Introducing the European wood gas stove The Bush Cooker made by Qvist in Holland. Based on the same scientific wood gas principles as the Canadian Bush Buddy, this stove burns organic matter and saves weight on long distance trips. It will also work in hand with certain Meths stoves, making for an even more flexible cooking unit. Apart from anything else, it is great to sit around in the evening and warm the cockles of your heart!
Comments on "The Bush Cooker"
Great video!! Thank ... Great video!! Thank for posting! You are the only one that correctly described this stove as a woodgas? stove! Good explaining of pyrolysis process. I've watched a few videos on YouTube about this stove and they all treated it as a hobo stove, unaware of the gasification bonus!! Well done again.
Part 2.
I would be ... Part 2.
I would be happy to use this stove all day long if? i was touring somewhere like Africa but would like it to be better made and maybe rust free. It's quite fragile when used frequently. The Gasification nonsense really does work and is amazing to watch.
My verdict on this stove is that it's woks fine but I'm scared it will break/bend so i always bring a petrol cooker too.
Well i? did buy one ... Well i? did buy one. Have used it a dozen times now, this morning being the last time. I camped out near Canterbury in the UK and it rained most of the night. I got the stove going without any problems even though it was damp conditions. The trick is to use the wax paper to light it and dead wood, which is surprisingly dry after the nights downpour. This is an expensive stove for what you get. It's made from tin so has started to rust a little. Part of the spot soldering came away this morning.
nice? nice?
Thanks for an ... Thanks for an actual explanation on the design principals..?
Good? video and ... Good? video and nicely put. What a great way to cook during dryer weather without looking for petrol. Might even buy one for cycle camping.
peace? peace?
What kind of bushes ... What kind of bushes have you cooked? with it?
great informational ... great informational video, you are a good presenter...well done? Blighty boy...the Canadian BushBuddy is the way to go though eh? The thing is amazing and made in good old BC Canada
Brilliant !
Never ... Brilliant !
Never came across one of? them here in US...
Sadly not in the UK ... Sadly not in the UK. The manufacturing was totally inconsistent and they couldn't supply when we needed them, so I think you can only get them direct from Holland.?
are? these no ... are? these no longer available?
Can't see your ... Can't see your logic there. There base of the stove is greater than the average gas canister, and so it is equally stable. Down to operator error! Regarding Gas of course it is quicker and easier, but it isn't environmentally friendly to produce and it is filling up land fill. You are totally missing the point of wood? stoves!
Looks to be really ... Looks to be really unstable.. here in colorado i usually camp on uneven ground that mixed with the dry forest and this thing falling over which will certainly happen over time equals a forest fire use canister stoves better burn times and? much more reliable
Not so! The stove ... Not so! The stove is actually a? double layer of stainless steel and thus the exterior is actually cool to the touch. Therefore no video tricks involved ;-)
I don't see how it? ... I don't see how it? went from a full burn at 8 minutes ten seconds to the fire being fully out and warm to the touch by ten minutes. Me thinks a little video editing was done
Thanks? for this ... Thanks? for this extremely informative video.
This looks like a very versatile stove with several improvements over the previous model.
It is similar to ... It is similar to the BB, however there are minor improvements which make it more adaptable. There are no legal issues? relevant as far as I know.
The Bush Cooker ... The Bush Cooker looks exactly like the? Bush Buddy (except for the holes in the screen/pot holder). Is the Bush Cooker the lincensed European version of the Bush Buddy? Or is it just a copy?
It would probably ... It would probably work okay with a small wok, however if it is the? bigger/normal size I would suggest using the Honey Stove which has a wider base.
Yes very clear demo ... Yes very clear demo, I cook with a wok, do you? think this stove would work well with one???
I just? bought one ... I just? bought one and i am amazed with it! Very clear demonstration. Thanks
sheep...me too but ... sheep...me too but alcohol? stoves are technically
meths burners
Thanks for this vid ... Thanks for this vid. Apart from being a? great product, the idea of cooking Bush is too delicious!
wish I could find ... wish I could find one in a store in the US
too $ to buy/ship from UK? sight
thanks for vid
Neat video. I ... Neat video. I cracked up when you referred to the decagon 'meth stove', as it made me think of a methamphetamine lab here in? the US lol.
The metal is a very ... The metal is a very thin stainless steel and the method of construction results in the item being much stronger as a whole. That said, these kinds of? cookers do benefit from the added protection of being stored inside a cook pot before putting them inside your rucksack.
This is how they were designed to be used and stored within the (for example) Tibetan 1100, Primus 1lt Trek Kettle/Eta Pot and Snowpeak Pot, to name a few.
The metal looks ... The metal looks rather thin on the stove
How solid does it feel?
Will it take the bumps of being in a backpack?
Stainless steel though is often quite flexible?
It's a Tibetan ... It's a Tibetan 1100ml titanium pot that we sell. Sold under various names around the world by people who have rebranded them.?
