THE LATEST WOOD BURNING/BIOMASS CAMPING STOVE DESIGNED BY OUR FRIENDS AT ORIGINAL ENERGY TECHNOLOGY OF CHENGDU.

 NOT ONLY IS IT A FINE THING TO LOOK AT, BUT ITS APPEARANCE IS MATCHED BY ITS BUILD QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE. IT CAN BE FIRED UP IN 30 SECS AND WILL BOIL A LITRE OF WATER IN 3MINS. IT ALSO PERFORMS EQUALLY AS WELL ABOVE 4OOOM. NOT THAT THESE NUMBERS ARE OF GREAT CONSEQUENCE IN A LAID-BACK CAMP SITE – THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN 3MINS AND 4 1/2MINS PROBABLY NOT NOTICED; AND HOW MANY CAMP NEAR THE SUMMIT OF MONT BLANC? WE MERELY GIVE THESE FIGURES TO SHOW HOW SUCCESSFUL THE TARGET OF OPTIMISING THE DESIGN OF THE BURN CHAMBER HAS BEEN. ( IT ATTAINS A TEMPERATURE OF OVER 1000 DEG).

THE SAME CAREFUL THOUGHT HAS GONE INTO THE DESIGN OF THE BODY OF THE STOVE.

 FROM THE TOP: - SUPPORTS WITH A SPAN OF 7”/18CM, ALLOW THE SAFE USE OF 10” PANS. A WINDBREAK CONCENTRATES THE FLAME.  WITH A LARGE GAP TO ALLOW FUEL TO BE ADDED WITHOUT REMOVING THE PAN. THE ONLY MOVING PART, THE FAN, SITUATED IN THE BASE, IS EASILY REMOVED, SHOULD IT EVER NEED REPLACING. STURDY SUPPORT LEGS, WITH PEGS, (SUPPLIED) ENSURE IT IS STABLE. THE FLAT FRONT, WHILE ADDING TO THE APPEARANCE, HELPS PREVENT THE STOVE FROM ROLLING ABOUT IN THE BOOT OF THE CAR. FINALLY, SHOULD IT NEED TO BE MOVED WHEN COOKING, THE AREA BELOW THE HALFWAY RIB REMAINS COOL TO THE TOUCH.

 AND IT’S TOUGH: MADE FROM SU304 AND SU201 STAINLESS STEEL, IT’S  NOT ONE OF THOSE SO FLIMSILY BUILT THAT YOU’RE AFRAID OF DROPPING IT. ( IN FACT IT WILL STAND THE WEIGHT OF A 12ST/ 75KG PERSON – BUT DON’T TRY THIS AT HOME!) IT IS IN USE BY THE CHINESE ARMY, AND A MODIFIED VERSION IS BEING TRIALLED BY THE UNHCR.

 IT IS SUPPLIED WITH: OUR FOLDABLE SOLAR PANEL CHARGED POWER BANK WITH A 2 SPEED REGULATOR; TONGS TO FEED THE FIRE; PEGS FOR THE SUPPORT FEET; AND A BAG.
