More Information

The Litlbug stoves are ultra compact & lightweight wind-shields and pot-supports designed to contain small fires and effectively direct heat to the pot. Pots can also nestle down into the Littlbug to further ensure fire protection and good thermal transfer. The Littlbug senior will accomodate fairly large cooking pots.

Constructed with durable stainless steel, Littlbugs will burn wood best, but can also be used to house an alcohol/ meths burner (like those in a trangia). The Littlbug provides a stable and versatile cooking platform and is uniquely designed to wrap around a sleeping pad when dismantled for easy storage and transport. The senior model is slightly cheaper than the junior because it is made from thicker steel which is easier to work.

Supplied with a custom-made pouch made from black, heavy duty, coated broadcloth for long-lasting utility.

Tips

• In wet and windy conditions you can turn the Littlbug on its side to light a small fire in the wind and rain proof tunnel it creates. Once the fire's going, turn the stove upright with the air holes upwind, and the fire will be largely protected.

What do Wild Stoves think?

Well-made, this senior model is robust though still lightweight enough to easily carry in a backpack and would be great for cooking up larger meals. Once you get the hang of asssembling and dismantling it you come to appreciate what thought has gone into the design.  

Note that while this design will make making cooking on wood more efficient and convenient than over an open fire, it is not a gasifier or rocket stove - it's basically a clever enclosure to contain fire, protect it from wind, and hold pots at a good - and protected - distance from the fire. It will also leave a (small) scorch-mark so careful placement is required.
