Wild Woodgas: Beautiful Stove!

I've finally really learned how to use the Wild Woodgas Stove (finally!!). Now I can see that a lot of people are not correctly loading the stove, making the same mistakes I was. Also, there's some bad press going around in comparing it to little fire box types, and done while not loading it correctly. There's a fantastic side by side comparison of this woodgas with a fire box at    • Hobo Contest Künzi vs. Wild Woodgas Stove ...   (Livlandfahrer). Mr. Livlandfahrer loads his a bit differently than I do, and it still beats the fire box by several minutes! Mind you, those fire boxes are neat little stoves, too, though! I don't mean to bad mouth any one else's choices: It's just that now when I see side-by-sides done, I really want this little sweetie to get a fair chance!

To be able to start a fire, and not tend to it for an HOUR is pretty impressive--all from a small batch of sticks. This little thing is very hot, very efficient, long burning, and elusively easy to use. If I were hiking long distance and couldn't carry fuel, I'd definitely take a woodgas over a fire box now. Hm! This stove is great for dry oven-type baking, long boils, frying. Thanks for your interest.
