Bushcraft essentials - Bushbox XL Titanium

The largest kitchen from Bushcraft Essentials

Bushbox XL is, as the name reveals, the largest of the kitchens from Bushcraft Essentials. Despite its size, the kitchen is assembled in just a few seconds due to the solid hinges in the side. Just fold up the kitchen and the pieces fall into place by themselves.

Bushbox XL Titanium is a solid stove

Here you have plenty of room for wood, charcoal or pellets and the kitchen quickly creates a proper heat over which you easily heat the contents of a saucepan or frying pan with. An alternative to solid fuel is a Trangia liquor burner which makes the kitchen very versatile

Bushbox XL is a convenient solution

Despite its size, the XL takes up very little space in folded condition, only 1 cm in depth x 12.x 19 cm. Since the kitchen weighs only 490 grams, it will be a small, flexible and versatile kitchen that with the right handling will last for many years to come.

Technology behind a hobo stove

A Hobostove is designed to become a self-pull that concentrates the heat to a smaller point, and on the other hand, the fuel is used more efficiently and creates less smoke formation. The fact that you also do not leave traces through a fire directly on the ground can also be positive since these were often used in an urban environment from the beginning. The name Hobo Stove originally comes from the fact that homeless/hobo's made the kitchen out of a used can, where they simply modified the construction into a kitchen. The effect, albeit in a new design, is what is created in modern factory-made and folding kitchens. The bottom line is that you get a small storm kitchen, which effectively lives on small sticks instead of LPG or t-liquor.

Material

Bushbox comes either in a high-quality stainless steel or in titanium. The stainless steel is sturdy, robust and comes at a lower price. Titanium is stronger and weighs less than steel but is slightly more expensive. So if weight is crucial, you should choose titanium. If the weight is not so important and you want to save a few hundred dollars, you should definitely choose the high-quality steel.

How to care for your Bushbox XL Titanium

Always allow the kitchen to cool naturally after use. Never pour cold water on hot steel as it can settle down and make the kitchen difficult to assemble. The same goes for overheating. Burn at a reasonable pace, partly because overheating of the steel can occur, and partly because you consume more fuel than is needed. When cleaning, anything but steel wool can be used (which can leave iron particles and rust). The best natural cleansers are sand or ponytail (a plant, it is actually one of the best materials for cleaning pots, plates, cutlery and metal in general). Indoors, you can use a kitchen sponge or run your stove through the dishwasher.
