Use

A hobosto stove is fueled by dry twigs and branches fallen on the ground. In Finland, they can be picked freely in most places, but check your country’s regulations regarding wood use and firemaking. The stove is more fuel-efficient than a campfire and basically leaves ashes behind, which can be buried when cooled down (if that is allowed in your region).

In the large stove, you can also use vertically placed pieces of firewood after you’ve created embers with twigs. The vertical fire lasts a lot longer than a regular campfire.

Features

Draw seven stove parts and laser cut them from sheet steel. That's what we are selling here, no fancy stuff. Works with most cups and pots and is very stable.

Please note: these are laser-cut and the edges aren't rounded. Both sizes come with an M05 camo-patterned pouch that has a belt loop for a max 45 (1.75") belt and a 25 mm (1") D ring. The smaller stove also fits in some Admin pouches very well. You can also round the edges to make the pieces friendlier to flimsy civvie pouches and pockets.
