    4.0 out of 5 stars Nice idea for backpacking, January 20, 2007
    This review is from: Foldable Pocket Cooker (Misc.)
    I recieved this for Christmas and just tried it out for the first time.
    I like the way it folds up and fits into its canvas bag for easy storage in the backpack. It takes up about as much room as a paperback book.
    It holds the fire in one place which is nice and I can see using it for heat with a leanto. If its dry out you'll never run out of fuel though it has to be small and you will have to keep feeding it because of the small size of the burn area but it heats well and cooked very well. All wood and leaves and sweetgum balls burnt to ash and it cooled quickly when done.

    The only problem I had with it was the paint blistering and poping off in places. I guess I will have to get it really hot then repaint it with some good engine paint to keep it from rusting.. It took me a couple of minutes to figure how to fold it back up as I didn't study it before opening it but the hinged side folds in first then the other side and back in its case and off you go...

    3.0 out of 5 stars Decent Backup Stove, August 5, 2010

    I got this stove to serve as a backup for my car camping expeditions and it has worked well for that. It works as advertised, actually quite well for what it is.

    * What is it? This is a rather small contraption make of light pressed steel cleverly held together by hings pins and cotter pins such that it can be folded into a 1" tall pancake when not in use. When deployed, it provides a secure and relatively wind-proof shelter in which to make a fire with whatever dry fuel is at hand. (twigs, paper, etc). The combustion chamber is quite small, so don't get the idea that you'll be fitting logs or large sticks in there. There is a small door that can be held up by an attached swiveling leg that allows you to feed in additional fuel once it gets going. The bottom of the unit is perforated, allowing air to be drawn up to aid in combustion, and the stove itself is held slightly off the ground by legs integral to the frame. The structure effectively channels the heat up... Read more

    5.0 out of 5 stars pocket stove, April 13, 2007
    This review is from: Foldable Pocket Cooker (Misc.)
    Wow, when I ordered this item and recieved it in the mail, I was in total shock. I opened a medium size shipping box but the size was alot smaller than I thought it would be. You could actually put this in your pocket. I live up in Canada where the weather goes from 1 extreme to another & this would and should become a manadtory survival tool. I'd highly recommend this even to just go camping with. Get your pocket stove and put your mind at ease about worrying about making a campfire... The inventor is a BRAIN!
