Folding Firebox Scout Stove
The Firebox Scout Stove is one the latest innovations from Folding Firebox. Its simple design makes it easy to understand and use yet it remains extremely capable. It can easily run on most commercially available fuels but more importantly it is capable of burning wood as a backup fuel. This simple box and two lids can be arranged multiple ways to accommodate a variety of fuels and or environmental conditions.
The "Wind-Proof Lighter" hole pattern has been calibrated to provide the right temperature for cooking, while maximizing fuel efficiency. The top and bottom lids keep it self-contained and make it possible to store provisions inside. You can keep a fire kit and your fuel supply ready to grab & go!
How to use various fuels with the Scout:
To burn the Firebox Fuel Puck, fuel tablets or other accelerated fuels you’ll want to restrict some of the air flow. Simply use one of the lids to cover the lower row of holes. This slows the fire and makes the fuel last much longer and at the perfect cooking temperature.
For burning wood in the form of twigs and sticks use the lid as a pedestal, this allows you to feed sticks in at an upwards angle. The flame will naturally climb to the ends of the sticks allowing you to feed them in as they burn.
Positioning pins and an easy-to-understand hole pattern make it convenient to use canned fuels like Sterno, alcohol burners like the Trangia, or even a gas burner for using pressurized fuels like propane or isobutane.
The Scout’s specially designed Multi-Fuel Fire Grate (optional) makes it possible to use solid fuel tablets, wood pellets or even charcoal.
To maintain a cooking temperature, place your pan directly on the stove. The calibration of hole pattern, meters exhaust flow to control the heat. If you need more heat for boiling, add the (optional) Accelerator Cross Bars. This provides an additional ¼” exhaust gap all the way around the stove. It supercharges the Scout making it possible to burn a Swedish fire torch, wood pellets, even damp or poor-quality wood. It also makes your Scout Stove work better at high elevations where less oxygen is available.

Great a good little stove a great addition to the family of Fireboxes
There is nothing to dislike seems very versatile
Excellent stove
This is an excellent add on to my camping equipment. So easy to put together, and capable of cooking what ever you throw at it. Fuel it right and you have one of the best friends you can have on your wild camp, or even in the garden with the cost of gas and electricity going up. but this and you won't regret it. The service alone from The Bushcraft Store makes this an item you will enjoy for years to come
Like all the kit I buy here 100%
Not tried it as yet but it is well built very strong, and looks the part for a fast cook on the move. 100% happy
