Camp Buddy Natural Draft Firewood Camp Stove

Stove holds about 900 cc of wood pellets when filled to bottom of "cone" section at top of burn chamber. Took about 5 minutes to start burning wood gas at high output when I used a postage stamp sized piece of a fiber/wax fire starter laid on top of wood pellets to light the stove.This stove isn't adjustable for primary or secondary air flow, and was rather smoky/sooted pans excessively when burning compared to some of my home made or modified small Chinese TLUD wood burners. It could use more secondary air flow at top of burn chamber and a short unvented section for more draft in my experience- As it is permanently assembled, modifying stove by changing air flow isn't really possible. I did try adding a short section of 4" steel tube set above burn chamber inside pot support, this helped reduce smoke and increased burn rate a good bit.With a 900cc fill of pellets, stove does burn for over 1.5 hours with a high flame output and nearly a half hour more at a low burn with the remaining charcoal.Be aware, except for the pot support this stove is permanently assembled. If any ash or bits of charcoal fall through the burn chamber air holes, they will end up between the burn chamber and the metal jacket around burn chamber be very hard to remove.

Great compact camp stove. Very durable.
