Woodgas Camping Stove XL
July 12, 2010 Camping Propane Stoves
This is my new Woodgas Camping Stove XL. It just arrived today. This is the larger version, runs on 2 AA batteries and has 2 speeds. The entire stove is stainless steel and appears to be well made for a stove. My battery wire plug was dead out of the box and I had to modify it to get it to work. I love this stove. it is too heavy for backpacking but for emergencies and sustenance living it is awesome. It boiled 2 cups of water in a heavy steel pot in under 3 minutes on high.

Does it create a lot of soot on the pot? Nice stove
very little if any. if you use really good fuel like wood pellets and let it start fully gassifying it does not leave any. the gassification process burns 99+ % of the fuel including what would have been soot.
Much appreciated :0)
Place a swith on your cord you could maintain exactly the flame you want. The larger stove is advantageous when you are using field stock to burn with the larger mouth you can add larger pieces of fuel saving time allowing you to do other things rather than break down biomass. Knowing this I am between getting a pair of large or small stoves may get one of each. I have the alcohol stove and stability is an issue WG stove is very stable and reliable use lint/wax as a starter just spark to ignite.
nice review
I took deliver of one of these today and agree with you about the battery box. Mine is fine, but I’ll probably upgrade it by putting a switch or rotary knob in there for infinitely variable heat. Other than that, this thing gets up to heat in no time at all and throws out some amazing heat. You can see it took some doing to get it just right.
Thanks for this, got a couple of questions.
1. Is it ok to start the fan at high speed?
2. If you want to simmer down the cooking, will it continue to burn if you pull off the cord?
whats the cost, what if you run out of batteries?
hey ive got a Q. if there isnt any smoke coming out does that mean that this is gassification
yes. this is a full gassification stove. some people complain about having to use batteries but it will run for more than 8 hours continous on 2 AA batt.s as long as you keep adding wood. I am going to get the smaller version this year.
battery pack? wtf
yes battery pack. 2 AA batts. this type of stove has a fan that forces the air into the heating chamber. Fully gassifying biomass is almost impossible without forced air. you could use a solar panel but only with sunshine. this is the fastest stove I have ever used in reguards to boil times, it can beat any isobutane on the market, but it is certainly a different type of stove.
If you decide to reverse-engineer this stove, will you post the instructions here on how to build it, so we can also do it?
Can you also tell us where you bought this and how much it costs? (for those who don’t want to make their own.)
