What Ben Grills the former SAS who now on TV eating bugs as he fights the elements and so on.......



Oh wait you are talking about one of my pet hates...

The great british summer time where stupid men throw raw frozen meat on a grill stink the place out and burn the outside of the meat while inside remains raw. Serve up eat and on the bog for the next couple of days with bad guts.

I doubt they'd appreciate being laid out over hot coals

For the prepper, back country camper or for a quick cup of coffee when the power goes out. When I go into the wild for a few days I take my Optimus cooker. On windy days it does require a wind screen, but that's an easy fix.

Optimus makes some good gear, I have the Polaris. Used it just three times, however. No wilderness over here. I just enjoy these things for the sake of what they are and how well they are made. Collector's item, so to speak.

I am shifting towards the Ecozoom Versa rocket stove, due to its versatility (coal and biomass/wood burning), and the charms of open fire (wood really burns quzite high out of the opening, also it is quite safe, produces less smell neighbours could complain about, and no flying sparks if having a pot placed on the top:






with a Petromax cast iron grid to process meat over coal,



This beign an option for later:



while I already have a huge wok-pan made of cast iron in use, a Swedish model (Skeppshult):



I am not certain I have use for a Dutch oven, I do not plan to cook ordinary dishes on this thing, but just do typical asian-style Wok cooking (means: very hot and high temp, very short), and steaks/meat over coals.

I have no clue whether Ecozoom is a British or Americna brand.

When you get ready for your 2 week cross country bicycle tour of Europe the Optimus will come in handy. Lightweight, compact and no need to spend money at restaurants for an overpriced prepared meal.

Some of those stoves don't look safe to me especially on a balcony above other people feeding wood or coal into it.

Jim's looks like a more traditional way to barbecue they even have one that uses wood chips or should I say wood pellets sold in big bags to go with it.

Think safe ... you don't need a mad neighbor
