Thanks so much for the awesome video! I love hearing from experienced woodsmen that they are getting good service and performance from their Firebox Stoves! I'm so glad you like it! Thanksagain!
I have a jet boil, but I saw this stove in the store the other day and haven't been able to get it out of my mind. After watching this, I am going to get it. THANK YOU for taking the time to show me how to use it. Loved the vid. Very calming.
Nice video. Beautiful scenery. I have to say though, you never peal bark from a living tree. It's a huge leave no trace principle. White Birch trees are especially at risk. Thanks
I know I am a latecomer to the Firebox but I have one on order. In the past I used many different stoves but ended up with the Firebox for a number of reasons. I learned one can bake and simmer with it and it is a fast boil. Also as I reflected on the infrastructure necessary to produce and deliver a petroleum product for a canister or liquid petroleum stove this made far more environmental sense. Your videos have taught me a lot and I look forward to practice time with the stove.
I have my original gen 1 firebox and have been following Steve almost since the very beginning and one of the original members of stove aholics on Facebook I have been one of the original backers on Kickstarter with the Gen 2 full size firebox and also the nano and I've given five nanos away as gifts because I personally believe that these are one of the single greatest inventions of my life time which may sound cheesy but I genuinely believe this I believe that these products are built for generations and I don't see that for most products nowadays I see that this is such a versatile product that can be used in so many different facets and I am glad to see that individuals like you get to benefit from a great design and use it in such a beautiful environment
Thank you for this great review! I just got my own Firebox yesterday and am excited to try it out, very cool to see it in actual, practical use as you've shown.
Just received a Firebox Nano in the mail yesterday and plan to try it out later today. If I end up liking it I will probably get the larger Firebox before next fall. Will be nice to have both sizes. The nano fits very nice into my rather small day pack.
Check with fireboxstoves.com , I bought a few value packages for my children and grandson. I got the stainless steel 64 ounce bottles in their kits , as I've gotten for myself, cost Less buying it all at once .
Thanks for this gear review that has the benefit of time, reflection and usage. You brought out a few features I wasn't aware. As for myself, I opted for the smaller and lighter Firebox Nano, but it works in much the same way, with side fuel ports for a less fiddly experience, which matters all the more on the smaller model. Love those Firebox stoves. Cheers, - Martin
Awesome video & I really appreciate a long term use review. It means much more to me when the product was used over a long period of time. I had to subscribe! Thanx!
I have looked at these never used one but I think it may be the best built stove out there. I'm not worried about the weight. It's the price that gets me. I have 3 other stoves right now. I think when they are finished I will go with one of these. Great demo.
They are pricier than most other stoves other than The "Bushcraft essentials " one but man they are built like a tank !! and can be used in so many different ways...check out the Firebox channel on youtube Mark. I really like my Emberlit but in cold weather i find the Firebox needs less fidgiting to open and put together.
I love it, especially when you just want to cook a quick meal or have a hot brew. It uses minimal resources and leaves less of a footprint, that's what I call a win win situation !.
Just bought one. Its piddly but I love the fact that I dont have to break or cut up sticks. Just enough to get it going and then feed long sticks in through the feeding holes on the side.
Oh man...we've got a lot of work to do with your bushcraft skills...especially around making coffee..LOL...Great video Wayne. I agree with everything you say about the Firebox. Without question the most capable stove I own...just a little heavy but I'm okay with that
Mark Young You are so right Mark that guy really needs help on coffee 😉😂😂😂 But on other hand his review on the FireBox is one of the best I have seen. One think is sure he just gain a new subscriber 👍👍👍
Kijika Life 😂😂😂 you got it my friend, I'm living in St-Hyacinthe in la Montérégie since a while but spend lot of my life in the Laurentians. I was almost sure you are a french speaking when I heard you saying "c'est chaud" 😉 I just discover your Channel and I found your content great and Really like your approach 👍👍👍
lol at the Mark Young coffee part, been binge watching his videos since we been locked indoors I have yet to buy a stove of any kind yet with these fire bans going on, I almost expect it to go til next winter
I think we've all been binge watching video's Lol !!. We've been getting more and more fire bans and they are lasting longer and longer as well...might be best to stick with a gas stove for now !
