EDCBox Micro Stove

Klein, praktisch, gut 👍

Handy piece of kit to have. I lay down either a piece of tin foil or cut a section from a spare MSR Wind/Heat Deflector sheet to place on the stove base to help in cleanup and prevent sludging and residue cleanup from the Esbit cubes. I encircle the stove with a sectioned three piece wind deflector or place it with three bricks surrounding it which can also serve as a base for pots and kettles. Don’t leave home without it.

So I bought this little stove years ago and it comes along with me on every camping trip and hiking outing. I have often used it as a secondary stove- it's heating my coffee while I'm cooking on a larger stove. It's robust, well made and is a legitimate stove in it's own right. I have a few suggestions for the company though on how to improve it.
1) ship it in an Altoids tin. You can then set the stove in the tin so that ashes or esbit liquid doesn't fall out of the stove and burn the picnic table or ground that you've set it on.
2) Include a non perforated floor to the stove so esbit as it melts doesn't drip below the stove, out of reach of whatever you are trying to heat
3) fabricate an alcohol stove that would fit within this stove- either carbon felt and a double tall tea light style container, or a legitimate siphon style alcohol stove. Something that would be capable of holding 1.5oz of fuel. You may have to remove the lower grate n order to fit a stove that would hold this capacity.
4) ok, so this one isn't really necessary but would be nice. Could you make it in titanium? It is plenty light already. Titanium wouldn't save that much weight, but it is a very nice metal and it doesn't get rusty like the steel version can after it's been used hard for years.
Great stove!

I carry it every day with an enamel mug and have used it with a mess tin to cook many meals. I love it.

Prima für den Schreibtisch mit der Teelichtheizung. Mit Baumstämmen testen verbietet mir meine Bequemlichkeit. Schön wäre ein professioneller „Teelichtspiritusbrenner“ für draußen a7Mh7

It's was a gift, but the person who I gave it to, just loved it
It's very practical and easy to use

Great little stove for making a hot beverage on the trail, I did not think it would work but to my surprise it worked great, I used mini fire starter stick from uco (they look like little Christmas trees) to start and maintain fire easily for a nice brew.

I honestly bought this stove out of curiosity as opposed to functionality and have been quite surprised by how much I use it.

Although I don’t think burning wood in this little stove is practical, I have found that using two esbit/ hexamine fuel tabs is enough to heat my Snow Peak mug enough to have a hot drink on the trail.

The other day I was on a hike with my Stanley thermos and was annoyed by how heavy my pack was. So the next day I substituted the thermos for this little stove and my titanium mug. Best idea ever! Not only did this save a tremendous amount of weight, but it also saved a ton of space!

I keep finding funny uses for this tiny stove and would definitely recommend it to someone who wants a hot drink on the trail.

*side note: I can store four fuel tabs in a pill bottle and stow the stove and a lighter with the bottle along with a couple packets of hot cocoa in my mug.

Bought this as kind of a joke, but I was pleasantly surprised when I boiled a cup of water with wood.
I use it with a stove called the Choke Hazard Turbo from a small US based seller minibulldesign.com. works really well with its size.
I used a candle in it to keep a meal hot one time.
Tip if your using wood, I used a pocket bellows and it got hot enough to get that cool blue burned look from real use.

Great EDC stove. It's micro size best suits the use of esbit tablets in order to produce a better flame output. Can boil water for tea and if used with a small solo sized fry pan, it will cook a small meal. It's going to be my constant companion out in the woods and fishing trips. Well done Bushcraft Essentials. You make good quality and functional products. Will be ordering the LF model next for longer outdoor trips.

Tatsächlich kleiner als ich erwartet habe aber... Und dieses aber ist groß. Es ist nicht nur der kleinste Hobo-Kocher, er funktioniert auch. Zuerst hatte ich Probleme ihn mit Holz zum laufen zu bringen. Dies lag aber nicht am Kocher, sondern einerseits am feuchten Holz und andererseits an mangelnder Praxis meinerseits. Nach zwei, drei Anläufen: der Kocher brennt und funktioniert perfekt. Habe mein Teewasser heiß bekommen. Man muss nur fleißig genug nachfeuern. Mit Esbit gehts sowieso. Dazu habe ich den kleinen umgedreht und die Topfhalter an den Seiten in den Spalt gegeben um etwas mehr Abstand zwischen Esbit Tablette und Becher zu bekommen. Haut auch hin. Das Teil ist schnell und unkompliziert aufzubauen, ist tadellos verarbeitet und funktioniert. Der Service von bushcraft essentials ist auch perfekt. So soll es sein. Fast hätte ich vergessen: wird in einem schönen, stabilen Beutel geliefert, passt in jedes Hosentascherl. Zusätzliches Feature: ist so gelocht, dass es mittels Schnur oder Karabiner an der Gürtelschlaufe oder Rucksack befestigt werden kann.

