Our experience was about the same as in the video - it burned out before we were done cooking. Individual tabs were handy as fire starters though. They're sort of waxy and aren't bothered by getting wet.<br /><br />If you're interested in a wood burning stove, search "wood gas stove." These are designed to burn wood very efficiently by directing air flow in the combustion chamber a certain way. The one in the video might have been a wood gas stove, because it burned hot and without smoke. They can be a bit slow though because you may have to move your pot to add more wood.<br /><br />For vehicle camping I'd probably go with propane myself. It's available pretty much anywhere. If I'm backpacking I'd go for a liquid fuel stove like the Primus he mentioned, or cook over a campfire.<br /><br />I'd have to be pretty desperate to cook over gasoline. Even with unleaded, the other additives in it aren't meant for human consumption. I'd stick with alcohol or Coleman fuel.<br />Dave Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04813274491601970838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-71708737331273238402014-06-08T22:09:34.959-04:002014-06-08T22:09:34.959-04:00http://www.theboilerwerks.com/about/http://www.theboilerwerks.com/about/West, By Godhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11800183473095567803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6322916946732811685.post-25194972547330263072014-06-08T22:08:24.914-04:002014-06-08T22:08:24.914-04:00For wood/found-fuel, I use a Backcountry Boiler.
