Has anyone used one of these Littlbug stoves?

I saw them at a canoeing event this past weekend, and they seem really nifty. Because of the way the stow away, it seems a much better implementation of an old idea.

Of course, I would like one, but the problem would be, decided which size I wanted more.

Just wondering if anyone has any first hand experience with them.

Yeah, I was a bit shocked at the price too. Plus, I would probably want the bottom piece, which is also extra $$$ too!
 
Kind of reminds me of my ZZtove (except for the packability :()

Thanks, Bryan. That cinches it then. I'll buy one (hard to go wrong at that price).

Hey Bryan,

Gauging by the other dimensions, the opening looks to be about 4" square? Sound about right? If so, 2lbs is quite heavy for the size.
 
Hi all,

dawsonbob Yea for that price they are pretty cool.

Brian I just weighed mine and it is 1.5 3/8 oz. Well that is what the scales says LOL. And the opening on mine is 3"x3". I wish it was a little lighter too, but oh well. LOL It works pretty good though well I think LOL.

Looks interesting but a little pricey.
If one of your guys gets one, be sure to post a review.
 
If it is anything like this one:

Save your hard-earned money!

It burned the wood just fine until I put the pot on top, then it cuts off the air flow and the fire cools down and it will not boil water.

I think you do just as well to dig a small fire pit and carry a small grate to put over part of the pit. Leave enough room to feed in your fuel and you have the same thing.

Just my 2 cents.

If the stove is useless to you as it is, maybe try punching some more holes into it to increase the airflow when the pot is on.. this might alleviate the problem to some extent.

Just a suggestion
