    4WD Supacentre has the 3 leg ones on sale for $84.00! Free Delivery! Hmm...not sure what the quality will be like at that price?

    I've got a cheap steel offset smoker, which has gone totally rusty within a year. It still works ok, but I can see it rusting out pretty fast. I reckon these $84 jobbies will go the same way.

    Just search EBay for 'compact wood camping stove' and there are heaps of them for as little as $10. Some fold up to pocket size. Interesting. I might order one just to try it.

    Amazon also has lots of different designs.

    I've used the Biolite stove while camping in the US. Unfortunately it's rubbish.

    This one's cute for $8 bucks, but the wood in the picture is too big for the stove! LOL

    Question for those with Oz Pig stoves

    Got an oz pig. Great bit of kit and have been allowed to use in in places where they don’t allow open fires. Cooks well. Heats well for its size. Downside: Heavy (bulletproof); bulky (albeit it all packs away along with a limited amount of wood in its bag); only takes smaller wood as a general rule with the door shut - or you leave it open for big bits. Not an issue for a couple of nights to pack and unpack. Overall we’re happy.

    Edit - oh and get the mesh door rather than the standard door. Burns much better.

    I have the Kings/Aldi/Frontier cooker - bought for $129.00 & a mate has the Ozpig.
    The Ozpig seems to draw better, I needed to make a mesh base (which the Ozpig has) for mine, which has improved it greatly. I am pretty convinced the Ozpig is way overpriced after quite a few comparisons, but I also think it is 25% better but you pay 300% more for it.

    I'll let you know later this week when mine arrives. I took one for the team and bought one (with the carry bag). It doesn't appear to have the spark arrestor that the Aldi one appears to have. At least, it's not mentioned in the Adventure Kings blurb. I might need a bit of SS mesh (flyscreen?) to make one.

    I bought one from Adventure Kings rather than Aldi because, for the same price (delivered), it came with a carry bag and a choice of a freebie (I took the solar shower as I'd broken my previous one by driving over it).

    As I thought, unlike the Aldi unit, it doesn't come with a spark arrestor. I have some SS wire mesh so I'll make one. I noticed small squares of SS mesh are available from SuperCrap for repairing camp toasters. Price $2.

    I had to do a bit of hammering to get the flue section with the damper to fit the other flue sections.

    When you light it up for the first time it will smoke badly as it burns off the paint.

    You will need to make some sort of lifter for the circular removable piece.

    The videos say to open to door to get more heat to warm oneself. Actually, not much heat comes out the door. Most heat radiates from the sides of the stove. The temps on the sides were in excess of 300 deg C (as tested with my Fluke IR thermometer which maxes out at 300 deg.)

    I'll take it with me but will the campground allow its use?
