Collapsible Wood-Chip Camping Stove 22 × 15 × 15 cm, 2 mm Steel

A compact cooking fire for camp, fishing trips, and picnics

This small wood-chip stove provides a practical place to heat food or prepare a simple outdoor meal without carrying a bulky brazier. It burns dry wood chips and small pieces of firewood, so the fuel can be fed in manageable portions as the meal cooks. Suitable camping cookware can be positioned above the fire, including a pot, cauldron, or frying pan. The format works well for boiling water, reheating prepared food, or cooking a modest portion at an outdoor stop.

When assembled, the stove measures 22 cm high with a 15 × 15 cm footprint. Its cooking area is intended for compact cookware rather than a large camp kitchen. The stove weighs 2 kg, an important detail when distributing equipment between backpacks or planning a walking route. For car camping, fishing, or a fixed picnic site, the compact footprint makes it easy to allocate a dedicated cooking space.

Flat-panel construction with open access to the fire

The body consists of separate steel panels that fit together without tools or extra fasteners. Once the metal has cooled, the stove can be taken apart so the panels occupy less storage space. Rows of openings are arranged around the walls, while a large side window provides access to the burning area. Short legs raise the body above the supporting surface. This layout is suited to feeding small amounts of wood and maintaining airflow around the fire.

• Body material: steel.
• Steel thickness: 2 mm.
• Assembled dimensions: 22 × 15 × 15 cm.
• Weight: 2 kg.
• Support strip size: 18 × 3 cm.
• Fuel: dry wood chips and small pieces of firewood.

Setting up the stove and selecting cookware

Assemble the stove only while every panel is cold. Before lighting it, check that the sections are joined evenly, the legs stand firmly, and the body does not rock. Place it outdoors on a stable, non-combustible surface with ample clearance from dry grass, low branches, and other materials that may catch fire. Choose cookware whose base can rest securely on the upper support without slipping when the contents are stirred.

Begin with thin, dry chips and add larger pieces of wood gradually. Avoid packing the fire chamber too tightly: small additions make the flame and heat easier to manage throughout cooking. The steel walls, upper support, and cookware become extremely hot in use, so heat-resistant gloves or a suitable utensil are necessary when working nearby. Do not move the assembled stove while it contains a burning fire, and keep the cooking area attended at all times.

Cleaning, packing, and choosing the right size

After cooking, allow the metal to cool completely before removing ash and leftover wood. Clean residue from the panels, dry every section, and store the stove in a dry location. Packing the sections flat keeps them together with the rest of the outdoor cooking equipment. A separate carrying case may help isolate sooty components, but a case is not confirmed as part of this product. Cookware and other accessories should also be selected separately.

The 22 × 15 × 15 cm model is a sensible choice when a small setup area, collapsible construction, and the ability to use readily available dry wood are the main priorities. If you intend to use a wide frying pan, large pot, or cauldron, compare its base with the stove body and the 18 × 3 cm support strip before use. This simple check helps match the cookware to the compact stove and ensures it can be positioned steadily above the fire.
