Wild Stoves: Wood-fuelled camping stoves & campfire cooking

✨We’re very excited to announce our latest partnership with @firepotfood. Delicious dehydrated meals, hand made from real food, here in Dorset! . We’ve been out secretly testing and tasting their range of amazing meals up and down the country, in sun and rain, on a range of our stoves. My money’s on the Vegan Dal & Rice, and the Beef Stew. They are ~delicious~. . Having heard about these meals I had high expectations (always dangerous) but can honestly say they were exceeded. . Firepot meals are nutritious, healthy and ethical. They contain no palm oil or artificial preservatives, and there are meat and vegan ranges. AND their meals come in 100% compostable packaging (as pictured right on Eype beach). . Check out the full range on our site (link in bio) https://wildstoves.co.uk/product-category/firepot-dehydrated-meals/ . @Firepotfood #fuelledbyfirepot #compostablepackaging #dehydratedfood #backpackingfood #dehydratedmeals #wildstoves #expeditionfoods #eype #eypebeach #jurrassiccoast

I wasn’t expecting to be having a barbecue this evening when I woke up this morning in a grey rain storm. . I’m sure the meat tastes better for having made my own charcoal... A dash of self-satisfied smug. . #diycharcoal #charcoalstove #charcoalbbq #chargrilled #wildstoves #homemade #homemadecharcoal

Pizza? Naah, make mine a calzoni... . Out with the Ooni 3 pizza oven again... (No, this wasn’t today or it would have been quite a soggy one). . #uuni3 #uunipizzaoven #oonipizzaoven #ooni3 #wildstoves #calzoni #woodfiredpizza #woodfiredoven #woodfiredpizzaoven

If every adult in Bridport spent £5 per week in their local shops, an extra £4.5 billion per year would stay in the local economy. More jobs, a better high street, and a nicer place to live. . We’re proud to be a part of #FiverFest, bringing £5 deals to local customers, raising the profile of our vibrant local businesses. 🌏 Now I realise that most of you - our treasured 12.5k Instagram and Facebook followers - can’t pop by our office to grab some firelighting gel or a spork. But the message behind this is as important online as it is on the high street. . Why do I think it’s worth supporting independent specialist businesses? Because we do things differently: . - we are run by real human experts, and our in-depth knowledge and advice is a phone-call away. - we don’t have ‘chat bots’, phone options or awful music when you call us. We just pick up the phone and talk to you. - we pay living wages to staff, on contracts with decent sick pay and holidays. - we make all our decisions with sustainability and ethics at the core. We refuse to sell products of questionable provenance; reduce waste (even if it costs us more), and buy renewable electricity. - we go the extra mile to get things right. On the rare occasions they go wrong, we take responsibility and sort things out. After all: you know where to find us! - we pay our taxes (no, it’s not rocket science, but not every corporation does!) - we spend money on our high street (Post Offices, printers, fabricators, designers, sign-painters & awning makers!) - we don’t sell or promote pointless objects just to make a buck, or sell things to people who don’t need them. - we don’t copy other people’s products: we have our own ideas and innovate. - we make moderate profit but don’t lodge it in overseas tax havens: we support charities and invest it in keeping the business viable and innovative. . We are here because people choose to use us. Buying from smaller business makes a positive difference in many ways and keeps the virtual and physical high street diverse and independent. . Thank you! 💚 . #fiverfestbridport #totallylocally #totallylocallybridport #shoplocal #shopindependent

Just back from the Green Scythe Fair in Somerset with the roadshow. This is where it all began back in 2010, and we’ve been back nearly every year since. . Yesterday was so busy demonstrating (and selling) rocket stoves, woodgas stoves, pizza ovens, tripods and fire lighting gear ... that I didn’t take a single photograph. So here is one 2014 in a throw-back Monday. . Beautiful to be out and about in fields again with our wares... and with you all. 💚 Nice putting faces to some Instagram IDs as well! . #scythefair #greenfair #greenscythefair #thorneylakes #wildstoves #rocketstove #countrylife #scything

Another delve into the archives with the G-3300 rocket stove, as the snap earlier in the week went down so well! These rocket stoves are on my mind at the moment as we’re selling lots, plus I’ve been loading them up today ready for the Scythe Fair. . I remember shooting this early on in the Wild Stoves story; way back before we had HD video in the palm of our hands, and - judging from the background noise on some of the grainy videos - when we still kept chickens! 🐓 . Trusted companion since 2011… Did I know then the future is orange? (Am I allowed to say that?) . #rocketstove #scythefair #greenscythefair #wildstoves #cookoutdoors #envirofit #dorsetgardens #bonfirekettle #campfirekettle #glamping #glampingnotcamping #glampingstove #belltent
