I recently took my WoodGas camp stove to a soccer game with my daughter.
I loaded it with fuel pellets and let it burn on a camera tripod. The
weather was cold, rainy and windy. Soon, most of the parents were gathered
around warming their hands at my portable warming station. I was the most
popular parent in the place!
On the low setting, the pellets burned a nice flame for one hour. I
then kept it burning with a few pellets every 5 minutes or so. Don't go
to a cold soccer game without one.

I love to take my motorcycle on camping trips in the Black Hills
of South Dakota. I have taken your stove on many extended trips.
It fits great on my 2000 Ural 2WD motorcycle,
which is pretty loaded down when I'm out for several days. My dad didn't
really think it would work, until he tried it, and now he's a
believer. He threw away his WWII German cook stove, and now uses
nothing but the WoodGas camp stove.

Using a few wood pellets and some saw dust, I was able to get the
stove running well in a minute or two. Then I put on my lunch. Soup
with meat balls! With the stove on high, the soup was boiling in short
order. Then I put the stove on low, and it made a nice cooking
fire for about 30 minutes. Then I dumped out the ashes and it was cool
about 15 minutes later.
I'm pleased with your stove, and will enjoy taking it on my next camp out.

I use this stove practically every day. It always performs
no matter what fuel I try - and I've tried many: pellets,
plum seeds, split wood, pine cones and grasses.
About a year ago, the stove saved my life. I was on a kayak
on a North Idaho river early in spring. After capsizing in the
river, soaking all my clothes and sleeping bag, and developing
hypothermia, I spent a subfreezing night huddled over
10,000BTU of WoodGas heat. It was one of the worst nights of
my life - and I've seen a few. But the stove gave me the heat
to survive until morning.
Thanks for a great stove!

I liked the stove so much, I wanted to use it around the house for barbeque.
I cut a hole in the bottom of a grill, filled it with wood pellets,
and it ran for over an hour on low power. Perfect heat and perfect time
for BBQ. No more charcoal to purchase!
Ribs and corn in Korean Sauce - Mmmmm!

Tonight I fired up the new WoodGas Campstove for the first time since receiving
it a couple months ago. For fuel I used some cedar split from 1 x 6 drops from
a fence project. Using a little starting gel the wood immediately lit and after
a few seconds using the low fan setting it was producing a great cooking source.
In several minutes I had brought some leftover chili to a good edible temperature.
I plan to use this stove mainly for expeditions by motorcycle. With this stove,
the problem of transporting flammable fuel will be eliminated.

Just thought I let you know I tried out the woodgas campstove today. I loved
it! I cooked 4 hambergers on it in about 20 minutes.
One thing that amazed me, was how fast the heat came up, less than 2 minutes
after we lit it, we had the frying pan on it, and it cooked away wonderfully.
It burned up all the fuel in about 15 minutes and just to see how it worked, I
reloaded the unit with wood chips. It smoked for a minute or so, so we dropped
another lighted match in the top, and everything came up a nice flame and it
worked nicely for another 15 minutes with nice clean burning, little or no
smoke.
When it was done, I dumped out the remaining ash and let the unit cool.
Start to finish, everything took less than 45 minutes. Amazing.

I love this bullet-proof little stove. I had a huge smile on my face the
whole time I was playing with it. By the way, "playing" is a misnomer -
this is serious equipment. It's well worth the $50 bucks or so to have
this as an emergency stove or heat source in your survival kit (though you
need to treat this like any open fire and watch out for carbon monoxide,
especially indoors). Comes with a one-year limited warranty too.

The stove burned the fuel evenly and made a great flame for cooking. We
easily cooked two pans of hamburgers on one stove-full of fuel. I also
quickly boiled water for coffee.
As I walked around the park, all I could think of was how much fuel there
was for the stove. And to think that one medium branch was enough to cook
dinner.
Congratulations on making a great, fuel efficent stove.
