Seems pretty cool. Weather is rainy, so I don't feel like trying it out right now.
Anybody used one before? I like the charcoal option! As you can see, I also got a smaller stove and an alcohol burner. I used top have an Ecobit, but I like the bigger size and biomass option. So: Can I use the alcohol burner in the Ecozoom? I'm worried about excessive temps that would melt the little can or offgassing/BLVE danger. Also, can I use the aluminum pots over the Ecozoom? Again, I'm concerned about temps- don't want to warp or melt anything. I have cast iron stuff I'll probably use anyway.  Attached File |

Wood, cow poop, charcoal... The loading door is maybe 2 inches high and 4 inches wide, so you can stuff some broomstick sized kindling in there.
The website is kinda eco-preachy but makes some good points. Amazon has decent prices and there's good YT vids. |

Pretty cool for just over $100. Looks like they’re sold out though. |

You're gonna need one to get through the Wu Flu! At night, when the funeral pyres for the dead light up the sky, you'll be eating like a king!

I've been studying the Solo stoves... Thoughts on them? I have the Bonfire fire pit, but the small stoves look nice too.

I admit I haven't even fired mine up yet; been busy with other preps.
I did see a cool YT video about a guy who put some hardware cloth over the botton grate and got good results with a handful of wood stove pellets. I am going to make a little basket out of coat hangar wire and 1/4 inch mesh. I have 300+ lbs. available to me. There seems to be a stainless ChiCom stove that runs 30ish bucks and gets decent reviews on YT, but I question it's ultimate durability. |

I have the lite and the titan, work as they should and really do get roaring. My GSI 1.8L boiler had no problem obtaining and sustaining a rolling boil while making crawdads at Seneca Rocks. If I have the option to use them I usually do. |

I bought an Ecozoom Plancha double burner a couple years back. I've tested it and played with it a handful of times. My experience in using it with gathered wood is that it is not as easy to keep lit as you might expect.

Using pellet stove pellets is a great option! I used 1/4" hardware cloth to tighten up the grate; very few pellets fell through.

This is a small handfull burning quite well. Lit the pile with a propane torch until a few were blackened and let the rest catch. Got kinda smokey for a minute, then the magic happened. Burned very well for 10 min. or so, then the embers went out- very little ash.
Dropped a small handful on the embers for a re-light at that point. Got VERY smokey for a minute, then woosh! Fire came back and grew just as before. I now have a standard 40 lb. bag in 2 Homer buckets with regular lids. Might get a Gamma lid as I hate fighting the regular lids.  Attached File |

I have been looking at hobo Ikea and walmart stoves. I build the walmart canister one this week.
This will be my next purchase. https://siegestoves.com/ |
