We recommend UK orders are placed by 4pm Monday 16th December to catch the last post/ courier. Obviously we are only as good as our carriers, and at this time of year poor weather / volumes of mail can cause extra delays. So as always, the key is to get in early. Running a bit late? […]
We often get asked what the difference is between our different rocket stove models: namely our signature EzyStove; the Horizon; and EcoZoom. Factory-produced rocket stoves have the edge over home-made stoves in terms of durability, strength and stability. But what’s to choose between different models? There is little difference between them in terms of combustion performance and efficiency: they are […]
In November we announced that we had received a shipment of Wild Woodgas Stoves with a minor manufacturing error that resulted in them being about 6mm taller than usual (about the width of a thin pencil). Otherwise perfect in every way, we offered them at half price rather than see them binned by the manufacturer. It was a large […]
It’s that time of year when camping gets put away for another year. Of course, all of our stoves are great for year-round use, but even being made of cast-iron or stainless steel, a little care during wet weather goes a long way. Avoid the disappointment of reaching for your stove or BBQ next spring only to find a rust hole […]
People often ask me what wood ash is, and if it is somehow a reflection of the quality of combustion efficiency. It’s an interesting topic, and important for small stoves whose performance can be affected by excess ash. As I understand it: ash is the residual mineral component of wood that cannot be burned (at least not at temperatures […]
Technical enquiry I’m interested in purchasing your Wild Woodgas MKIIt Camp Stove. Just to clarify, is the stove designed by you? And is it manufactured in the UK? Wild Stoves response Thank you for your enquiry. We were approached about 6 years ago by a young man from China who claimed to have developed a compact stainless […]
Our Uuni 2S Pizza ovens have been flying off the shelves this Spring. The feedback has been amazing, thanks for your tales and pictures. We do occasionally get some questions about the initial set up and this post answers some of the most common queries. The Uuni 2S now ships with this Quick Start Guide, […]
Customer question I’ve been using a knockoff version of your stove from eBay. After some months’ use, the fire box floor is rusted through and showing cracks between the holes. Is there any reason (metallurgical or thickness-related) for your product to last longer than its cheap imitations? Wild Stoves Technical Response We get asked about […]
Customer question: Can you burn coal in the Windy Smithy stoves, or just wood? Technical Response: Coal burns hotter than wood, which means coal-burning stoves are built to withstand higher temperatures. Coal also needs slightly different air supply for optimal burning, The Windy Smithy stoves are very-much wood burners, and burning coal in them could cause […]
Customer question I’ve been looking at purchasing a rocket stove for some time and considering either the EzyStove or the EcoZoom Versa. I’d be using it mainly at home and occasionally camping but portability is less of an issue over the cooking efficiency and heat it generates. I’ve not been able to find any reviews […]
