Littlbug camp stoves burn wood or alcohol. Go light and gather sticks and twigs for your stove or carry alcohol for quick, convenient heat. You can switch between using wood and alcohol to meet your needs and still pack less weight than you would for a stove that requires refined fuel. Littlbug challenges the assumption that a backpacking stove has to take space in your pack. Littlbug Stoves’ unique geometry results in a remarkable size reduction when stowed for transport, and the pieces nest in a fashion that permits you to wrap the stove around a sleeping pad.

Designers of gas stoves are hindered in their attempt to reduce the size and weight of what you carry because most of the size and weight of their package is fuel. Littlbug Stoves are designed to reduce or eliminate the need to carry fuel – the choice is yours. Littlbug Stoves burn sticks and twigs, so depending on where you go, you may not need to carry fuel. This provides weight, space, and operating cost savings.
