The Woodland Edge Camping Stove is a heavy stainless-steel stove that comes apart and fits into a bag. This is rather heavy but could be carried in a rucksack, though I usually carry this in the truck when I use this. It is quite simple to fit together and is very strong.
The stove can be used open-topped as in the top photo, using a mess-tin to cook food (rice here). Or it can be used with the grill (supplied) to cook meat, which is very easy.
In this instance I used some charcoal bricks that I carried in the truck with the stove, but wood can be used to save taking these along.
The third way to use the stove is for heat, since it has a small chimney that can be added to the top cover. It has a stand to lift the whole thing off the ground; I put on some bricks found in the woodland. Below is another angle showing the chimney a little better.
The whole thing is quite easy to assemble (providing, of course, you do not lose the instructions as I have done); I had not used it for years and had to work it out again.
****Note - The assembly is not difficult but until it is put together it tends to fall apart at some stages, so be careful since it can give a good pinch. Also, the legs have to be bent in to get them on and they are very strong!
This is a good, strong stove and will certainly cook small pieces of meat, cook in a mess-tin or saucepan, and take a small frying-pan. Obviously, being small, it can only cook using one pan at a time, so not for a full fry-up.
I have not used the heater as yet but I would think that to do so would mean using good quality (local and not from China) charcoal, otherwise it would need filling with wood every few minutes. Charcoal should burn longer.
