1. Best twig stove I've seen.

   Posted by Jack Voss on Dec 2nd 2019

   In the outback, gear should be rock solid reliable. So far, in my experience, that means KISS, Keep It Simple, Sweetheart. Murphy's Law says that "Though leakproof tanks do, moving parts don't." Littlbug has fugured this out, and has designed a reliable piece of gear.
   
   I carry mine as primary cooking source sometimes, and ALWAYS have it along as a backup cooking source, and for small camfires. I've given them as gifts to two other outdoirsmen, and recommended it to another. When the day is done - they work. Period.

2. Over 100 days and still going strong

   I couldn't be happier with my Littlbug Jr. I've got over 100 days and nights of cooking over this stove and it's never disappointed. A friend recently offered me a free Solo Stove but after looking it over and comparing it to my well worn Littlbug I passed. I don't know that it's possible to beat the Littlbug in terms of simplicity and design.

3. A great little stove!

   The Little Bug Junior is lightweight, very easy to store, assembles quickly, and with our Solo Stove, boils water in 7 minutes or less even on a windy day. We couldn't ask for anything more!

4. Impressed so far

   Yesterday I tested it by making coffee in the back yard. It used a fraction of the wood I expected to bring about 400ml to boil, and did so really quickly. I'll be using this in my next outings for sure!

5. Great little stove!

   I used this with alcohol to make coffee and toast bagels at the same time. Works great!

6. just tested it

   i just bought this and took it out on a five day camp trip and it worked perfectly. easy to put together and take apart, fits in the pack taking up no room at all, and keep me warm during the cold nights. i tried it one night with my trangia, and it worked well as a wind screen. This is a great product.

7. Works GREAT with Trangia burner!

   Posted by WH on Nov 25th 2017

   I first used this with my Trangia burner. It is faster to boil water than either my Trangia Stormcooker or Clikstand, however it still consumes the same amount of alcohol for the amount of water boiled. The Littlbug seems to concentrate the heat and make the Trangia burn hotter and faster. It boils 1 liter of water (covered,starting at 45 degrees F) in 8 minutes, and 2.5 liters (covered,same temp).

   I have acquired a couple of wood burning stoves over the years, but never been too satisfied with them. They usually work good, but never really great, as there is always something that could be better. So I bought the Littlbug Junior to try it out. First I have to say, it is very light. The metal sheets are quite thin, but that does not really matter when it is assembled. Sitting ready on the ground, it is more than ready to go, and it works surprisingly well. With the bottom holes placed against the wind, letting oxygen in, it burns very well. Also, it is not a problem feeding the stove, as there is ample room between a pot and stove itself. I could feed the stove from all sides, with no risk of burning myself. Now, if you have a large frying pan on top, you will probably have to lift the pan to feed it. As Mr. Mears suggests, I put the stove with its protective sleeve into my 12 cm Billy Can, and put the lid on top, and that works very well. There is also plenty of room for other items in the Billy Can as well as the stove, so you can bring your alcohol burner, matches, lighter, fire steel, scouring pad, soap, or whatever. Of the wood burning stoves I have used, this is the one that works the best. It is light, easy to assemble, and easy to feed. And, it is large enough to burn a bit larger material than other stoves I have tried, and that is a good thing. Having a large fire when camping is nice, but sometimes, especially in the summer, you can't. So if you have a wood burning stove, that can be the solution. Just remember to put something under the stove, so you do not burn the ground; that way, you do not leave a trace. A bit pricey, but worth it. Happy camping!

9. Got it at Canadian Outdoor Equipment Co.

   My favorite. I saw Doug outside using this on Instagram. When I came into your store I saw it and bought it immediately. I was amazed how well it works only needing a couple handfuls of little sticks to boil 1 L of water. I have been using the Kelley kettle for years but it's just too bulky. Come to find out afterwords it nests perfectly inside of my entire cook set. If you want to see it in action check out the link bellow.

10. Fantastic little wood stove, exceeded my expectations!

    I did a lot of research on the most popular backcountry wood stoves including models that were double walled and single walled, models that are cylindrical and others that are put together in panels. I eventually chose the Littlbug Jr. because it is super compact and light. When the package arrived I was a little skeptical on how it would perform in the field because the metal gauge was quite thin and dimensions a little small. The stove packs down into 4 curved pieces that can easily fit around a sleeping pad, or bag. I keep mine in a 4 quart pot because I do a lot of cooking for groups of 3 or 4. The stove itself is extremely well made and efficient, every hole, flange, slot and shape has a purpose. It's truly a marvel of ingenious simplicity. I tested the stove in my backyard using scrap twigs, dried leaves, dead grass and any biomass I could find on the ground. The fire started right away and within 30 seconds could feed it larger pieces of wood about 3/4" in diameter. Everything burned down to ash. I put a 2 liter kettle on top and it boiled faster than my MSR whisperlite. The stove will support the smallest of cups up to larger diameter pots and pans. It's easy to drop wood into the gap between the pot and stove. Everyone will have different burn times depending on your wood fuel and environmental conditions. I'm really glad I purchased it, I will also use it to produce ambient heat when it's cold because the volume is large enough to actually enjoy a little fire. Made in Minnesota by a few good folks.