I was a little late in getting one, so i had to get the 2nd gen, but i was really looking for the gen 1. I don't use the stick slots on the bottom very much, i mostly feed from the top. maybe i'll get lucky and find an older one at some point. Thanks for watching and commenting !
great stove for sure , i been looking at one since they came out just hate to spend the money ,i got so many stoves now but maybe next year cuz i really want one , the multi fuel use and really the stove could save your life with a good fire to keep you warm ! great piece of gear ! atb john
I'm a driller. I took a used up 6" steel coring barrel and torched off the heavy threaded end, leaving a steel cylinder. I then drilled, torched, and ground it into a slightly heavier cylindrical version of the firebox. Cost me $6 😁
Cooling it quickly can cause weak areas and warping. It's not recommended by the creator. (He has TH-cam videos too). There is a Titanium version and that cools Very quickly.
1) Your fire stick works better than mine, where can I purchase, please? 2) A bit of water (even just 1/4 inch) on the bottom of your metal cup will help prevent 'burn' to the cup. 3). How much does the Firebox weigh? Two pounds? By the way, instant coffee is great! I use it too.
I bought mine on Amazon and thanks for the tip for my metal cup !...Ya the Firebox stove weights about 2 pounds. Thanks for taking the time to comment !!
I can't really comment on the Titanium, I've never owned one but I can tell you the stainless is not a light weight stove but is built like a tank. I also can say that Steve at Firebox is very serious about the products he sells and does extensive testing before releasing it to the public...I would trust his products no matter which one you decide to go with.
A great watch and listen Wayne. I am a stovaholic....there I've said it lol. I am contemplating another stove purchase...Firebox or Bushbox. Decisions, decisions and, you shouldn't tease Mark like this. Paul :)
I had to go and check lol...it's an LL Bean that I got at a Thrift store for under 10.00 Cnd !!, great wind breaker...just throw a woolen sweater under it and you are good to go . Thanks for the kind words and for leaving a comment !
Great video! Watched it all the way through! I love it when you can get the pros and cons. And the weight seemed to be the only "issue" - which I guess is remedied with the versatility of it. One question: Have you've been using the Trangia Spirit Burner with it? How much one "dosage" of alcohol last?
Spoilt by too much talking. Its a common problem with north americans that they think they need to explain every little detail. That maybe necessary for folks from new york but not for the rest of the world. Just rerun the video and ask yourself does that action actually need an explanation?
Thanks so much for the awesome video! I love hearing from experienced woodsmen that they are getting good service and performance from their Firebox Stoves! I'm so glad you like it! Thanksagain!
Well I don't know about the experienced woodsman part lol ! but am just very satisfied with your product so Thank you ( :
@@highlandtrekker Me too. That firebox Nano has become my favourite stove, whether backpacking or canoe-tripping.
Cheers!
I've always wanted to ask, what's the longest time you've ever run the stove? Just wondering if i could use it as a fireplace aswell
@@overlandoz well, surely one could keep a fire in this all night without a problem?
I have a jet boil, but I saw this stove in the store the other day and haven't been able to get it out of my mind. After watching this, I am going to get it. THANK YOU for taking the time to show me how to use it. Loved the vid. Very calming.

I'm so glad the vid was some help !! you will not regret your purchase...this stove is awesome !!
great job on the review, on an observational note, in your environment just making a fire is a plus.
I have my original gen 1 firebox and have been following Steve almost since the very beginning and one of the original members of stove aholics on Facebook I have been one of the original backers on Kickstarter with the Gen 2 full size firebox and also the nano and I've given five nanos away as gifts because I personally believe that these are one of the single greatest inventions of my life time which may sound cheesy but I genuinely believe this I believe that these products are built for generations and I don't see that for most products nowadays I see that this is such a versatile product that can be used in so many different facets and I am glad to see that individuals like you get to benefit from a great design and use it in such a beautiful environment
A great product indeed ! one of my favorite pieces of kit. Thanks for taking the time to comment ( :
The Firebox is the coolest piece of gear I own. It can do anything. I honestly don't think it can be improved upon.
