85 - The Ultra-Light Wood Stove (Hobo Stove)

Excellent item. Original. Fast delivery

I got the 239. Unfortunately I haven't been able to take it out yet but its real. It came in the same exact packaging (the cardboard folder with German packaging words on it) that the pot stand I ordered directly from the picogrill website came in. The grill also came with the proper envelope style case. I intended to make a review after a full test but that trip got canceled. Im making this now bc this is a really nice grill and the reviews about it being fake only bc it’s not direct from the manufacturer website based on a ytube video do not do this justice.

This is a medium-sized, collapsible camp stove made of pieces of precisely cut, thin sheet metal. It folds up completely flat and fits in an included nylon velcro pocket, but when you push the two edges together, they cause the round base of the stove to tuck into slots on both sides, keeping it open in a roughly oval shape. It comes pre-assembled and that is the only thing you need to do in order to use it.The weight of the stove is negligible but the round shape of the opened design makes it incredibly sturdy. A lot of the value of this product as a hiking and camping tool comes in it's extremely low weight and flat storing capability. For an ultralight camper or hiker, this product is a competitive price and incredibly valuable.We experimented with this product using small branches from a downed tree, as well as a few pieces of store-bought charcoal. It is easy to start a fire inside this stove because it is wide open, and there are also several different access holes along the sides. If you had a nice long charcoal lighter you could just stick it into one of the slots and light your fire that way. Once it is going strong, it burns consistently because of the great air exchange allowed through the design. You can boil a whole pot of water on this stove, or you can use it as a source of heat for several people. It also saves wood and resources because it can do anything a larger fire can do, but takes much less would to burn. It also cools down within minutes being that it is made of thin metal that does not store heat.Overall this is definitely a purchase I can recommend for those who like to do camping or even long day hikes. It is easy to set up, and it is equally easy to take it down once the fire is out and it cools. The fact that it folds down flat means it can be transported in any sized backpack. With heat and cooking being absolute essentials for a camper, this product is one of the most important purchases you could make for small camping setups.

I have never seen these before, is the first style I've ever seen and it is awesome. I don't care if it is a knock-off, it is extremely affordable and awesome.This has to be the best design ever for a camping/hiking fire pit. It folds up so small and lightweight you literally don't even know you have it on you. It fits in the compartment with my water bladder in my hiking bag. And weighs only a couple ounces or so. If I need a fire pit, I have it.It is a great design, but it is made out of Fairly thin metal, so it will not last forever. But, Pro tip: when you first receive yours, disassemble and you can trace out all of the pieces until your own sheet metal, then cut it out with tin snips and you have a thicker copy, and if you do it twice and only assemble one, you have a permanent template to continue making them at home.For the price, it is definitely worth what you are getting. Perfect design, super lightweight, and extremely useful, possibly even life-saving. Highly recommended.

I have researched this grill a little and was thinking to buy--then they raised the price. So no go now. Appears to be a decent light weight grill. I think this company has a good different grill, would like the chance to purchase or review but not after raising the price. I would happy to give a full review if the company contacts me! 5/22: Found out later this is only a copy, just a very good copy. Original is more than twice the price. I see where selling stove again. UPDATE: After using this stove for over 1 year I have this to be an excellent light weight compact grill. I have this same grill purchased overseas and I can find their performance is the same. I have had in excess of 100 fire in both. They still both perform perfectly.

I have been using this stove for some time. It is a very compact (folds flat) and lightweight stove. It assembles (unfolds) easily and is just as easy to fold flat again. One caution is to ensure you set it up on a non-combustible surface as it does not have a base or ashpan. You can see a comprehensive review of this stove on the YouTube channel "Mark Young"
