Stove Test
Jeremy and I have spent some time today experimenting with our Crusader Mug and stove using natural fuel.
We have a pine tree in our garden and last week we gathered some of the fallen pine cones and dried them indoors. Today we broke one up and used it to boil about two mugs of water – to light it using the fire steel we had to add about a teaspoon of meths to the pine cone bits.
The metal lid for the Crusader Mug was essential, the plastic one that BCB sells would have been damaged by the high flames, it also kept ash that came off the fuel out of the water. (This lid was made for me by The Little Frog Group.)
