Place this Hobo Stove™ accessory on to the fire-base of your 'Base Camp' or 'Scout' Kettle to create a highly effective wood fired Camp Stove.
- Safe, easy and fun to use: Creates stable cooking surface for pot or fry pan and the fire is safely contained within the unit.
- Fuel efficient: Heat is directed toward the pot or fry pan on the top.
- Works in all weather conditions.
- Uses any solid fuel.
- Compact & Tough: Packs away inside the Kelly Kettle fire-base.
Directions for use:
- Place the Hobo Stove on the Kettles fire-base with the wide rim of the Hobo sitting on the fire-base.
- Face the circular hole of the fire-base into the wind. Face the large 'feeder' hole in the side of the Hobo Stove away from the wind.
- Add fuel as required via the top, side 'feeder' hole of the Hobo Stove, or via the hole in the fire-base.
- Place any size pot or pan on the Hobo Stove to cook :-)
Allow to cool fully before packing. Just flip the Hobo Stove over and it fits perfectly inside the fire-base!
The fire-base becomes extremely hot and will scorch the ground underneath. So where possible 'leave no trace'' and set up on a non-combustible surface (like sand, gravel, large stone) or use our simple Support under the fire-base to insulate the ground from the heat.
In an emergency, the Hobo Stove can be used without the fire-base if a surface for cooking is needed. Simply place the Hobo Stove on the ground and build the fire inside.
We recommend the Hobo Stove be used with our Stainless Steel fire-bases as Aluminium fire-bases can warp and melt from the intense heat.
Packing small
Many of our accessories pack together saving space. The following all pack: Our 350ml cup > inside 500ml cup > inside the large cook set > inside this Hobo Stove > inside the fire base (Base Camp or Scout) > which inverts up into the bottom of kettle itself! Neat, compact storage!
Cost-FREE to run! Never carry fuel again! Never run out of fuel again! Simply gather deadwood, twigs, dry grass, pine cones or whatever natural fuel you find lying around in the area - and cook your meal.
