Let me preface my review with the understanding that this little stove is not a viable cooking source. It is somewhat of a novelty compared to a functional tool, but it is pretty cool nonetheless.First off, the quality of materials is surprisingly high given that I bought this thinking it would be as sturdy as a soda can. The pieces are heavy gauge steel and fit together perfectly. Hats off on overall metal quality and fit.The carrying pouch wasnt a cheesy piece of fabric either. It is pretty heavy nylon with a velcro tab that keeps everything in place.I couldnt get this to burn twigs very well. It may be because it is winter here and things are a little moist or because the air flow was limited given the height of the holes in the stove. Whatever the reason, twigs were challenging. So I took an Esbit solid fuel tab and placed it in the stove and it functioned perfectly. After placing 1 cup of water on the stove, it took about 2.5 Esbit tabs to heat it up enough to make a hot drink and a little more to get the cup boiling.Next step is to test a tea candle as suggested in other reviews to see if i can do any better with that.This would be a great tool for a quick hike that you want a hot drink on to enjoy while taking a break. But I wouldnt want to try and cook a meal with it given its limited size.If you are looking for a larger stove, I might suggest a Vargo (probably my favorite wood burning stove) or an Emberlit (very similar design to this).Either way, its a fun little stove.Adding a follow up to this stove.Tea candles do work but take forever which frustrates me but it could work in a pinch. So I will stick with solid fuel tabs.Last fall I used this stove for a few hot drinks on the trail after two previous days of hiking with a heavy thermos. I don’t think I’ll ever carry a thermos again after realizing that this stove fit inside my titanium cup with a pill bottle full of fuel tabs, a Bic lighter, and some tea / sugar packets.I am currently working on an emergency kit for back-country survival for my daughter so I just ordered her one today.The more time I spend with these things, the more I like them!

A great little tool. Well machined, simple to assemble and so small. I was initially quite skeptical about its capability given the size. Popped a mess tin on top of it with one single cube of Esbit solid fuel.... Water to the boil in 7 minutes on the one cube which was more than enough for a cuppa.Keep one in my work bag alongside two fuel tablets. One to make a brew, one to heat a tin of soup or ready meal kit.

Well made. Good quality, very very tiny lol. Go with the bigger brother. It does fit fuel tabs very well and folds remarkably flat. No 5 * only because if the cross bars were recessed a little more it would be more stable as a cooker.

This stove is extremely small, but it works. I'd recommend a windscreen around it, but I carry it as a backup and have a screen anyway. It is very well-made and well thought out. It's light, but durable with a carabiner hole in each panel/piece that makes it a breeze to clip it together (just get a small keychain biner to do the job... those holes are small, too).EDIT (new paragraph): I've created a new use for it; I use a Mini Tattoo Stove, a tiny, carbon wick, alcohol stove with a remote feed line and fuel bottle. The stove stands about 1.5 inches high and has about the same diameter. It sits nicely on the platform of Pocket Stove and the hose feeds through the fire logo cut out on the open side. It's actually a perfect pot stand for the Mini Tattoo Stove and would work on other similar small stove burners made by cottage vendors. Additionally, with it being wood-friendly, it works in either capacity -- as a wood stove or as a stand for your ultralight remote feed alcohol stove. One reviewer noted it was "novelty" sized and I admit, it's really too small to bring a large 1 or 1.5 liter pot to a boil. I'd call it perfect for pots that hold up to 700 ml of water or cooking in a small, one-person skillet. The Stanley stainless steel camping pot is a good choice, as is a 700 ml titanium pot. Avoid short, wide pots, like the MSR Titan. It's the wrong shape for this stove. (end EDIT)As far as function, it does what it should. Small sticks and other flammable bits are loaded in, they burn and your pot cooks. The usual caveats about wood stoves apply here... it creates soot when using organic material and it can and will soot up your pans, but I got used to that years ago when I first started camping. You can find some good tips for mitigating this online. It also works with solid fuel tabs, too, so it could be a substitute for your primary stove if you use esbit/hexamine tablets. Packs perfectly flat and is very sturdy when placed on a flat, solid surface. Again, I reiterate that you will want some wind protection from the windward side at least (this could be a rock or something else, but I still recommend a windscreen).I am a bit of a stovaholic this is one of my favorite woodies. Bear in mind that if you cook for more than one, you might want to go with the larger size.I love it as a backup to my alcohol stove and am glad I purchased it.

