I make my living in the backcountry and use the Firebox Stove. It packs easy, assembly is simple, fast and the quality is unmatched. When your 75 miles in the woods and it's -40 you need to get your fire going fast and Firebox gets it done.

I have had my fire box stove for over two years now and it is my main source of cooking. I love how versatile it is. I have used charcoal, wood, wood pellets, gas blocks, Tran Gia. All the different configurations are amazing. And with a Billy can I’ve even made cinnamon rolls in it, and baked a whole chicken. I just love it I can’t imagine using anything else.

Absolutely the Firebox ! Best stove I’ve ever owned

Good comparison. Note that Firebox has a titanium version at half the weight, though at double the price. Further, they have a ‘Nano’ version, which is very lightweight and a fine little stove. Smaller form means you must tend the fire more frequently, but it, like it’s big brother, is hinged and sets up instantly. Though the Nano steel is light, the titanium version is a feather. The steel model you have is bombproof. It will support cast iron, if you’re car camping. Don’t forget that you can use four fire sticks to make a cradle for a billy pot on its side to make an oven. I’m a Firebox advocate, as you might guess. Your Honey Stove is obviously functional, but I’ll go with the Firebox for durability and flexibility.

Excellent! They both have appeal. I just ordered the Firebox, I bought the entire setup for $99.99 the Honey stove is $53.00 depending on where you buy them. I never heard of the Honey Stove. Since I don't worry about weight I chose the Firebox. Very nice video thanks

Straightforward comparison which was very helpful. Nice vid. Thanks.

Well thought thru video as usual Simon. All nicely done, and packed with useful information. Thank you.

Great video as always, thanks for making this Simon. It's made it much clearer and has given me a better understanding of the 2 stoves.

Great comparison Simon. Really thorough - thanks for sharing 👍

Firebox also makes a small folding 4" "Nano" stove in both stainless as well as titanium. Beautiful little stove!

The Company/Manufacturers are Amazing group of People,,, And Yes,,, made in America,,,!!!! I just bought the Titanium Firebox 🔥,,,, it truly solves the weight problem,,,, Cheers my Friend,,, Joshua

Just been sitting out in the garden with my brand new Firebox stove. Very happy with it. Thanks for the video.

Thank you so much for the excellent review of these two wonderful stoves. Well done!

I've been cooking on wood stoves for a few years now and prefer them. I recently bought the Firebox G2 and found this vid an interesting comparison. The Honeystove scores on weight, the sheer mass of the Firebox certainly makes you think twice before a long hike. Where the Firebox wins it for me is because the Honeystove has to be clipped together. Just too fiddly if you are cold or have had too many drinks at camp! Minor issues are I like being able to load the Firebox with a large log split into four. I get a burn time of nearly an hour which means I can cook my food and then put water on for a drink whilst I eat, without having to feed any more fuel. My conclusion is Firebox wins as I normally camp with a motorcycle, so weight not an issue. If I was hiking I would use a Lixada or Solo, both of which I already have. Honeystove would be a good buy for those who don't have a wood burner currently and lightweight campser. Thanks for this video, good comparison.

Shame it's so heavy - a titanium one would be nice, but the stainless was expensive enough!! I know they do a lighter version without all the bells and whistles. I think I'm going to really like it - weight isn't everything! Atb, Simon.

I love my Honey stove, bought one 15 years ago, still going strong..

Great walkthrough, very informative. It was nice to get your personal impressions and see a burn in each stove. I love my Firebox, definitely my goto stove when adventuring with the kids. In that situation the weight is an advantage, pots are stable and when the Firebox is set up and lit that area becomes the kitchen. It really is a campfire in a box! But for solo hiking something lighter is more desirable. The Honey Stove looks like a great option. I especially like a round or hex burn chamber, it seems like the internal convection is better in those stoves than with a square burn chamber. Thanks for posting!

Realy enjoyed your comparison test Simon. Great video. I bought my fire box last August I love it plus the zebra billy cans. Amazing equipment to last a life time. The fire box I've used charcoal for my first burn in travone Cornwall cooking scallops. Then burnt drift wood. Amazing taste. I've now just purchased a trangia stove and some hex blocks. And next on my to list cat lit wood pellets. Such a brilliant stove. I have liked watching all of you videos brilliant information you give out and very useful. Thank you for making them. 👍

I suspect I may too use both on occasions, I won't notice the honey stove next to the kilo of Firebox!! Hehehe! Atb, Simon.

Very nice comparison. You did an excellent job explaining all of the features of both stoves. I have used the Firebox G2 and the Firebox Nano for several years and am very pleased with the robust and flexible nature of both stoves. I have never used a Honey stove, but I wouldn't hesitate to purchase one as a back-up. I am a little late in offering my comments (3 years), but as of now, Firebox offers both models in titanium which answers the weight problem for many bushcrafters. Of course, it is expensive which I think is the major complaint to the Firebox system. But, as you suggest, it is a durable and well made product. But, after watching this video, I might pick up a Honey stove for a lightweight alternative. Thanks for your well done comparison.

Thanks for reviewing my UK designed and manufactured Honey Stove. You are correct in that it is designed to be as simple and as light as possible for lightweight bushcraft and backpacking activities. Since I began producing it in 2007, many new stoves (and copies) have come onto the scene which offer hinges and other options. But the penalty is always weight. Sadly I have yet to find a UK manufacture who can 'roll fold' in (as opposed to 'weld on') hinges on the .5mm Stainless and Titanium material I specify. You may not be aware that there is an expansion module called 'The Hive' which will expand the Honey Stove to 8 sides offering another solution for larger parties. Soot degrading and warping of the hinge pin is a long term problem which may of these 'cheap Chinese' folding stoves suffer from over time. My other UK designed and manufactured product 'The Pocket Stove' has now been sadly copied by Lixada and several other Chinese copy houses and people should be aware that 'cheap' doesn't always mean 'quality' as their poor performance reflects badly on the original UK name. See backpackinglight.co.uk for more details.

I'm a latecomer to the bushcraft world, so I must say that I do like this video. Very informative. I'd heard of Firebox before this but not Honey Stove. There are other stoves like Honey Stove in that they "go to pieces" and are compact/lightweight but you really can't beat the robust construction of the Firebox; that alone counts for a whole bunch in my book. The trangent (?spelling?) stove option with four sides on the Honey is super slick, but it sure does look wobbly/prone to tipping. I'm a bit apprehensive about that. All in all, you've done a great job of pointing out the feature-rich aspect of both stoves, even if you have to buy add-ons for the Firebox and not the Honey. There always seems to be a trade off somewhere. Thank you for your review.

good video mate, well presented...

Thank you - glad you enjoyed it - I’ve since used the firebox loads and really like it - it’s definitely my main stove now. Atb, Simon.

Great video. Firebox also makes the Nano Stove which is smaller and lighter and it now comes in Titanium if you want it even lighter.

I need some of that this winter ❄️ i am allso going to take a forever walk to freedom 😂

Was making coffee and cooking a bit to eat , on my way home from 2 dr appointments, at a roadside park , I picked up a few hickory nuts , and noticed they were old and cracked , I put maybe 5 or 6 in my fireboxstove , talk about a hot fire ! I bought a smaller pressure cooking pot , cant wait to cook mixed beans with bacon on my fireboxstove after it burns down , ive a big aochol burner with a windbreak-pot stand to slow cook

Great video! subscribed :) I was in a place looking for wood stoves a while ago and found outon stoves on amazon, very cheap and not bad quality.
