so may have to write a letter this year 👍👍
Thanks for sharing your expertise. I started watching your channels when I was sick and was confined to the house for three weeks. They are well done and so relaxing I jook forward to the next video I havn! t seen before. Thanks again.
Great thorough review. I have the Firebox folding stove but am interested in the LF as a smaller option. Thanks again. Ben 👍🔥
Thanks for showing this. I like twig stoves, and carry the Littlbug Junior made in Wisconsin. 5.1 ounces.

You have a voice that is easy on the ears. Great video!
Thanks for the great review - I've been thinking of getting one for a while since watching you cook on them. I'll be ordering the XL set! Thanks again for another great video
What a brilliant stove. I’ve been curious to try and a compact stove, but this is a better design than others I’ve been.
Surprised you didn't have bacon!!! But then you can't beat onion and mushroom. Brilliant review Andy, very informative, and so easy to set up and use. Great!!
haha, im trying not to just cook bacon in every stove review now, trying to be a bit more creative :p
I’ve got two lixada ones. The one you showed and the smaller hinged one.Small one is amazing when use the meths burner dish supplied for making a brew up in a kettle. Not as fancy as the ones you showed,but functional and to be honest cheap. I’ve not had any issues with both of them I have. And they get a fair bit of use.
Great video Andy, thinking about making a Bush fire box instead of buying one you do amazing videos on your channel.
I'd love a Bushbox, I just can't justify the price tag. That's a lot of money!
I love using the bush box a lot of times here in Florida I just don't want a big fire to cook on it is to hot here for that. Thanks Andy take care.
Great review, but on this side of the pond, Firebox is king! :)
I learned the hard way...bought the bushbox, but ended up ordering the firebox... You get more versatility and control over the burn with a firebox... There's a waiting list for the Ti. Version...but if you just order the stove you won't get screwed on customs tax..cos it comes in under £135.
Order any extras from within the UK. 👍
I would like to try the Firebox (Ti) but im in no rush as i love using the bushbox.. ill get to it at some point im sure, thanks for the info.
Really? No tax if I buy from the USA and ship to UK?
@@PhilHaddon I haven't paid any tax so far... Made several orders from firebox ..but now the pandemic is receding, I see more of their products available in UK
Your reviews are excellent. Can't thank you enough.
I dunno. Maybe I'm cheap; maybe I'm not rich. But I have to say I would rather buy 7 or 8 far less expensive units than laying out well over 200 bucks with accessories for the XL. Just me. I DO like your videos. You have fun doing them, and keep on slurping the ketchup.
Awesome review, I am definitely putting a bushbox lf on my wish list. Thank you for the very informative video.
They are brilliant for motor bike camping ,
Nice review.
Just enough information, which is what I like.
Great display of use.
Enjoyed it.
All the best.
Clive.
Great bit of kit!
Pls can you recommend an outdoor mobile solar powered battery charger - we have an outdoor gazebo and need to power up a 100Watt tv - we have no power source , hence the need for a wireless power pack that is solar powered and can be the power source for a TV.
I am based in California now / any recommendations appreciated mate ! Love the camping videos !
They do look like great bits of kit. I have one of those Lixada clip together jobbies but may take the plunge on a BB Titanium. Great review 👍
Lovely Review 😍 like my Bushbox XL very much for tea or fast dinner cooking
The woodland your in looks picturesque
Glad I stumbled on your channels . Seem to be reading my mind .
Those seem really handy, I think I'll get one, really well done review👍👍
Just confirmed what I need, cheers buddy
Just before they’re done, add a couple ounces of Marsala wine to those mushrooms. You’ll never go back!
I am definitely going to treat myself to the Ti XL at Crimbo. Cheers, Andy!
Nice one mate.. i personally use the LF more than the XL, though the XL will burn longer and hold more coals.
@@kentsurvivalgearreview586 Thanks for your reply, Andy.
Do you use the LF more because it is a “just in case” type thing? i.e. in case you can’t have a fire or just because you need a quick exit in the morning and don’t wish to leave a fire pit to extinguish.
That’s my thinking anyway, so for what “we” mainly do, I can see why sir.
Cheers pal 😉👍🏼
Tim
I have always fancied one because of the ease of set up, but I just cant justify the price because I am tight. 😂 Regards JB. (Allan).
Thank you for the video. It’s just made my mind up to buy one!
Great review and video Andy. Thanks
Hi . They are great bits of kit . I have the steel lf, . Titanium a bit more pricey . Almost wish I got the larger one but the lf does the trick . Nice little cooking demo 👍. Hungry now 😂 . Take care atb
Great review but I really prefer the Firebox stoves
Excelente! Gracias
Excellent thank you 👍
You need to try the fire box gen 5 wood stove it's a good packable stove and it's multi fuel stoves charcoal,wood pellets, gell fuels, plus alcohol and it comes in titanium as well . God Bless my friend
£100 odd for these is a tad pricey in my view.
Rather take a ghillie stove in a separate pack - boils water as well as cooking food at the same time. Mutli tasking FTW :)
Oops, correction, they’re made in Minnesota. Nice to carry, to cook on, and to gaze into small campfires.

Great footage 👍 liked & subscribed, thanks for sharing, grüße Michael from Germany
7:50 The multi-functional case make the ash tray redundant both in cost as well in weight, unless you could also cook on top of it.
oh man that leather case looks awesome!
it is nice :D
Very similar to my Firebox by its looks
Apart from both being twig/hobo stoves they are totally different beasts!