First shipment got lost in holiday mail. I received a request to review stove early January. I let them know I had not received it yet. Cust Svc rep said if it had not arrived in X # of days to let him know. I waited a few more days and on Jan 9th let their customer service guy know it had not arrived. He immediately shipped another stove, No Charge. It got here in 6 days. For the customer service alone, they deserve the 5 Star rating. Quality of materials and workmanship earns the 5 Star rating as well. Stove comes with nice instructions for assembly and care. It was easy to assemble, but if you have problems there are plenty of videos on YouTube to show how to assemble the stove. I have not fired it up yet but have no doubt it will work fine. Had already checked out YouTube Videos prior to ordering. Stove should last a lifetime plus with a little care. Quality materials, quality workmanship, outstanding customer service. I would definitely recommend this to a friend and purchase from this seller again without hesitation. I may order another to keep in the car for emergencies.

... mit diesen Worten ist im Grund alles gesagt, aber ein paar Details schaden nicht:Die EDC-Box ist (neben der Bushbox) bereits mein zweiter Hobo von Bushcraft Essentials und ich bin von beiden Kochern gleichermaßen begeistert. Die EDC-Box ist zwar gerade einmal so groß, dass ein Teelicht hineinpasst, aber mit dem richtigem Brennstoff (zum Beispiel Holz oder einem kleinen Spiriusbrenner) gibt die kleine Kiste ordentlich Gas! Zum Wasserkochen und Aufwärmen von Fertiggerichten reicht die kleine EDC-Box allemal. Bei größeren Kochvorhaben ist allerdings die Bushbox einzupacken - gerade dann, wenn man zu zweit unterwegs ist.Das Material, aus dem die Box gefertig ist, macht einen hochwertigen Eindruck; dementsprechend klappt das Zusammenstecken der Teile sehr gut. Der aufgebaute Hobo klappert und wackelt nicht (abgesehen vom nur aufgelegten Topfkreuz) - ein Auseinanderfallen oder Umkippen ist nicht zu befürchten, sofern man keinen überdimensionalen Topf draufstellt. Beim und nach dem Beheizen der EDC-Box hat sich nichts verzogen, der Stahl hat sich nur etwas verfärbt, was bei den Temperaturen im Hobo jedoch völlig normal ist und der Funktionalität keinen Abbruch tut.Die EDC-Box kann - wie bereits in der Produktbeschreibung angeführt - mit Holz, Esbit oder mit einem Teelicht betrieben werden. Das Teelicht eignet sich jedoch nur zum "Warmhalten" von heißen Getränken oder ähnlichem. Holz als Brennstoff heizt hingegen ganz ordentlich ein, führt jedoch dazu, dass die Innenseiten der Box verrußen; das gibt beim Auseinanderbauen natürlich schwarze Finger! Wer den Hobo nach jeder Befeuerung also nicht mit einem Tuch entrußen möchte, sollte sich einen kleinen Spirituskocher basteln, den man sich einer kleinen Haarspray-Dose herstellen kann (Kosten: 50 Cent). Dazu im Internet einfach mal "Spirituskocher für den Hobo-Zwerg" eingeben, man findet dazu etliche Videos.Fazit: Die EDC-Box gehört in jeden Outdoor-Rucksack, was bei dem Gewicht auch kein Problem darstellen sollte. In ihre Einzelteile zerlegt passt sie in eine kleine Pfefferminz-Dose und dazu hinein passen sogar noch ein kleines Feuerzeug, zwei Wattepads (als "Grillanzünder") und zwei Esbit-Brennstofftabletten - fertig ist das Notfall-Kochset.Ich würde die EDC-Box jederzeit wiederkaufen - sicherlich auch eine gute Geschenkidee.Der Versand - obwohl er nicht durch Amazon erfolgte - verlief im Turbomodus. Freitagmittag bestellt, Samstagmorgen im Briefkasten! Hobo und Versandkosten sind also jeden Cent Wert!
