hey perry peacock here with wilderness innovation I want to talk to you today about a product we're very excited about we've got some good friends here that we met this from our area here in Utah and they have developed a unique and kind of an innovative stove designed for backpacking or even preparedness type situations very compact or easy to deploy very easy to use and it can be used with a lot of different type of cooking fuels and all that sort of thing pretty much anything you can imagine you can use so we want to do a little video where we introduce the product here and and also we've been testing it and and we want to add some clips here after this little segment showing you some different things they've done will it show you the stove actually in use and what we've been doing with it and so hopefully you can get excited about it as well so let's introduce to you well the stove is this bait it's made by firebox and comes in this little pouch here it actually come to actually come with a zip bag that that it slides into as well I didn't I didn't bring one of those with me right now but the stove folks flat like this it's only about three eighths of an inch thick this one is 18 gauge stainless steel very tough very durable but as you can see if throw that in your pack or whatever in a in a box storage box or whatever it takes almost no room so you don't have to worry about that and it's very easy to deploy kids or anybody could learn to deploy this thing and to use it very very simply it has a couple of stays right here that pulled over the back that holds everything into place keeps everything from no it's not come on fold it on you until you pull those out they're very easy to got a little catch on it and just pull on them and they pop out and this is a little ash pan that's on here when you open that up pops it off and that goes on the bottom just to catch ashes and coals and now you just undo it unfold like this you phone like this and then right here trying to show you this this thing will just drop down automatically actually but trying to show you this little great here just falls down like that I hold up if I hold it like this it'll fall down I go like that miles right into place this is a little air damper that goes on the on the back side of the stove to help control a little bit of air flow these little stays that it comes with are used in all these myriad of holes that are all the way around the stove it allows you a half an inch increments of adjustment all the way from top to bottom so if you want to put some other kind of fuel in here like a can of you can put a can of sterno down in here like I did is just slide it in there like that put your can of sterno right down in there put your pan on top and cook with it and you're set to go um you cannot you can use it with just about anything my my deals I probably use the most of time with sticks and things like that so but anyway let's get into get into some other stuff with this show you some demos and kind of how we've tested it and used it in that sort of thing so there you go right there from a little from a little cup all the way to a big pair and you can put it on here it's got a large enough footprint here and you set it down it's very stable you know you put a put an 8 or 12 inch pan on here without any problem cook on it a skillet or whatever if you wanted to and that's sitting on here you can use this the feed hole to feed more heel into their if you use and sticks or something like that

got this going pretty well here let me here's what I i like to use just so I just call them would nuggets just little odds and ends sticks that are just laying around everywhere you just throw a few of those in every so often and and kind of fuels it all up now I'm just going to get into this little bag of this is a freeze dried sausage that you can buy from a lot of those preparedness companies this is from shelf reliance I'm taste really good nice thing about this is this has got a lot of nice really nice spices and everything to it us this going to make me a really nice meal right here in just a few minutes we'll be done and ready to eat alright so we've got it we've let our kohls kind of died down on the fire box though and here we go I almost got too much there we're just using our stays on the top we're using this as a coaster it only took what maybe 30 seconds or so to to toast one side so it's a pretty nice toaster with just a little tiny bit of clothes on the bottom I don't know okay enjoy your time out in the woods perry peacock wilderness innovation have a great day
