Review on πŸ”₯ Bulin Windproof Camping Stove: Lightweight Portable Cooking Tool Set for Travel, Hiking, and Backpacking by Will Randles

Revainrating 3 out of 5

works well. Needs better flame spread and igniter

Package arrived before promised date - thanks! I've seen several reviews of different stoves, all of which were BULIN stoves, and it's confusing, so I'll say up front that this review is for a 6800w stove - foldable legs and all. So I left my trusty gas stove behind, bought a suitable gas cartridge and off we went. First impressions are of a well-dressed cheap cooker. The same stove without the heavy windbreak can be purchased at several Chinese locations for as much as $30. I think I could just buy a basic 3 burner stove with EXACTLY the same burners for half the price and just put a windshield in it, but honestly I like the build. The sturdy, foldable legs make it very easy to set up the wok. it's also quite windproof, which is nice. What I don't like: First, it's heavy and clunky. not that big of a problem if you throw it in the back of a jeep. otherwise - took about 2 days to light - this part of the stove is cheaply made and will likely burn through and fall off - i have had to use the lighter a few times and when you have a pan on the stove and i don't have a proper long lighter for the job, just a beak you got from a friend who smokes, uh. The combination of pan and stove creates a gas pocket //. Luckily I kept my eyebrows. rzunimag. And one more thing - may I remind you - this is NOT for those who really want to be a gourmet - although there are camp stoves that will make you almost anything - the reason being that it's just a basic 3 burner stove Kocher is finally out with a lot of jewelry. So the flame is very concentrated. It's cool when you're wok frying, but not so cool when you're using a big pan like a 15" pan on a windy cold night and you have a hot spot in the middle and the rest stays warm. - Ish. What's good about it? boils water fast - you can carry small pots, big pots, pans - you can cook serious food on it if you think it's not perfect