A great robust product that should stand years of use and yet is small enough to take with you literally everywhere you go!

Der Kleine ist so effizient um mit 6 Kleinen Esbit-Sticks in 10 Minuten eine Primus Tasse voll Wasser zum Kocken zu bringen. Habe mir dann ne' Hühner-Nudelsuppe zubereitet. Ich habe schon die Budhbox XXL und bin auch vollauf begeistert!

which case it is even smaller than an Esbit system. Just for warm up purposes, a tea candle fits perfectly.

I tried it with wood a few times (and on my video review on Amazon UK) and then it is not that easy but manageable. It does demand constant attention though for lack of space to fit your combustible material. And yet despite its tiny size, it can hold a whole pan steadily. It is very stable.

You receive it with a nylon pouch which is so small it will fit in a fat wallet indeed. But should you not want to use the pouch there are holes in all the pieces so that you can put them on a cord. It is conceived so as to be usable with a knife that will fit right under it to change its place. The walls of the stove protect your fire from the wind while the decorative holes provide enough oxygen to keep it going. The trivets help you set your pots steadily on it whether on a flat or slope surface.

I'm going to try wood pellets, should work fine.

Definitely a perfect item for a very compact EDC. Now for a long trek and water disinfection purposes, I would choose the XL also from Bushcraft Essentials because it is a lot easier to use.

This is perfect with a choke hazard turbo stove for a quick cup of coffee.

Amazing little stove, which is so tiny and light that it really does fit in a wallet. I've tried it with wood, and it will boil water or heat soup, but needs a lot of tending. Pine cones work, if crumbled up, but really it is better with esbit tablets. Candle (tea light) won't really heat anything, but is useful as a light at least

Excellent quality product, but slow shipping.
[Comment by Bushcraft Essentials: We ship on the same day or at least on the next working day. But shipping to other countries may take time, depending on country and postal service - it is beyond our control how fast customs and national postal services are.]

Great little stove for a quick coffe and soup/noodles.
I tried it with alcohol - using a simple alu bottle cap reaching to 2/3 the height of the front opening with a small windshield it boiled 0.5 liter water at 12 celsius in a GSI stainless steel pot with a cover in 8.5min,
total burning time being 18 min ! btw the trvets were not used.
I believe a more effective mini alcohol burner could do it even better.
Increasing the stove dim so that the inner space would be cca 6x6cm and a hole for an eventual silicone tube (remote alcohol burner) -where the flame logo is - would be a killer for short trips for two persons.
I have the XL too, but this is something else.

what a stove talk about portable

It took a while to arrive but with the distance and time of the Year(Xmas)But the product I am very impressed with, Which could fit your wallet,easy to put together,very sturdy, Ideal for a quick Brew whilst out on trek.

Great compact stove. Does exactly what it's supposed to. Would recommend to anyone. Great service too.

Good little stove, have just tested it, I go wild camping so this is will a great piece of kit to have so handy it really is, thank you

Great little product

Great item. Excellent customer service.

I thought they had sent me a bookmark it was so compact. I put it together easily and there you have a small functioning stove. I am now looking for a suitable cooking utensil and in the spirit of lightness and being compact I think I shall settle on a titanium mug even though it will probably deal with larger pots. I have put 4 stars for use as i haven't used it yet.

Alas, a truly remarkable micro stove that when dismantled does not take any room, and conveniently packs flat. Better still when in use burns at a high temperature and can use almost any solid fuel.

Schnuckeliges Teil. Kleiner und schwerer als so rein vom Bild her erwartet. Ein Teelicht passt grade so satt rein. Damit wird das Teewasser in der Tasse dann auch ziemlich warm. Der Einpersonenespressokocher, den ich habe, hat keinen durchgängig flachen Boden - daher steht er auch nicht auf dem Mikrokocher, weder auf dem Kocher direkt noch auf dem Aufsatz. Ist aber nicht Fehler des Mikrokochers sondern wenn schon des Espressoteils. Versand und Verpackung: superschnell und gut. Der Mikrokocher ist solid, steht gut, sieht gut aus. Mit Holz, Esbitwürfeln und Sprit muss ich ihn noch testen. Für einen selbst gebauten Spritbrenner muss ich erst noch die passend kleinen Dosen finden. Habe mir gerade eben den nächst grösseren Kocher bestellt.

Arrived really fast and set it up a few times at home before taking it out for a wander in the forest. I used a Dragon Fire solid fuel cube inside a candle tea light holder which fits perfectly. Used about half a cube and half a cup of water to make a hot cup of tea. Came to the boil really quickly. The beauty of it is it fits inside my cup with the fuel cube and lighter. Taking up no space at all! Still to try it with natural burning materials, but very impressed. Next time out I will try cooking on it with my billy can. Go on, get it, as everybody should have one! I love it.
