Small Wood Stove to take along in my Coaster

G'day Baldbug,

The original one is called the 'Ozpig' & is very popular apparently and is Australian. I have seen them advertised a fair bit & seen them at 4x4 shows, but really don't know how good they are or how heavy. The one you showed is a bit of a copy I think but may work just as good & may be a lot cheaper. Didn't look at the price, but found a link for you.

I like the look of the Wooshka from Bunnings. Like many, the accessories add substantially to the end price. Having said that, the optional water boiler is interesting. It's on my list to consider.

This one is home made. It dismantles & fits in a milk crate. It'll boil 8 lts of water in 10 minutes. I made the door big enough to fit a piece of bread through, for toast. I also have a grill & bbq plate to go on top.

Cheers Pete

Hi Juggernaut please let me know what you think of the Kings as I am also thinking of buying one. Regards Tony

To me the Kings unit seems good value for money and not that heavy with the ability to put longish logs in it.

Just wondered if the chimney folds up to store in the body of the stove for storage/travel. Ditto the legs.

Not that I am an intending purchaser as we have no where to store when not in use.

And if its a really good but may not last long at the price with free P&P.

Hi Baldbug

It looks a good stove for the price.

Here are some links to videos of it

Thanks, I've seen the Youtube clips and there are more of them but they appear to be "Paid" sponsored clips. At the bottom of those clips there are no reviews or comments on the stove. Surely someone must have brought one by now and can give a review. They are made of 1.2mm steel which is not very thick so I'm interested in how they stand up to some use. We have Agfest again in 2 weeks so I will be looking around at small wood stoves when there.

Hi have used both ozoig and 4Wd superstore so here are the main differences Weight Ozpig 20 kg 4WD ss. About10 Ease of use Ozpig screw in legs take ages to fit 4Wd ss. Fold out and clip in. easy Fire box Ozpig good 4wd ss. Not as easy,logs have to be smaller Lighting Ozpig easyer as there is a grate in the base 4wd ss. Much more difficult as there is no grate for air to get under the fire. Once lit all good Both are good we tend to move every day when we are camping os set up and pack down is priority si 4wd ss comes out on top for us but if you are taking it easy. Ozpig is fine. Both pack into themselves for storage. The new Wooshka loots like a hybrid of both so may have to invest in one of those too.
