Fire is just cosy, and if you can also use it for cooking or heating water for coffee and tea, it becomes both cosy and practical on many trips. And all of this without having to build a huge bonfire.
This is where a Wood Stove or Bushcraft Stove comes in handy. They come in various shapes and models, and today we’ll focus on one of the more compact and lightweight options.
The Keith Ti2201 weighs only 318g and, when assembled, measures 125mm x 125mm x 160mm. This size allows for a stable and secure pot placement, such as a Trangia. And if you’re going minimalist (which you probably are on some trips?!), there is a nifty little support on top that ensures your titanium mug can also stand securely on the burner.
One of the advantages of its design is that, with this size (although smaller and not as flat-compact models are also available), you have space for slightly thicker branches. This is beneficial so you don’t have to sit constantly and “feed” your burner.
Oh, if you’re not familiar with the concept and benefits of a bushcraft wood stove, it’s the convenience of using wood from the forest floor. It doesn’t take many small branches to generate enough heat for boiling water in your mug, kettle, or pot.
And let me tell you; it’s easy to get too much heat when you want to surprise your family with freshly made pancakes after an overnight stay on the beach 😉
When packed, the stove takes up no more than 125mm x 160mm x 10mm.
It also comes with a carrying pouch, which is great so that you don’t end up with a soot-covered piece of titanium and anodized aluminium trying to fit it alongside your last pair of clean underwear. However, I must mention that while the burner itself exudes quality and sleek design, the same cannot be said for the cheap and flimsy zipper chosen for the storage pouch.
I have a video review as well.
My tips for starting a fire in a wood stove
You don’t need much to get a fire going on your stove. But to make it a bit easier for you, I recommend having some fatwood or Light My Fire Tindersticks and a little bit of paper to place at the bottom of the top grate of the stove. This grate has holes, and without a small piece of paper, you risk having your finely shredded fatwood falling through onto the solid bottom grate. And that won’t be very useful.
But with those two things in your pocket, along with a match or two, you’ll quickly get your fire going and let the cosy atmosphere spread while you wait for the water to heat up for your coffee.
No more of that squealing sound from the usual noisy gas burner 🙂