I’d like to get one of these and compare it with my firebox. I like that the bush box ash pan is fixed and not removable like the firebox
I'm a huge firebox fan ...own big one n nano ...both awesome. Similar kinda vibe asbush box.. but I found the firebox more versatile...
Since adding this comment I've found I rarely use the firebox nano ....and will be replacing it with BB LF To 😊
💚 Thank you!
Good informative video Andy, cheers Pal !
Cheers Martin
I was a little sad to see this, as I have on the way one of the cheap Chinese ones from Amazon. Seems the Bushbox IS worth the extra $$$. (as usual. Why don't I learn?!)
- I guess I'll try the little Chinese one and that will help me decide which size Bushbox to get when the time comes. (I'm thinking keep the small Chinese ones and get the XL as a compliment)
- You forgot the meat for your sammich!
Excellent job on the review.
This is an expensive option.The slot together wood burner you showed is fiddly for sure, but not by much. Those stoves lend themselves to the stainless steel versions rather than titanium for sturdiness. I like to cook using a Trangia fuel burner and find the Lixada type stoves (as in your review, but many other brands available) are better. The burner fits in the stove, is well insulated and still allows the cross bars for resting pots large and small unto. It comes down to price. Around £20 for the slot together stoves to Bushbox prices three times at least more expensive. I remain to be convinced, while admiring the design.
How do ya feel about the bush buddy? I’m looking to get a stove and haven’t decided yet. The bush buddy has long delay in receiving.
You had me at BUSH BOX 😂 great video dude keep them comming
Hey Andy I noticed you have the GSI kettle in this video and have now acquired the fire maple kettle in your brew kit. I am after a bushcraft camp kettle, which of these two do you prefer? Thanks
I feel you were a bit mean to non hinged boxes here Andy! They're not that difficult to put together, Even the non rip offs cost much less and have many pros over the bush box. The titanium wildcamping int one if fantastic and you can double it up to make two which is great for more space and heat. The honey stove is another good example. Overall i agree they're more superior but at least compare with a good one! ??
Hi Martin... I have nothing against them for occasional use or as a first stove.. mine was, just that imo the bushbox is worth the extra cost.. especially if you use them very often.. the one i showed is the only one i currently own so the only one i can show to compare i.m afraid.
Cooking pans blacken my hands, not my slot and tab twig burner.
What is the kit he is using with the lighter and spices inside? Looks great
Hi Andy,another great video mate,have you got a link to the wooden double fingered cup please.
Merci pour cette vidéo complète 😁 Et voilà ! 🇨🇵
Great video to watch on a Sunday afternoon, think the Bush box is the answer. 🔥Have you ever used a Kelly Kettle?
Hello Kent, how are you? thanks for your observations. I have one question: what stove you prefer? steel or titanium? what more strong? thanks!!!!
His name is Andy, he lives and camps in Kent. Honest mistake I know as I assumed the same early on. He's a humble guy or it might be called Andy Survival. 😆
I'll stick with my firebox. It is fantastic every time i use it
Will the stoves fit in the nylon cover if placed inside the optional base?
The need for hinges makes these models obsolete. What else you have?
There you go making me hungry, again! Hahaha...
One of these days, I'm going to have to get off the money and go ahead and get one of the Ti models, with accessories like you use.
awesome vid andy got me thinking about getting one now cheers mate.lol
Even during a review he has to cook something 😂😂. I must admit, I slight prefer my firebox simply because I didn't like the half folding side of the bushbox! That's all it was between them 👍
Does the XL premium come with the multi functional stand as standard please
Great review the xl can use wood trangia spirit burner or gas
Wow. 3rd video of yours I've seen. I love the plate, cup, and spice case. Im contemplating the pico(small) and the LF, imma compare to the firebox first tho...depend on price I reckon...I mean I'm fortunate to finally not care about money but no reason to waste it considering how much preparing we need to do consider our global status. Honestly I just like the pico bc of it's small size, but am worried about longevity. I guess it's enticing as a backup.
PS, plz lemme know where to find that or similar spice case and plate ...I guess I could make the plate...but the spice case is dope. Maybe make one outta glass vials and leather and make it roll up thou...idk
In your opinion, which one would you rather use, Titanium or Steel?
I'm guessing Titanium since Andy purchased those. I was wondering something similar about whether steel would warp less.
I've never used one but I do have a few Firebox. It seems comparable.
How does the trangia burner fit in the XL does it need the extra support shelf
Love it... but I have a firebox stove as well as lixada and a few other stoves..
Maybe in future lol..
Which would people get for a novice?
What kind of containers do you use for your spices and herbs?
Very impressed with these but they are rather expensive for me.
Great video....but you lost me at "Makes a change from bacon" 😅 realised we could never be friends. Shame. Great review though!
i can't believe how expensive the bushbox is in north america.
came for a stove... learned about mushrooms on toast....
What size do you prefer?
For me, the LF is perfect, if i regularly used it for more than 2 people, id probably go XL.
🤟😁
Firebox stoves are the best out there.
🙂
You first put water in kettle , then put on fire 😁
Yeh .. hindged stove defo..
WEY HAY Andy said " Strap on " Sorry I'm very sad.
No butter on the toast.
except all the butter in the shrooms ;)
Nice but massively over priced £ 100 + just for the LF. I will stick with my homemade Ikea stove. ☺
Just buy the stainless version it’s about halt the price of Ti and only 4oz heavier!
I really enjoy watching your vid. I don't have the Bushbox but I do use a Firebox G2 and really like it. Subbed to see more!
Does the Ti metal on this stove rust at all? I have a stainless steel fire box stove and it not only rusts yet the hinges bind as well.