Thank you for this great review! I just got my own Firebox yesterday and am excited to try it out, very cool to see it in actual, practical use as you've shown.
You're very welcome !...It's a great stove, I'm sure you won't have any regrets !! Thanks fort taking the time to comment
Nice review and spot for a cup! Happy trails 👍
When you tell us that the water is at rolling boil, you wisely allowed us to see it for ourselves. That's the mark of a good videographer!
Thank you so much !! I have been inactive for over a year but will be getting back into it as of the new Year....RETIREMENT !!
Mine landed on the doormat this morning - can't wait to try it.
Just received a Firebox Nano in the mail yesterday and plan to try it out later today. If I end up liking it I will probably get the larger Firebox before next fall. Will be nice to have both sizes. The nano fits very nice into my rather small day pack.

Awesome vid mate, good to see the Firebox in a perfect setting. Seems good as a winter stove cause you can really get it cranking up hot.
You've got that right...one of the hottest burning stoves on the market !.Thanks for watching and for commenting ( :

Steve makes a great product, it's my main stove !
They both have their uses. Firebox Nano for backpacking. 5" Firebox for base camp.
Good video especially in the cold snow environment ! I bought one-
You won't regret it !!
Great video but damn you at 16:15 you fazzed out a little... I’m stoned and thought I was having a flash back.. woohoo!!! I love my stick stove.

Nice demo there Wayne.I usually cook and brew over an open fire or with a Trangia burner.But,this Christmas i intend to treat myself to a Firebox :-)
I love it, especially when you just want to cook a quick meal or have a hot brew.
It uses minimal resources and leaves less of a footprint, that's what I call a win win situation !.
Would like to see more about all the equipment, clothes, etc. you use.
Just bought one. Its piddly but I love the fact that I dont have to break or cut up sticks. Just enough to get it going and then feed long sticks in through the feeding holes on the side.
Great review. Great boots . And casually pulling out birch barks out of pocket... He is one of us !! LMAO 🤣
Oh man...we've got a lot of work to do with your bushcraft skills...especially around making coffee..LOL...Great video Wayne. I agree with everything you say about the Firebox. Without question the most capable stove I own...just a little heavy but I'm okay with that
Oh please I need help lol !!!!. for sure it is a good stove, i can live with the weight too. Thanks for dropping by
Mark Young You are so right Mark that guy really needs help on coffee 😉😂😂😂 But on other hand his review on the FireBox is one of the best I have seen. One think is sure he just gain a new subscriber 👍👍👍

Thank you sir for the info on the backpack.
You're very welcome !!
Northern Michigan here. My husband just told me to buy it.
Yo won't regret it !
lol at the Mark Young coffee part, been binge watching his videos since we been locked indoors

I think we've all been binge watching video's Lol !!. We've been getting more and more fire bans and they are lasting longer and longer as well...might be best to stick with a gas stove for now !
I will keep an eye on you my friend hahaha. Nice stove , surroundings and a nice video to watch, Greetzzz Martin.
You better lol !
I have the first generation firebox stove and I love it
I was a little late in getting one, so i had to get the 2nd gen, but i was really looking for the gen 1. I don't use the stick slots on the bottom very much, i mostly feed from the top. maybe i'll get lucky and find an older one at some point. Thanks for watching and commenting !
Kijika Life
I really like your video
great stove for sure , i been looking at one since they came out just hate to spend the money ,i got so many stoves now but maybe next year cuz i really want one , the multi fuel use and really the stove could save your life with a good fire to keep you warm ! great piece of gear !
atb john
It's not a cheap stove but very versatile and it's built to last !
