Coghlan's Stove

Small and compact, but does the job perfectly. I bought an extra set of their fuel source as well. Very pleased

I purchased this to be able to heat water in an emergency situation. It's very compact, so it doesn't take up a lot of space in an emergency kit. The solid fuel is also compact and easy to store. I feel more comfortable with that in my apartment than I would propane or other fuels. Hurricane Fiona gave me the opportunity to test it. The set up was easy. I used a lightweight pot with a tight fitting lid and ensured it was sheltered from wind (used it outdoors on my balcony). I had boiling water in 8 minutes with one fuel pod. Good for a cup of coffee or some instant noodles. The flame can be a bit high to start, but it wasn't problematic (just keep flammable objects away from the stove). It did blacken the bottom of my pot, but that washed off no problem. When the pod was extinguished, it left no residue. I was impressed with its performance. To be clear, this won't be the solution for everyone and you have to consider how you intend to use it and how big your family is to know whether it's the right option for you. For me, it was great. Very happy with this purchase.

My son took this to Reading Festival. Couldn't believe how small it was, but it was great and worked to boil enough water for the groups pot noodles for the whole 4 days. Very happy, and a bargain price

Serves the purpose, which is use as light weight stove for camping or emergencies. Light for BOB, would say it's OK.

da chiuso è compattissimo, si apre con semplicità, ed al suo interno custodisce 24 pastiglie di combustibile solido, e rimane ancora un poco di spazio per inserire qualche altra esca per il fuoco, io ci ho messo del cotone.Da aperto ha due posizioni di bloccaggio, quella intermedia non è solidissima, ma bisogna tenere conto che si rivolge a piccoli utensili da cottura, caffettiere, tazze e pentolini piccoli, poco pesanti quindi, che sorregge senza infamia e senza lode. Alla massima apertura ne beneficia la solidità e le pentole più larghe (e pesanti) trovano il loro posto.Tenete presente che si tratta di un fornello di emergenza, per una o due persone, non è indicato per cucinare per una comitiva.Il metallo di cui è fabbricato non è molto spesso, a beneficio del peso, e della possibilità di raffreddarsi rapidamente, ma è comunque commisurato in funzione dello scopo per cui è stato concepito