The best way to get a coffe. I can smell your coffe to my country Austria. :)
Thanks Gerhard...it was a pretty good coffee lol !!. I believe you had asked me to do a vid on my traditional archery, it will be coming soon !
Yes i asked you about a archery video. I cant waiting for this. I am sure it will be another great video.
I'm a driller. I took a used up 6" steel coring barrel and torched off the heavy threaded end, leaving a steel cylinder. I then drilled, torched, and ground it into a slightly heavier cylindrical version of the firebox. Cost me $6 😁
satisfying video bro, upload more .
Thanks man !... I have more vids on youtube and will be posting something new in a few days, Thanks for watching
Good video ,I have the smaller knockoff version and love it keep up the good work it's been a while
Yes it has and thanks for the kinds words...I didn't know there was a smaller knock off, where did you find this ?. Thanks for watching and commenting
Lixada wood stove on Amazon I think it was 20 bucks
It's actually very good also got the solo style works great
I have both , the solo lite and the lixada...they both are good stoves !
Can you do a video of how you pack it all away? So you put it in the snow to cool it down fast?
Cooling it quickly can cause weak areas and warping. It's not recommended by the creator. (He has TH-cam videos too). There is a Titanium version and that cools Very quickly.
1) Your fire stick works better than mine, where can I purchase, please?
2) A bit of water (even just 1/4 inch) on the bottom of your metal cup will help prevent 'burn' to the cup.
3). How much does the Firebox weigh? Two pounds?
By the way, instant coffee is great! I use it too.
I bought mine on Amazon and thanks for the tip for my metal cup !...Ya the Firebox stove weights about 2 pounds. Thanks for taking the time to comment !!
QUESTION: Titanium or SS? I NEED the light weight of the Titanium, but recently heard it's not too strong when hot? Is this a problem for anyone?
I can't really comment on the Titanium, I've never owned one but I can tell you the stainless is not a light weight stove but is built like a tank. I also can say that Steve at Firebox is very serious about the products he sells and does extensive testing before releasing it to the public...I would trust his products no matter which one you decide to go with.
Damn guess I gotta get one of these now. Held off long enough
You won't regret it !!
Cool 😎 Fire 🔥 Box Video 👍
Thanks...it's a great product !
A great watch and listen Wayne. I am a stovaholic....there I've said it lol. I am contemplating another stove purchase...Firebox or Bushbox. Decisions, decisions and, you shouldn't tease Mark like this. Paul :)
That will be a tough decision Paul !!...Mark is a great guy with a good sense of humor, read his reply lol !! Thanks for watching
Kijika Life haha, yes Wayne I saw Mark's comment. Where would we be without a sense of humour :)
It would be a sad world Brother !!
Great video! Is this stainless steel? Or is it the titanium version? Thx
Nice! Just got one :D
I love mine!
What jacket are you wearing in video?? You have a nice channel. I just came across it.
I had to go and check lol...it's an LL Bean that I got at a Thrift store for under 10.00 Cnd !!, great wind breaker...just throw a woolen sweater under it and you are good to go . Thanks for the kind words and for leaving a comment !
👍🏻👍🏻🔥
This is the only way ,using it And after some time you can give a honest review
You are right !...i knew after a short period of time it was a solid stove and good to hear from you again !!
what i would like to see is the shutdown of the stove.
What brand of pack is that ?
It's an Alpini rucksack....An Italian military issued mountain rucksack...you see them around but not too often, great 30 liter pack !!
Great video! Watched it all the way through!
I love it when you can get the pros and cons. And the weight seemed to be the only "issue" - which I guess is remedied with the versatility of it.
One question: Have you've been using the Trangia Spirit Burner with it? How much one "dosage" of alcohol last?
What kind of backpack is that?
It's an Italian military alpine rucksack, I believe it is known as the Alpini.
Thanks for the comment !
Nice one :-)
Thanks, it's a great product !! Thanks for taking the time to watch and comment I appreciate your support !!! ( :
Nice.
